TIL about Bomba Patch, a series of Brazilian mods for Pro Evolution Soccer for the PS2 that, for a number of years, were more popular than the official FIFA games. (en.wikipedia.org)

Bomba updates the game with current rosters, Brazilian translations, a custom theme song, and even meme teams (like a team of real players that all went to prison at some point, and the whole team is in matching prison gear. They're still updating to this day! The Patch was originally sold on discs, but has since moved to online distribution.

In Colombia we had a version of PES that had the colombian teams. It was just the international teams, but with the skin colors of ther uniforms and names of the players changed.

I wonder why PES specifically is so popular for this? I think it has something to do with PS2's being able to play burned discs without needing a hardware mod, but i'm not 100% sure.

Many people including me consider PES 2007 as the best football game ever released. Even current new football games doesn't give the same vibes as playing that game.
