From the streets of Rio de Janeiro to avenues across Marseille, Wii gamers can score goals by navigating through several terrains in the next installment of the FIFA video game series. EA Sports has revealed that FIFA 11 Wii will embrace a new street football mode, in addition to the conventional 11 versus 11 football matches.
Whether gamers wish to don the jersey of a professional player or kick balls in a crude and rustic style, the new title from the football-based franchise will extend varied experiences. Players will be able to choose from over 30 officially licensed leagues, 500 teams, more than 15,000 players while engaging in the customary 11 versus 11 matches. Whereas, the street play will entail a 5 on 5 fixture.
To augment gaming experience, the new chapter of the series for the Wii is said to be embedded with varied gameplay enhancements. The title will flaunt an all-new attacker vs. defender trick system which will allow players to engage in head-to-head battles while passing the ball across the pitch and demonstrating dozens of elaborate tricks. It has been designed to incorporate a new button-based shooting mechanic, enabling gamers to take complete control in their hands. The advanced animations and fresh shots will instill a vigorous and innovative style in the game as players lead their teams to glory.
Garbing new street wear and boasting a distinctive approach, gamers can deceive defenders, pass the ball to attackers or score a goal on their own with unique abilities. They can utilize the wall to jump past defenders or make brilliant passes to teammates. In addition, by selecting to play in arcade style, they can build up and stimulate the power meter. This will enable players to blast shots, ignite a speed burst or send shockwaves to their rivals.
To further elevate the gaming experience in the street mode, the title will bring the culture of the area in which players select to fight out their gaming battle. Besides, Wii gamers can, for the first time, test their skills in an indoor setting too. Plus, the customization options have been expanded by facilitating players to choose a style and match type. Players can opt for either first to score, Tug of War or timed matches and also perfect their skills with elevated nets for raised touch shots, wall goals for incessant action and play around mini nets to refine accuracy.
European and Asian gamers can load FIFA 11 on their Wii consoles from October 1, 2010 while those located in North America can lay their hands on the title from October 4, 2010. The pricing details of the game have not been revealed yet.
