FIFA 11 out this autumn

EA has announced that FIFA 11 will be released this autumn, with claims the game will reinvent player authenticity – on and off the ball – for every player and at every position.

“Personality+ is the evolution of individual distinctiveness that sees a footballer’s abilities on the pitch mirrored authentically in our game, creating individual personalities in FIFA 11,” said Executive Producer Kaz Makita. “We have reached a level of sophistication within our game engine where footballers in our game will behave and perform as true individuals.”

Personality+ promises to distinguish individual footballers from one another by utilising a database that evaluates and grades each player’s skill-set over 36 attributes and 57 traits. The EA Sports FIFA franchise utilises a network of 1700 scouts, editors and reviewers positioned around the world to evaluate each player, creating one of the world’s most comprehensive databases to drive its football engine.

Personality+ will be integrated everywhere in-game, with world class players able to showcase their real world skills. Real Madrid’s Kaka will deliver crisp, creative passes, Barcelona’s Andres Iniesta will utilise tighter turns and close control to dribble through defenses, Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney will hold off defenders and strike shots from distance with pace, and top-flight defenders like Giorgio Chiellini of Juventus will anticipate, predict and react to offensive players to win back possession.

Goalkeepers have also been injected with Personality+. The real-life personality of the keeper, whether acrobatic or traditional, will dictate his style in game.

In addition, new body types and player models will also help distinguish each player on the pitch.

FIFA 11 will be available this autumn for PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PC, PS2, DS and PSP.
