EA Sports has developed a new feature called Be A Goalkeeper for FIFA 11 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 that will enable fans to experience the thrill of playing as the keeper, and for the first time in a football videogame, will place control of all 22 players on the pitch in human hands. Be A Goalkeeper is a completely new way to play. Instead of thinking as a player out in the middle of the pitch, you have to think and react as the goalkeeper - making the great save from a free kick, punching balls safely out of danger, the pressure of the corner, and most importantly, keeping a clean sheet. “The phenomenal growth of online gaming and the desire of our fans to be able to play as the goalie was the driving force behind this innovation for FIFA 11,” says Kaz Makita, executive producer on EA SPORTS FIFA. “Friends can play alongside each other in their pro clubs with all 11 virtual players on the pitch human controlled. We have finally replicated football in the virtual world.” Chelsea FC and Czech Republic goalkeeper Petr Cech has been signed as the spokesperson for Be A Goalkeeper and will be featured in FIFA 11’s advertising, marketing and promotional campaigns. www.easports.co.uk/fifa Please don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to www.youtube.com - Rapid firing the latest game news, trailers, screens and art that true players don’t wanna miss out on.

FIFA 11 is coming to Nintendo DS, PC, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PSP, Wii, Xbox 360 and mobile phones this autumn. This year’s FIFA is attempting to reinvent player authenticity - on and off the ball - for every player and at every position on the pitch with Personality+, an all-new feature that sees individual abilities reflected in-game, enabling clear differentiation for every player. Elite players are now empowered to showcase their world class skills. Real Madrid’s Kaka will deliver crisp, creative passes, Barcelona’s Andres Iniesta will utilize 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. In addition, goalkeepers have also been injected with Personality+. The real-life personality of the keeper, whether acrobatic or traditional, will dictate his style in game. Dive attributes will determine the keepers with the ability to reach for further shots while reflex attributes determine reaction times, so a keeper like Petr Cech of Chelsea FC will be able to showcase world-class skills. www.easports.co.uk/fifa Please don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to www.youtube.com - Rapid firing the latest game news, trailers, screens and art that true players don’t wanna miss out on.

PES 2011 will be released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 2, PSP and PC in the autumn - and Konami reckons the Pro Evolution Soccer videogame series is about to undergo the most radical revamp in its history. Central to its total freedom of play, PES 2011 introduces a power bar for each player that allows the gamer to determine the exact strength and placement of every pass and shot. Balls can now be spread absolutely anywhere with utter precision, with long balls into space, short passes to feet and intricate one-twos allowing the player to dictate play and control the tempo of a match. And with the game’s new defender AI, defenders now hold their positions naturally, no longer chasing any ball that enters their area; preferring to close down the attacker and force them into a mistake. Konami has also totally reworked every element of in-game animation. Ambient animation adds immensely to the in-game atmosphere, as players behave realistically when off the ball, and walk and run with a variety of individual styles. PES 2011 will also see the return of Lionel Messi - arguably the greatest player in the modern game - as its cover star, and an expansion of the game’s UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League offering. www.konami.com Please don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to www.youtube.com - Rapid firing the latest game news, trailers, screens and art that true players don’t wanna miss out on.
