EA announced today a new, "premium" service for FIFA Soccer 09 is planned that will change how you approach the game. This new service will dynamically update the player stats each week to better mirror real-world performances.
FIFA will be released this October for the PC, PS3, Xbox 360, PSP, DS, Wii, PS2, and mobile phones.
FIFA Soccer 09 is now powered with dynamic real-world data and analytics, lifting the game to new heights of authenticity for soccer fans and gamers connected online. The adidas Live Season service is based on how real players performed in the most recent real-world matches. Gameplay will change dynamically as the performance of players and soccer teams in the real world experience the highs and lows during their campaigns.
“This is an ambitious and completely unique feature that has never been attempted before for football videogames,” said Andrew Wilson, Vice President & Executive Producer for the franchise. “The game will feel and play differently each week. With adidas Live Season if Ronaldinho has a great match on the weekend you’ll feel the difference when you pick up the controller as his in-game attributes increase.”
A global network of scouts will monitor every player in the adidas Live Season leagues throughout the season to supply accurate and in-depth player and team data each week. Player attributes will be impacted and player performance will change dynamically. The adidas Live Season service is downloaded into FIFA Soccer 09 each week and will run from the launch of the game to the end of the 2008-2009 season. Gamers will have access to one league of their choice for a free trial from the moment they activate it to the end of the 2008-2009 season.
The company has also announced that a demo for FIFA 09 will be available on September 11th for the PlayStation Network and on Xbox Live. They have also secured the exclusive rights to the Spanish Liga BBVA and Adelante and grants them the right to use kits, squads, and player likenesses.“This is an ambitious and completely unique feature that has never been attempted before for football videogames,” said Andrew Wilson, Vice President & Executive Producer for the franchise. “The game will feel and play differently each week.
