Let’s face it, soccer is a big deal. Well it’s a big deal everywhere except for the United States, and it shows in sales since FIFA is EA’s top-selling franchise, beating out even the Madden franchise.

This years FIFA 11 introduces gamers the Personality+, a feature that will have players perform and behave like their real-life counterpart.

“Personality+ is the evolution of individual distinctiveness that sees a player’s abilities on the pitch mirrored authentically in our game, creating individual personalities in FIFA Soccer 11,” said Executive Producer Kaz Makita. “We have reached a level of sophistication within our game engine where players in our game will behave and perform as true individuals.”

Personality+ does this by differentiating every individual player by using data collected that evaluates and grades their skill-set of over 36 attributes and 57 traits. The data is collected by 1,700 scouts, editors and reviewers all around the world. Just imagine the future of gaming if they can also add personality traits like when a player would pick a fight, flirt with cheerleaders, or cheat.

FIFA 11 will be out for the PS3 and Xbox 360 Fall 2010.
