Real Football Manager Edition 2009 goes mobile

Gameloft's management game is back for a new season

Real Football Manager Edition 2009 goes mobile

If you've read our earlier story, you'll know that Gameloft has unveiled Real Football 2009, the latest version of its mobile footy sim. And you'll also know that it connects to the Real Football Manager Edition 2009 game.

So what's that like? Well, Gameloft has taken the wrappers off that this morning too.

The game features 200 clubs and more than 4,000 licensed players to buy, sell, train, and then play out of position marooned on the wing while moaning that your chairman doesn't understand you.

The game's database features all transfers for the 2008/09 season, although having not played it yet, we're not sure if that includes the transfer window dealings from earlier this week, with the likes of Dimitar Berbatov and Robinho.

Gameloft says it's also simplified the game's interface to make it more accessible, and is offering three different viewing modes for matches, including a swizzy 3D view.

You'll be able to tweak your tactics in real-time during matches, while also overseeing all aspects of the club, including handling the press.

And, as we said in the other story, you'll be able to export your squad to Real Football 2009, allowing you to actually control them on the pitch. Exciting stuff.

Real Football Manager Edition 2009 is out this month. Click 'Track It!' for an alert when we review the game.
