EA has today also revealed a new online game mode, FIFA 09 Clubs. This PS3 and Xbox 360 mode enables gamers to form or join user-controlled clubs anywhere in the world. Up to 50 people can come together in a club and a team of 10 can take to the field when competing in Be A Pro: 10 v 10 Online Team Play.
Clubs are based on total points and will be placed in a division, which will include relegation and promotion to different divisions based on their performance during the season. Club Managers will also be able to scout rival players and recruit them to join their club.
FIFA 09 is scheduled for release on October 3 for Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii, PS2, PSP and Nintendo DS.
