This is really the kind of news that can make Microsoft wins the battle againts Sony. If you have in Japan and specially in Europe the exclusive rights of Fifa and Pro Evolution (Winning Eleven, the best sport game in the planet) that can make you have in your pockets hundreds of thousands buyers more!!.
For Xbox 360 this movement is ten times more important that GTA 4!!!.

I see a new dawn breaking... where game companies have exclusive rights to games made by other companies with exclusive rights.
I feel something stirring deep within me. Could it be a touch of sympathy for Sony? If anything, I find Winning Eleven to be a far more intuitive experience with the dual shock controller. Meh.

New engine, real physics, new layer of AI. Here we go again...23.08.2006
The future of football was unveiled today at the Leipzig Games Convention in Germany
Electronic Arts has revealed the dynamic new engine that will debut in FIFA 07 on the Xbox 360™ system and lead the franchise into the future.
Two years in development, the new engine is the single largest investment EA has ever made in the football business. The engine is poised to redefine the way sports videogames play and feel. A physics-based and data-driven technology, the engine delivers individuality of player movement, authentic athletic motion and an unprecedented level of responsiveness.
“Get ready for the first real next-gen football experience. FIFA 07 on Xbox 360 will deliver athletes that move as fluidly, as realistically and as intuitively as athletes in real life,” said Andrew Wilson, Senior Producer for FIFA 07 at EA. “This engine is the most sophisticated sports technology we’ve ever produced – it gives us the ability to transform football as it is played today but more importantly, it is a dynamic technology that promises to deliver new innovations for years to come.”
The new engine creates a decision-making layer in FIFA 07 that gives each individual player a ’football brain’ - a level of intelligence never before seen in a videogame. Player characteristics are now based on brand-new traits and twice the number of attributes, so no two players move in exactly the same way. Instead, they behave like the individual athletes we see gracing the pitch week-in, week-out.
FIFA 07 allows players to recognize their favorite athletes by the way they move. The human biomechanics of each athlete are taken into account and replicated in the game because the new engine is data-driven -- the player motion is driven by individual attributes, physical characteristics and for the first time, traits.
“The FIFA 07 engine unlocks ultra realistic player motion and delivers complete responsiveness due to its ability to branch animations and the real-time calculation of real human biomechanics. Essentially our software engineers are writing human decision-making code,” said Hugues Ricour, Producer for FIFA 07 on the Xbox 360.
FIFA 07 also introduces new ball physics, a central component to the feel and finesse of a football game. For the first time, the ball is alive with its own independent physics, resulting in truly unpredictable gameplay. Now any type of pass or shot is possible and goals will feel natural and unique.
Bringing the football experience beyond the videogame to truly deliver a complete media package for football fans is the online component to FIFA 07 which streams up-to-the-minute match results via real-time podcasts and news ticker. Nowhere else will football fans find such a comprehensive destination for football stats, information and real-world news.
With this new engine and licenses from the top leagues around the world, FIFA 07 on the Xbox 360 will create the most refined football gameplay experience to date.”
“EA SPORTS is focused on gameplay and online innovations. We believe fans will feel the difference in FIFA 07 on Xbox 360 the first time they pick up the controller,” said Clive Downie, VP, Marketing, EA Europe.
Developed at EA Canada in Vancouver, B.C., the team is composed of football fans hailing from around the world. Drawn from France, England, Japan, Brazil, Russia Australia and beyond, the team may cross 10 different languages but they all speak “football”.

I couldnt get past the realy bad running back and forth and backwards and 10 yards sideways animations..... And noone was even pressuring them.
Ruined it, 07 looks a little better.

I'll be curious about the new engine. As it is, I thought FIFA: WC for the 360 was one of the best sports games of the year...seriously...

That was a really impressive game right up until the match started and I realized that somehow, someway, maybe the result of a practical joke - someone put a large honeydew melon inside the soccer ball. The last time i've seen something fall from the sky like that was last duck season. It's no wonder they re-worked the ball physics.
Memo to EA Canada - Air, not melons.
Somebody knows if WE11 is going to be released after PRoEvolution 6 in Europe?. This game is going to sell a lot of Xbox 360 at least in Spain, where I was this summer and I didn't see a good job from the marketing team. Even in the videogames magazines there was much more information about PS2,PSP, DS, etc news and information than for xbox 360.

Winning Eleven is Pro Evolution. They are released under different names in different parts of the country. As of this fall the name appears to be changing globally to "Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer" (or something like that)
The game is always released in Europe in the fall, followed by a North American release in Jan / Feb.
