Electronic Arts is giving gamers a chance to sample a hefty 827 MB demo of their upcoming FIFA game, FIFA 07. I'm not a big fan, so I really can't say I care, but this is 'praise-the-lord' kinda news to fans of the sport as this is what they can look forward to:
FIFA 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 football 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.
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.
Meh.
