Let me know if I missed something, and I will try to get it added.
This is eventually all going to get compiled into one megathread for people who want gaming recommendations from Chapos specifically. Other consoles and genres will come in sporadic subsequent threads. Please contribute to previous threads if you missed them. This is meant to be an exhaustive list.
Expanding on your choice(s) is definitely a plus. Not everyone knows about or has played non-mainstream titles.
The Championship Manager/Football Manager series is my favourite. But it is hard to recommend as it is a yearly release kind of deal. I am hopelessly addicted to them since the early 00s. Best sports sim games by some distance.
FM is fucking crack. Been a while since I played but I know my life is over the minute I grab a game with the latest squad updates.
when they asked me who i saw winning the ballon d'or, and i saw one of the names was "Swan Champion" i knew i had to check this guy out. On loan from Real Madrid at Roma, he scored 10 times and assisted 14 times as a CAM. It had now become my destiny to sign this player. Next season, I thought I didn't have the funds to sign him, but then I saw he was averaging an 8.1 rating in his first 3 games back at Real Madrid. I sold a few players, made a record signing of $132M for him. https://i.redd.it/4mmrmg2chkk51.jpg
He's now 29, I think. He found his role as a regista at my Crewe. What a player.
Getting your legendary regens with silly names and seeing them grow up is very rewarding.
Oh wow. Never thought I'd see FM chat on Chapo. I'm the same, addicted since FM2005. If there are enough of us we could get an online game going?
