?It?s great to be selected in the same list as Ronaldinho and Rooney, especially at a time when the excitement for the World Cup in Germany next year is growing,? said Lukas Podolski.
?All three players have been acknowledged for their exceptional achievements at a very young age. Their inspirational talent makes them the ideal cover stars for our best selling sports game. Like Rooney, Ronaldinho and Podolski, FIFA 06 will be all about reflecting the raw skill and passion of football,? said Clive Downie, VP Marketing EA Sports Europe.
Downie continues, ?To reinforce this year?s release of the game, a multi-national team in Canada has been focused on product development, which will make FIFA 06 a very different proposition, bringing a Total Football experience to the fingertips of gamer?s. It will deliver a combination of attacking gameplay, complete player customisation, pure authenticity and an all-new manager mode - we think football fans are going to like what they see.?
?Gamers will be able to create a star player and customise every aspect of FIFA 06 to fit their individual playing style and preferences. Furthermore, an all new FIFA 06 Lounge and online play will provide gamers with as much football as they want, whenever they want it,? concluded Downie.
