Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH today announced its iPES – The Fan App is now available for free on the App Store. The app has been specifically designed to appeal to PES fans with an iPhone or iPod touch.
iPES – The Fan App allows users to collect credits in different sections and features four news channels plus a host of sub-games, each of which allows users to collect fresh points each day. Accessing the PES News, PES Blog, PES League and sports news streams will reward the user with 50 credits each day. There is also a daily quiz which offers users 50 credits if the Question of the Day is answered correctly first time, or 25 if they get it on the second attempt.
The app also includes videos of some of the greatest scored goals on PES 2010. Each month, three of the best goals scored will be uploaded and users encouraged to select what they consider the best goal in return for 750 points. There is also a ‘What Happens Next?’ sub-game where users watch footage from PES 2010 and pick from one of three possible outcomes. Getting it right first time will earn them 500 points, with 250 gained if it is guessed second time round.
Point credits from the app can be used to collect special PES 2010 cards. A pack of five collectors cards costs 250 points, and contains a mixture of tips and tricks skill advice, team cards, club badges, or stadia. Purchased cards are stored within the user’s All-Star Album and they can also swap, or trade, cards with other iPES – The Fan App users over Wi-Fi.
The iPES – The Fan App is a great way to keep in touch with the PES series and it has a strong social element as it can be set to download all new elements automatically and link with friends via Facebook.
iPES – The Fan App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at http://www.itunes.com/appstore/. iPES – The Fan App was developed by Clanmo GmbH, Mobile Interactive Agency, Munich.

iPES – The Fan App
General
iPES is the iPhone App for PES fans.
Collect credits (points) with everything you do in the App and exchange the credits directly in the App for digital PES 2010 collector cards in a range of categories. You can browse through all the cards you have already collected in your album and see which ones you already have or how many collector cards you are still missing.
PES 2010 Collector cards
You need 250 credits for a pack of PES 2010 collector cards. Each pack contains 5 random collector cards.
The counter on the top right corner of the App shows you how many credits you currently have. The counter turns green when you have enough credits for a new pack. You can then open a new pack of PES 2010 collector cards in the “All-Star Album” area.
Each pack contains a random selection of cards.
There are cards from the following categories:
- Tips & Tricks (various tips and tricks to do with PES 2010)
- Teams (various club and national teams from PES 2010)
- Team Badges (emblems or flags of the club and national teams from PES 2010) and
- Stadiums (football stadiums included in PES 2010)
Collecting credits (points) / Features
You can collect credits by using all the features of the iPES App. A different number of credits are allocated for each feature.
News
iPES contains 4 news channels. PES News, PES Blog, PES League and UEFA News. You will get 50 credits each time you access a news channel, however only once a day!
Quiz
A new question is activated every day in the quiz. If you answer correctly first time around you get 50 credits, at the second attempt you only get 25 credits and there are unfortunately no points for the third attempt.
Videos
iPES has 2 video categories
Goal of the Month
This section contains videos of 3 PES 2010 goals each month. Simply select your favourite and you get 750 credits. You can find all previous goals of the month as well as the voting results in the archive.
What Happens Next?
Here you will regularly find interesting PES 2010 videos and you have to guess how each video ends.
Look at the scene and then decide on one of three possibilities. All possibilities depict a possible outcome. If your first guess is right you get 500 credits. If you don’t guess the correct solution until your second try you only get 250 credits. You unfortunately won’t get any credits if you don’t guess correctly until your third try.
You can find all past “What Happens Next?” videos under the menu option Archive if you want to play them again. There are however no credits in this case.
The All-Star Album
Here you can exchange your credits for PES 2010 collector cards and browse through the cards you have already collected. As soon as the collector card pack has a folded corner, this means that you can open a new pack (also indicated by the green-coloured credit counter). You can rip open a pack by swiping your finger from left to right quickly over the pack.
If you tap on the pictures display in turn at the bottom of the display, this takes you to the gallery containing the cards you have already collected.
Trading
You can trade collector cards with your friends via the Wi-Fi function of your iPhone or iPod touch. You must of course be within Wi-Fi range to do this.
Click on the Trade icon >picture< in the menu of the All-Star Album in order to start trading.
Then connect up with the telephone or iPod touch of your exchange partner. Now you can both select the picture that you want to trade. You can finally confirm the trade on the screen and the two pictures selected will be swapped between the two devices.
