Pro Evolution Soccer goes free-to-play with Louis van Gaal simulator PES Manager

Konami has just launched a new version of its famous football series Pro Evolution Soccer on iOS and Android.

But you can stop lacing up your boots and sleeping with your teammate's girlfriends. You see, this is actually a sticker-swapping free-to-play management game, inspired by the Manager Mode in FIFA 14.

PES Manager is all about badges, which feature more than 1,500 real-world players. You collect these badges, train them up, choose their formation on the pitch, and then set them loose in automated 3D matches.

By winning these matches, you will earn experience points, special skills, and currency to enter the tombola so you can get more players on your team.

To be perfectly honest, I know about as much about football as I do about the Papua New Guinea provincial government system. So, you're better trying it out for yourself to see what you think. You can get it on iOS and Android for free.
