WII FIFA 11 - First Screenshots and Gameplay Info

EA have today unleashed the first stills for this year's FIFA 11 on the Wii along with a fact sheet detailing some of the new modes you'll be able to play.

Hit the streets with your favourite players and show you've got the skills to hit the big time in FIFA 11 Wii. Now there are two ways to play: traditional 11 versus 11 matches plus a new street soccer mode. Hit the pitch for a Wii-specific take on customary 11 versus 11 matches with over 30 officially licensed leagues, 500 teams, and more than 15,000 players to choose from. Or, hit the streets to compete in 5 versus 5 street matches with the world's elite players.

FIFA 11 Wii features numerous gameplay enhancements that bring the beautiful game to life on Wii. An all-new attacker vs. defender trick system creates head-to-head battles as you move up the pitch, performing dozens of elaborate new tricks to throw the defender off-balance. The new button-based shooting mechanic puts control back in the users' hands - and with new shot types and animations you'll find all-new ways to score each game. Blast, finesse, chip or tap it by the keeper for the goal that lifts your team to glory!

With the FIFA Street series over and done with, this year's big new mode is titled Hit the Streets, where players will be decked out in street wear and play off against each other in 5 versus 5 matches creating a much more intense gameplay experience. Each player boasts a distinctive style of play with unique abilities to match. Use the wall to jump past defenders or bank passes to teammates. Choose to play arcade style and you can build up and then activate your power meter to blast shots, ignite a speed burst or send shockwaves over your opponents.

Challenge your rivals in the hottest locales around the world, everywhere from Brazil to London to the streets of France. The stage is set for victory with a soundtrack that brings the culture of the area to life. Plus, for the first time on Wii, test your game in an indoor setting. Customize the game to suit your style of play. Choose from different match types, such as first to score, Tug of War or timed, and from a variety of different goals to test your skills, including elevated nets for lofted touch shots, wall goals for continuous action and mini nets to test accuracy.

FIFA 11 is set for release this Autumn on the Wii, with a DS version also in the works.
