Pro Evolution Soccer and Championship Manager team up.

The teams behind the Championship Manager and Pro Evolution franchises, have teamed up to form a fantastic alliance which will result in new levels of realism and enjoyment for digital soccer fans all over the world. <br /> <br /> Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer, the new football title from the ISS franchise and out on PS2 at the end of the month, is set to use the stats from Sports Interactive's database that they maintain for the excellent Championship Manager series, which currently has detailed statistics on over 130,000 players. <br /> <br /> This allegience comes from a mutual respect from both companies for each others work; <br /> <br /> Anyone who’s been to the Sports Interactive office will know what massive Pro Evolution Soccer fans we are.” says Miles Jacobson, Managing Director of Sports Interactive. “So it was a real thrill when we heard that there was mutual respect from the teams behind the games and that they wanted to use our player stats.” <br /> <br /> Dave Cox, European Product Manager of Konami says: “Sports Interactive’s library of player and team data is hugely impressive and the most comprehensive we have seen in the football games market. The use of that data in Pro Evolution Soccer is a tremendous asset to us and will ensure the game becomes the definitive football action title this winter.” <br /> <br /> Pro Evolution Soccer is due for a UK release on November 16th for the Playstation2. Whilst the latest update in the superlative Championship Manager 3 series is out on October 12th for PC.
