EA currently has the beta version of their new sub website, eafootballworld.com up and running and football video game fans worldwide are going to enjoy this one.
At present the site is solely linked to the new UEFA Euro 2008 game, giving gamers the ability to really get involved with one another by posting and comparing their own replays from the game, talking trash, and seeing where their nation lies in the leaderboards.
Creating a profile is great fun too, if you are already registered with EA sports, just log in as normal to access the features available. These include:
- The chance to display your allegiance with your favourite club team/s, national team and player.
- The chance to in effect “create a player” to be your avatar at the side of your profile, selecting face and features to recreate yourself or perhaps your favourite player.
- Using credits earned whilst playing EA games to customize the look of your avatar persona….. By completing certain parts of Fifa 08 and Euro 08, credits are linked to your EA account and can then be used on eafootballworld to purchase clothes and equipment for your avatar persona.
- Activate widgets on your page to show your stats, groups, blogs and videos to other members.
The two big features of this site thus far are undoubtedly the uploaded highlights from in game, and the battle of the nations leader board.
Battle of the nations is one of the new features available on UEFA Euro 2008, whereby every single statistic from every 90 minutes you complete in game, are uploaded and count toward yours and indeed your nations score. Utilising the different game modes available on the Euro 2008 game, there are many different ways to earn points and help your country to the top of the tree !!
If the European teams do not interest you, then you may think why bother ? But, it is at least worth checking out in preparation for Fifa 09, keeping in mind that if club teams and the rest of the world come into the fray, those leaderboards and the resultant games online could get pretty heated……….
