Gaming News - November 2006
Redwood City, CA (November 1, 2006) - EA today announced that FIFA
Soccer 07 for the Xbox 360 is now shipping.
From EA:
FIFA Soccer 07 on the Xbox 360 videogame system from Microsoft heralds the
start of the next generation of soccer gaming and fans now have the opportunity
to experience the dynamic new EA SPORTS engine and all-new gameplay after
Electronic Arts shipped FIFA Soccer 07 on Xbox 360 to stores
throughout North America and Europe, making it available to fans worldwide.
FIFA Soccer 07 on the Xbox 360 moves away from the traditional animation-based
game engine and now enables raw physics and data to drive the action, creating
true-to-life movement and the most advanced visuals seen in a soccer game.
Player characteristics are based on brand-new traits and twice the number of
attributes, so you won't see two players moving in exactly the same way. Instead
they look and behave like the athletes we see gracing the pitch week-in,
week-out.
Improved fundamental controls that are easy to pick-up-and-play but difficult to
master and enhanced AI enable you to truly enjoy the virtual recreation of the
beautiful game. The ball and players react to your slightest touch with an
unprecedented level of responsiveness. For the first time ever the ball is alive
with its own independent physics, resulting in truly unpredictable gameplay. Now
any type of pass or shot is possible and goals will feel natural and unique.
The FIFA Soccer 07 official website located at www.FIFA07.ea.com celebrates the
beautiful game with the most comprehensive combination of real life and virtual
interactive soccer content, including real world soccer news, fixtures, results,
tables, detailed squad stats and 1,000’s of individual player profiles. Take the
EA SPORTS online quiz to test your soccer knowledge against fans from around the
world. The FIFA Soccer 07 official website is customizable for 15 international
markets. It features an overview of the videogame’s features, gameplay videos of
the world’s superstars, producer blogs and interviews, the game’s official
soundtrack and the ability to download customizable wallpapers.
FIFA Soccer 07 offers never-before-experienced real-time player analysis and
pulls together all the facts at the final whistle to accurately rate the best
player in the park and award him the ultimate accolade – Man of the Match. The
rich feature depth available on FIFA Soccer 07 is complete with Manager Mode and
an all-new player evolution system that enables you to develop world-class
players, FIFA Soccer 07 Lounge for the ultimate in multiplayer sessions, and a
Challenge mode that offers 85 scenarios to test even the most hard-core gamer.
FIFA Soccer 07 on the Xbox 360 also includes comprehensive online features that
streams up-to-the-minute real-world game results via real-time, weekly podcasts
and news ticker. Nowhere else will soccer fans find such a comprehensive
destination for soccer stats, information and real-world news available in five
languages. While online, FIFA Soccer 07 will enable four friends to play
together on one console against four of their rivals sharing another console for
the ultimate in bragging rights.
