Electronic Arts today announced a unique, downloadable game mode called FIFA 09 Ultimate Team that will deliver a strategic new online experience to FIFA 09 on PlayStation 3 Xbox 360.
FIFA 09 Ultimate Team challenges you to collect or create the most talented football players in the world, develop them into a dream team and then compete online against a legion of challengers to be crowned the ultimate team.
The winner of 25 international game quality awards, FIFA 09 is the most popular EA SPORTS game played online*. Over 141 million games of FIFA 09 have been played online on both consoles since the game's European launch on 25 September 2008. An average of 1.25 million games are played every day, which is 321 percent more than FIFA 08. FIFA 09 Ultimate Team expands the FIFA 09 online experience by delivering the ultimate fantasy in club football to all these online gamers.
"Online is the next great frontier in sports gaming. We are seeing a record number of individuals globally playing FIFA 09 online so we are focused on developing games that maximize the online experience," said Andrew Wilson, vice president and executive producer for the franchise. "A dedicated team developed FIFA 09 Ultimate Team and they have created a game within the game, delivering a strategic new way to play FIFA 09 that will create hundreds of additional hours of playing time."
FIFA 09 Ultimate Team challenges you to collect 30 different types of bronze, silver and gold virtual cards, including Player, Staff, Contract, Formations, and Tactics, to create your perfect fantasy team. Strategically collect and manage players and different types of cards, and then set the match strategy to win. Carefully select or trade for the right Manager, then choose the best Tactics and Formations that forge a team chemistry necessary to take your club to the top. Plus, deal Gameplay cards on your opponent at key moments of any match for a tactical advantage.
Create yourself in game, line up alongside your heroes and captain your squad to glory. Customize everything from players and stadiums to the kits and badges, creating the world's next great football club. Compete offline and online to earn more valuable cards or trawl the market for the ones needed to complete a winning team. Climb the league table or compete in knockout tournaments for the most coveted trophies, where the opposition becomes more difficult after each victory.
Feel the exhilaration as you take your carefully assembled squad into matches and tournaments online against the most formidably talented teams ever assembled - and out play them. Here is the ultimate test of your skills as a player and manger. Write your own legend with FIFA 09 Ultimate Team!
FIFA 09 Ultimate Team will be available as a download to FIFA 09 beginning 19 March 19 2009. You will be able to experience the new game mode by creating a team with a starter pack of players and virtual cards and play a five-game trial before deciding to purchase the FIFA 09 Ultimate Team mode in full.
