Building comparison
head to head
Pro Evolution Soccer ManagementvsSimCity (2013)
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

SimCity (2013)
No opponent; multiplayer regions cooperate.
Variance3 vs 3
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Pro Evolution Soccer Management
match simulation randomness
SimCity (2013)
Agent simulation quirks behave unpredictably.
Optimization8 vs 8
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Pro Evolution Soccer Management
squad building and tactics fully solvable
SimCity (2013)
Specialization chains and traffic layouts reward systematic planning.
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