Settings
You can decide in the Settings whether you want to share your successes in the App with your friends on Facebook. You will however still be asked before every publication on your Facebook profile whether you consent to the publication.
You can also decide here whether the application should automatically search for new content such as videos, quiz questions etc. so that you don’t have to reactivate the application every time you start up.

Well done CONami , good to see you are addressing the real issues with this “Fan App” and not pandering to all those moaning about online issues and button-lag.
Indeed, I mean EVERYONE not only owns a fruity iphone but are also desperate for crappy apps for it rather than, say, having a penalty given for a computer player scything down all 3 of your strikers in the box with a single sliding tackle. *sigh*
I’m not a cynical person, honestly, but whoopty-bloody-doo…
What is this, Pro Evolution Pokemon?!
PES 2010 collector’s cards… an expensive (yes, it’s free, but I’m including the cost of an iphone/ ipod touch here) and pointless knock-off of FIFA 10′s Virtual Pro sticker book, which not only came with the ACTUAL GAME, but actually served a purpose.
Most of the other bits are badly outdated to those who have an internet connection.
As banger75 said, whoopty-bloody-doo!!!
pes collector cards eh, i better go out and get an i-phone, my life is now complete, and this fixes all the problems with pes 2010, all is well with the world once again, thanks CONami, your a great bunch of guys who give us gamers what we want, cheers.
Very good job !!! Amazing amount of time wasted on a useless application
It took these idiots 2 months to release a roaster update that a 10 year old would do in a day
do these credits fix the sh1t f#cking online?? useless c#nts
Harsh but fair Cheech
Ok..some may say. Fifa is the best football game.
For me its a fun game to play. But as for online thers no lag.
What relly p iss me off is all the time if im winning 3 – 0 or so the EA servers go’s down in a midow of a game.
It has happen over 20times and now im getting pis s off abt it!
I did play pro evo but it was just a joke online.
Now im thinking fifa is just as bad online!
Becos when it happens you los 3-0.
What shil i do..? :(
may be i will get a xbox..but im not sure if it will be the same as the ps3..online..help if any one can.
@11,12
The same on the xbox.They playing fifa because is lag free and the servers is crashing because of the big participation of the players.This year there is no football game to play!!!!
I still have a PS2 i maybe getting Pes 2010 for it its under £20, Ive traded Pes 2010 for Fifa on PS3 and im bored already. Not sure what to do as i need a footy game to play and the reviews of the PS2 version seem very good.
Dont no if i can really enjoy playing on a PS2 when i spent aload of money on a PS3!
I agree with all comments above about a game on iphone, great a chocolate kettle comes to mind!
Guys,
I know this is off topic, so soz however i have not logged into my pesgamins account for a while – any reason why I cannot send PM’s to any of the admin lot. I have Master league questions and i thought someone might be able to help me out?
I very much doubt anyone who worked on the iphone app were from the actual PES programming team.
The PES team will have specific roles that they concentrate on. The production of x doesn’t affect the work done on y and z. The iphone app was most likely outsourced to a third party iphone app programming company. There is some very misplaced criticism going on.
Online, I haven’t tried it yet. I’m not really that bothered as it satisfies my offline gaming needs.
I am happy to offer constructive criticism to Konami, as with just about every game, there are areas it could be improved. But if i were to slag them off, considering I don’t deem FIFA to be as good, I would have to slate EA and then every other developer who can’t even be bothered to attempt to make a football game.
Anyone with man management skills would know that slagging off someone’s work is not going to result in more effort or a better end product. You are being counterproductive and it isn’t going to get anyone anywhere.
@16 – **applause**
Yup. I totally agree with that.
However – Everyone knows I’m a blind an biased PES fanatic/fanboy, but I honestly can’t say that even I think this iPES thing is cool.
Mind you, if anyone gets it please post the tips ;) LOL
(I don’t have an iPhone myself).
PEACE
thanks 13.
CONami strike again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is anybody over the age of say 12 going to be interested in this pokemon come premier league allstars gimmick??
I do agree with Duffman though this has to be a third party production I can’t honestly seeing Seabass and his cronies thinkin ‘I know what will get everybody onside again a useless f@ckin app for something most people don’t own’ GREAT!!
I personally like this game maybe not love that affection is stil reserved for PES5/6 but alot has got better (online obviously not but I aint starting that debate again)i feel this edition is alot more enjoyable and at least we have a decent ML this time alot more depth than the last few.
I like the app, it’s quite cool.
EGYPT
guys i cant find chealse in the teams
