[New App] EA Sports Releases Football Club Companion App For FIFA 2013 Console And PC Games

Posted by Jeremiah Rice in Games, News

Here in the States digital jocks tend to obsess over the latest Madden or 2K titles. But pretty much everywhere else, it's all about the soccer action in FIFA. Electronic Arts is well aware of this, so they've bundled the EA Sports Football Club into the full versions of FIFA 2013. The Football Club is a combination fantasy league and digital marketplace. As of now, you don't even need to be playing the game to access it - the new Football Club app is available in both North American and worldwide flavors.

First of all, this app shouldn't be confused with EA's more conventional FIFA game for Android - you'll need a copy of FIFA 2013 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 or PC just to log in.

[New Game] Sega's Football Manager Handheld 2013 Caters To OCD Soccer Fans Everywhere

Posted by Jeremiah Rice in Games, News

With college football nearly over and the NFL ending just a month or so afterwards, pigskin fans are... oh, wait. This is the other kind of football. Sega's Football Manager franchise has long enabled obsessive compulsive soccer fans to live out their somewhat sedate dreams of managing a pro club. It looks like the developer is giving the handheld versions the same yearly release cycle that the console and PC games enjoy - as well as a nice price bump up to $9.99. Hey, it's a business, not a sport.

Leagues from Australia, Belgium, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, and Wales are represented, as well as newcomers from Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Gameloft Releases Real Football 2013 For Android, Available For Free With In-App Purchases

Posted by John Thompson in Games, News

If you're suffering from a bit of FIFA envy, as you wait for the latest version of the world's most popular football game to reach Android, you'll be glad to know that Gameloft has finally released Real Football 2013 (or 'Real Soccer 2013' in the U.S.), and it's available for free from the Play Store.

Last season's version of the game amassed over 5 million downloads, so Gameloft will be hoping that their latest title performs just as well. Like Real Football 2012, the new version contains a number of in-app purchases that can be made to help you progress, so if you spend a lot of time playing the game, you'll probably rack up quite a large bill in the process.

ESPNsoccernet Hits The Play Store, Feeds Your Football Addiction

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Applications, News

Here in the States, we call it soccer. Everywhere else, it's called football (which makes far more sense to me). Regardless of what you call it, though, there's one universal truth: like many other sports fans, soccer/football fans want to stay as up-to-date as possible about what's happening with their sport.

Enter a new app from ESPN called ESPNsoccernet that helps you do just that. It offers a pretty extensive set of features for the football/soccer-lover:

Comprehensive football coverage. The latest football news and features, as well as live scores, commentary, Gamecast, match stats, fixtures and results, league tables, player and club profiles.

EA Releases FIFA '12 And NBA Jam To The Play Store, Lets You Get Your Sports Fix On Your Mobile

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Games, News

Here in the States, we call it soccer, which actually makes little sense. Our neighbors across the pond have a more accurate term for the game, however: football. To be honest, I'm not really sure where the crossing of terms came into play, but football in the U.S. is definitely not the same game as football in other countries. Regardless of what you call it, EA just released a new game for all who love the thought of kicking a ball into a net: FIFA 2012.

FIFA '12 brings everything you love about soccer (football) directly to your mobile device, including 22 officially licensed, playable teams and more than 15,000 players, controls schemes that let you handle your players with precision, and 360° player movement.

Mobile gaming giant Gameloft has released yet another new title to the Android Market, and this time it's a soccer simulator: Real Soccer 2012. The game packs impressive graphics and customization options, and is even licensed by FIFPRO - meaning real players and leagues are used. Perhaps one of the most impressive features, though, is the ability to replay real-life games through an in-game news feed.

The official market description:

Last Updated: October 3rd, 2011

Football. The "beautiful game" full of highs and lows, drama and controversy, near misses and outright blunders. Americans call it soccer, but in England, where we have the best leagues in the world and the best fans to match, we know better than that.

It's only right, then, that we have a great Android application to match all of the football that goes on week-in-week-out, and thanks to the Football League Clubs' App, we may have just that!

The Football League app has been available for the iPhone since the start of last season, offering users a range of news, team player profiles and video content.
