PES 6 still plays absurdly good. Theres also TONS of patches on PC that cover different league seasons and events like the EUROS and World Cup, to either modernize the game or turn it retro mode. Right now on my PC I have World Cups '90-'18, EUROS 96-20, a few different Champions League seasons and a 2006 Premier League season. Great fun.

Fully aware of PES6. Probably the only game that remains installed on my computer at all times.
Any other choices?

I don't see how it's possible to get sim games out of this, given how bad the defense is. Defensive AI is practically non-existent, especially in the box. Defenders move in unison in a perfect line as if they're on a foosball table.

Everything else about the game is superb though.
