Konami has announced the release of PES Club Manager for iOS and Android. It's supposed to make use of 3D game elements including the game engine that powers PES 2015. The free-to-play game is being released with total of 18 localized versions: UK English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Chinese, Swedish, and various versions of Latin American Spanish.
In their quest to turn a small club into the best of the best, players will be able to build their squads using over 5000 licensed players. More details from the press release:
The match day element of PES Club Manager recreates the drama of a top-level game. The stunning 3D elements that brought PES 2015 to vivid life have been fully utilized within the mobile game, representing a spectacular level of realism. Matches truly reflect the tactical systems implemented by the user, with the licensed players also instantly recognizable in how they move and play. A simple menu interface also allows users to make changes to tactics mid-match, with the on-field action instantly adapting to reflect the defensive or offensive push. All the licensed players in the game reflect their real-life counterparts and outline their playing style and key abilities.
PES Club Manager features a unique “Player Management” system to help bolster the squad. Users can acquire new footballers through a transfer market where the highest bidder will get the player in a real-time auction. Through a scouting system, new talents can be spotted, and through the Youth Academy, users can continuously access upcoming stars as well. Players can then be developed individually by focusing on different skills, well-known from the Pro Evolution Soccer series to improve personal and team skills throughout the season, further enhancing the strength of the team.
Lastly, PES Club Manager also includes a "My Home Town" feature that allows users to customize and manage the surrounding town environment of your stadium. Upgrading your facilities, such as youth academies, club house and medical facilities, are key in strengthening your football team. Every facility will give different advantages (e.g. increase revenues, improve training conditions for players, and attract new up and coming talent).
