I love how the FIFA 21 description says " The second best football series " why is PES the first? Besides the fact that it's totally subjective, if we talk about objective things FIFA sells way better, has more fans, it's overall way bigger and more important in the videogames market than PES. Then if we wanna talk subjectively i prefer FIFA overall since PES lacks a lot of licences, the online sucks with lack of modes, p2p servers, lag, disconnections and it takes forever to find a match, plus all the menu design and user interface look like they are from 2005. I was a PES fan during the PS1 and PS2 era and i would have never touched FIFA back then, also my favorite team, Juventus, is a PES "exclusive" but still FIFA is and has been the best soccer game for a while now
Football manager is the best though. Besides PES generally has a better on the field product, though it's lacking in pretty much everything else like you mentioned.
I enjoy fifa for what it is but it's definitely not a high class product year after year.
