Premium service allows the game to mirror real-world events.
Electronic Arts today unveiled adidas Live Season, a new premium service for FIFA 09 which will allow gamers to download weekly information about football players in order to mirror real-world events in the game itself.
“This is an ambitious and completely unique feature that has never been attempted before for football videogames,” said Andrew Wilson, Vice President & Executive Producer for the franchise.
“The game will feel and play differently each week. With adidas Live Season if Ronaldinho has a great match on the weekend you’ll feel the difference when you pick up the controller as his in-game attributes increase.”
A “global network of football scouts” will constantly be monitoring each and every player in the adidas Live Season leagues throughout the season in order to supply “accurate and in-depth player and team data each week.”
The service, which will offered to owners of the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC versions of the game, will be available for the Barclay’s Premier League, La Liga BBVA, Ligue 1, Bundesliga, Serie A and Mexican Primera Division.
