The debate surrounding the best game in the series has been a hot button topic for fans since the early 2000s and is a bit more difficult to rank compared to a first-person shooter or third-person action series. The FIFA series, while primarily an annual football simulation franchise, has taken a few chances with games like fan favorite FIFA Street and the quadrennial FIFA World Cup games alongside some smaller DLC releases like UEFA Euro 2012 and the now cancelled FIFA Manager titles. Something I know all too well after more than a decade playing EA's FIFA and Konami's PES/ Winning Eleven games. Soccer fans from all over the world are able to re-live their favorite team's best moments, both on the club and international levels, and duke it out online against teams from different continents. However, not every football game is created equal. After many years of watching European football on television, I'd like to think I know a little bit about what makes for a good simulation of the 'beautiful game'.
