PES
PES—aka Pro Evolution Soccer—was Konami’s legendary football sim that gave FIFA a real run for its money. Known for its smooth gameplay, responsive controls, and diehard fanbase, PES focused on pure, satisfying football rather than flashy licenses. Whether it was Master League glory or pulling off last-minute goals with random free agents, PES was all about feel over fame. It’s now evolved into eFootball, but old-school fans still remember the golden days of tight dribbling, insane comebacks, and slightly off-brand player names.
