Depends what you want- more sim or more game. I just play it from time to time just to fuck around with some broken tactics (like no GK) or nostalgia for the old players. Same with USM 98.

Mario Super Strikers for Gamecube is a great hockey game that looks like a soccer game.
I wish studios would build rpgs around sports games. As a combat resolution mechanism it has some advantages, such as the game continuing if the match is lost.
To clarify: I want arcade sports, not simulation or football manager. The sport could be fictional. Actions outside game day could affect home court advantage, improve stats, Tanya Harding an opposing player, etc.

UFC undisputed franchise for PS3/360. Far superior to what EA did with the UFC license in the last years. The last game from THQ included Pride.

FM is more complex and detailed than CM, but the problem is that it consumes your entire life. Haven't touched the series for a few years because I know it could lead to my demise. CM is addictive too, but it's a bit lighter and not as stressful and doesn't occupy your brain every waking moment.
Outside of CM/FM, the most enjoyable football game is still probably PES 5. The one I've played the most is PES 6, though, largely because it toned down some of the exploits of its predecessor. After that the series got severely sidetracked and still hasn't found its way, with PES 2017 being the closest it's got to its glory years.

MVP 2005
NHL 2004
NASCAR Sim Racing
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005
NHL 07 wasn't a great game over all but the skill stick was huge.
Dirt Rally
Not strictly speaking a good game but one I'm fond of similar to how people like NHL Hitz, is NBA Hangtime the old arcade game.
High Heat was great too.
Golden age of baseball games with HH and MVP back to back. I'm partial to the 2003 version myself.

Have you ever tried the PS2 version of 2008 ? It's very different and superior to the crappy PC version. I'd put it ahead of 6 and closer to 5. It does need some global changes to the stats to make it play slower though. (I did a -30 to everyone's speed & acceleration along with some other changes) 5 also benefited from some global adjustments, but not as severe regarding the speed stats.
If you find 5 too easy vs the cpu, you should give it a try. The attacking AI is much improved. A little too good for me in fact, as I lose most of the time. They also have added animations and such.
PES 3 was also really good and I'd put that ahead of 6 also. Defense in 6 is pretty shitty.
