In 2013 se implinesc 35 de ani de la lansarea primului simulator de fotbal. Evolutia a fost una rapida, trecand de la tehnologia 2D la cea 3D, jocurile au tinut pasul cu tehnologia calculatoarelor sau a consolelor. Primul joc de fotbal virtual s-a numit simplu "Football" si a fost dezvoltat in 1978 de Mattel. In 1995 cei de la Gremlin Interactive lansau "Actua Soccer", joc care este considerat ca fiind primul simulator care folosea in totalitate grafica 3D.
Acum duelul in domeniu se da intre EA Sports si Konami. Chiar daca japonezii de la Konami s-au axat in principal pe piata consolelor, ei au patruns si pe piata PC-urilor, fiind o concurenta serioasa pentru EA Games. Gigantiul Electronic Arts, sub sigla de EA Sports, a lansat in 1994 primul lor joc de fotbal, fiind denumit "FIFA International Soccer". In 1996 cei de la Konami au lansat primul lor joc de fotbal dar era disponibil doar pentru console, iar in 2003 au lansat si primul simulator pentru PC, acesta fiind denumit "Pro Evolution Soccer 3 (PES3)".
