GOODISON GETS IN THE GAME
Friday Aug 16, 2013
Friday Aug 16, 2013
Goodison Park will make its gaming debut in FIFA 14, after Everton
penned a new two-year deal to secure EA SPORTS™ as the Club’s official
gaming partner until the end of the 2014/15 season.
The
announcement follows on from a successful partnership with the sports
entertainment brand over the past two years, and the inclusion of
Everton’s iconic stadium in the latest version of FIFA 14 is a prominent
feature of the deal.
EA SPORTS committed to featuring Goodison
in its most lifelike format in the popular football video game and paid a
visit earlier this year to capture the all-important details of one of
the oldest football grounds in the world.
Dan Holman, Head of UK
Product Marketing, EA SPORTS said: “We’re delighted to extend our
partnership with Everton and especially to be adding Goodison Park to
the stadium roster in FIFA 14. This will ensure fans will get a
completely authentic experience. We look forward to working closely with
the club over the next two years.”
Everton’ s Commercial
Director Dave Biggar said: “We’re delighted that EA SPORTS are once
again joining our portfolio of official partners – and even more so that
Goodison will make its debut in FIFA 14. The game is hugely popular so
we have no doubt that Evertonians will be looking forward to playing
inside the stadium, even if it is in a virtual sense!”
Not only
will Evertonians be able to enjoy playing in the home of the Blues in
their virtual world, their favourite stars will be more realistic than
ever in the new game.
Everton’s first team line-up underwent a
360-degree 3D digital head scan at the Club’s training ground so that EA
SPORTS could make their virtual counterparts as lifelike as possible.
And
supporters will be able to try out the brand-new Everton features at
Goodison Park during the 2013/14 campaign when the popular EA SPORTS
Dugout makes a return.
The special unit, which features two large
dugout-style seats and contains Xbox 360 game consoles, and iPads,
proved popular with Evertonians last season and will be back at Goodison
Park for selected fixtures throughout the 2013/14 campaign – starting
with the home game against Newcastle United on Monday 30 September.
Members
of the first team will also be able to try out the game when the dugout
pays a visit to Finch Farm to host this season’s Pro-Player Tournament.
Last season Shane Duffy emerged as the FIFA 13 champion after a
hotly-contested tournament with Seamus Coleman, Darron Gibson and Victor
Anichebe.
As part of the partnership, a special Everton FIFA 14
cover will be available for supporters to download for free when the
game is launched on Friday 27 September. A very limited-edition game
with a wrapped Everton sleeve will be also be available to buy in store
at Everton One or Everton Two and online at evertondirect.com.
