‘Tis the season to be a FIFA fan. First came the release of chart-topping game FIFA 11, which is widely hailed the best soccer game ever. Now comes the free release of EA’s Ultimate Team’ mode, where players can handpick their dream squads from an impressive catalogue of over 8000 footballers from across the world. Available for download as of today, ‘Ultimate Team’ is jam packed with new features, especially requested by fans.
This latest mode is expected to prolong the incredible buzz of excitement around FIFA 11, which continues to top gaming charts in the UK and score record breaking European sales figures. Since it’s EU release in October, this challenging multiplayer football game has taken markets by storm, selling over 2.6 million copies in under a week. This makes FIFA 11 the biggest sports game launch of all time, beating its predecessor FIFA 10 to the title.
Using cutting edge Personality+ technology, this edition captures the playing styles of the world’s best footballers with more accurate detail than ever before. What is more, the game incorporates a brilliant function called ProPassing technology, which considers factors like skill, situation and urgency to determine the accuracy of a pass.
But despite this range of impressive state of the art features, FIFA 11 has a lighter, funner appeal for less hardcore footy fans. For example, the Wii edition takes players to the four corners of the world where they can challenge opponents in atmospheric settings complete with authentic sights and sounds.
