“I’ve always been a fan of EA SPORTS and especially the FIFA series,” Kaka, the man himself, said. “Being on the FIFA 11 cover is a great honor for me since very few players have this opportunity, and there have been some great footballers featured on the cover of this truly amazing football game.”

Matt Bilbey, Vice President of the FIFA team at EA Sports says, “He perfectly illustrates a new feature in FIFA 11 called Personality+ that sees a player’s individual ability reflected in game, enabling clear differentiation for every player.

“With Kaka’s visionary style of football he’s always one step ahead of the opposition, moving into space with an often subtle change of pace and delivering crisp, creative one-touch passes and catching the goalkeepers off guard with strikes often from distance on either foot.

“His play is unlike any other player in our game and you will feel individual differences like this in each player, in every match.”

Here’s the trailer, which shows Kaka walking out into the pitch to a roaring rowdy crowd.

The Career Mode (pictured below), according to EA Sports’ blog, will see the life of a player as a footballer, a player-manager and a manager.

The all new transfer system of the game will ‘bring the ups and downs of the transfer window to life.’ The new calender system will make it ‘easier to plan your career, manage your squad or experience the thrill of breaking your way into the first team.’

Players that are created through the all new Creation Center will be usable in the Career Mode, and using the all new friends’ leaderboards, we will be able to see how we rank against our friends in terms of statistics and Career earnings.

An EA rep wrote on their blog recently, and reported that they are playing through an early build of the Career Mode, and are currently in the Player-Manager state. 

‘So far it is a big change from FIFA 10,’ they say. ‘Things seem a lot slicker and refinements in a number of areas are definitely noticeable… The transfer system is now a two-stage negotiation where you agree a fee with the club in question and then have to agree terms with the player themselves.

‘The calendar now has a daily view and will stop progressing if there is an important action happening such as an email from a team interested in buying your player or something from the Board. You can easily see when the cup matches are, friendlies, international matches and your standard league matches.’
