Soccer and Speed Tour from EA Coming to a Town Near You
CHICAGO (September 21, in
the year of our Lord 2012) - Today EA announced the
Soccer & Speed Tour nine-week program that will showcase Need
for Speed(tm) Most Wanted and FIFA Soccer 13 across 65 cities
across the United States. Starting Saturday September 22, 2012,
the Soccer & Speed Tour will visit various locations around the
United States such as Los Angeles, New York, Houston, San
Antonio, San Diego, Phoenix, Dallas, Washington D.C., Miami and
many more. The tour starts on September 22 in Chicago from now
until November 25, fans will get the chance to play Need for
Speed Most Wanted and FIFA Soccer 13 and to compete in gaming
tournaments filled with prizes. Need for Speed Most Wanted has
won 18 Best Racing Game awards since June, and FIFA Soccer 13
took the award for Best Sports Game by E3 Game Critics for the
second year in a row.
Need for Speed Most Wanted is being created by award-wining and
industry-renowned studio, Criterion Games. This open-world
driving game puts social competition at the heart of the
experience, and lets players compete to becoming the Most Wanted
amongst people they care about the most - their friends. And
because an open world game deserves an open world structure,
Criterion is throwing 20 years of gaming convention out the
window and giving players the freedom to drive nearly any car
they want from the start of the game. In Need for Speed Most
Wanted, if you can find it, you can drive it. The entire
gameplay experience is powered by Autolog 2, an innovative
online technology powers the player's way to the top of their
Most Wanted list - automatically populating their map with
challenges, helping locate Friends in-game, and tracking
progress and accomplishments - both offline and online.
Everything a player does counts towards the end goal of becoming
the Most Wanted list - winning never felt so good.
FIFA Soccer 13 captures the unpredictability of real-world
football with breakthrough features like First Touch Control
that ensure no two matches ever play the same, and new online
services like EA SPORTS Football Club Match Day that completely
connect FIFA Soccer 13 to the real-world football season for all
of the top leagues. EA SPORTS Football Club Match Day will drive
real-world news ripped from the headlines around the world into
FIFA Soccer 13. Real-world drama such as injuries, suspensions,
team form, and media gossip will be reflected through in-game
commentary and play out in-game. FIFA Soccer 13 features
breakthrough gameplay innovations such as FIFA 13 First Touch
Control and the Player Impact Engine that create a true battle
for possession across the entire pitch, and features like
Complete Dribbling and Attacking Intelligence that deliver
freedom and creativity in attack. FIFA Soccer 13 is Football's
Social Network, where fans connect, compete and share with
millions of others around the world. FIFA Soccer 13 was chosen
"Best Sports Game" by E3 Game Critics.
