The ball floats through the air like a majestic bird in mid flight, 80,000 fans transfixed on its spinning movement. It falls on the chest of a burly centre forward who takes the pace off with an immaculate first touch, spins and recycles the ball out wide to his overlapping left full back who hits it first time. The thumping thud unleashed creates an unstoppable pile-driver that nearly rips through the net.
The crowd erupts in a chorus of boos and cheers. This is football.
For years, football games have lay stagnant in a self-induced coma. Konami, the once untouchable football simulation kings have struggled with mediocrity ever since the dawn of the seventh generation of consoles, and if you were lucky enough to enjoy their PS2 golden era, it's extremely hard not to reminisce about the glory days that fans enjoyed for years.
Truth be told, the magic of football has been lost with the divide between football purists and casual fans closing and unfortunately blending to form an uneasy hybrid in both series, FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer.
With a mixture of great, good and abysmal offerings from both sides, football games were starting to become tedious for fans. PES 2015 has transformed Konami's fortunes for the future of the series while EA have finally started to sort out the bug-infested mess that was FIFA 15 with some patches.
Both games have their flaws but finally, the playing field has been levelled with PES now a serious contender amongst football fans. It might be hard to separate the two games, but that's where this list comes in.

Revealed: Most traded player on FIFA 15 Ultimate Team
EA Sports have released information on all the stats within FIFA 15 and FIFA 15 Ultimate Team for the Premier League this season and it makes for interesting reading.
With the Premier League drawing to a close EA have released a number of interesting figures with regards to games played between Premier League clubs and Premier League players on FIFA 15 Ultimate Team.
There were over 140 million games this season with over 333 million goals, two very impressive numbers.
In total players scored over 56.5 million goals using Costa which was considerably more than second placed Sergio Aguero who got 36.7 million.
Its a sign of how desperate Manchester United fans were to see their team succeed that both Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao were in the top four.
Moving on to the top five traded players and the number one in this list was Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny (yeah were not sure either).
Koscielny is a great player both in real life and in FIFA 15 Ultimate Team but to be the number one player? We were very surprised.
Loic Remy and Kyle Walker were both no surprise given their pace whilst Eliaquim Mangala and Aaron Ramsey finished off the top five traded players.
Interestingly Manchester Citys home kit from 1884 was one of the most traded kits but Manchester Uniteds away kit from this season won that particular battle.

It is absolutely no surprise that Diego Costa of Chelsea led the way in terms of goals, the Blues are the best Premier League team to use in the game and Costa is sensational.
