Neither, I'm not into soccer. The only two soccer games I've played are Nintendo World Cup Soccer (NES) and Fox Sports Soccer '99 (PSX).
Even before I've learned to appreciate football games I saw WE/PES as the superior games. There are nuances in the way it controls that I don't like from FIFA games.

During 6th gen era? ISS was the simulationist one, even if still kinda arcadey. It started to change in the 7th gen when EA stole several Konami devs

Also because it can be confusing, but during 6th gen, Konami diverted the franchise in two different paths, WE/PES for the Playstation/XBOX (the simulationist ones, following the blueprint of the PS1 ISS games) and ISS for the GameCube, more arcadey, following the blueprint of the N64 games.

Never knew anyone that played FIFA Street 1, considering the second one released less than a year later in some markets and was 10x better in every way.
FS2 was a sensational game, I remember one time at my cousin's birthday party, we had a tournament with like 20 kids and throughout the whole day I fucking schooled every single one and won and was like the coolest motherfucker for a day
I got into PES too late, PES 2008 on PS2 made me realise I was playing the wrong series for footballing gameplay. It was so cool how it mixed the fun of arcade with the immersion of realistic gameplay, e.g. 50/50 balls felt genuine, while in FIFA up to that point it was always obvious which player would win the ball.
This was around the time that FIFA finally got good however, albeit on seventh gen consoles.

kek I loved this game so much and to hear that Fifa Street 2 was so much better confuses my 10 year old self. For some reason I just didn't like FS2. The soundtrack and the default camera really sucked to me and it didn't feel as good to play
I played both FIFA and PES/WE a lot, but not much else and generally against friends.
I've been craving a footy game with good singleplayer progression, like choosing/creating a team and taking it to the top, or being a player/manager and managing your career and stuff. What's your favorite football game to do stuff like that, anons? It doesn't have to be a PES or FIFA title.

I didn't even know PES existed until 2011. My last Fifa was 2005 and then I played Fifa 2011, loved that then I tried PES 2011 and that was the best soccer game I ever played.

I remember playing the sequel for GameCube at my friend's, I quickly caught the trick to score freekicks any time I wanted with certain players (Rivaldo was the easiest), made him seethe a lot while winning all matches 7-0. Nigga just stop fouling me, that's all you needed to do.

it took way too long before sports games let you pick and play as just one character, forcing you to stick to that one role whilst the COM plays everything else.
>that guy who exclusively plays PES
Was that you?
The other day, my niece complained to me that her boyfriend only wants to play PES and, occasionally, NFS Underground 2.
