Damn, such a bummer
No good football games in a long time
PES2021 is the current pinnacle of footy sims imo. It gets the fundamentals of first touch (soft,medium,hard) and using momentum to wrong-foot defenders really well. But, we need next gen animations and physics calculations as all recent footy games are swamped with glitchy transitions and plain wrong/impossible turns, passes, shots, touches, etc.
In some ways pre motion capture PESes where more true (although far from perfect as well).
In no way EA sports was perfect with FIFA but at one point they did at least seem to try with career mode and features etc.Football games seem to addict people by being gambling loot boxes now rather than actual gameplay being something you can just pick up and have fun with
