EA Sports have confirmed that the former England midfielder will be added to the game’s roster when gamers download the latest FIFA 12 squad update.
We here at Bettor.com are constantly on the lookout for any kind of news that would excite gamers of all genres and in the process we rely on multiple resources to bring the best gaming news from the industry.
One of those sources is the popular social networking site, Twitter, where a number of video game developers and publishers keep their followers (us included) up to date and every so often one gets a bit of news that brings a smile to everyone’s face; though in this case it might bring a frown on a greater number.
@EASPORTSFIFA is the official Twitter page of the FIFA series, where they share all the updates of the game and answer fans questions. A number of competitions are also held and every now and then exclusive content is dropped such as the announcement of FIFA Street.
This time around EASPORTSFIFA made an ‘indirect’ announcement, one that will light up the hearts of Manchester United fans all over the world. The page retweeted @RomilyBroad’s tweet which read:
“Confirmed: Paul Scholes will return to Man Utd (Manchester United) in the 23 Feb roster update.” However, there was a catch as it continued, “Not for FUT (FIFA Ultimate Team) tho (though) unfortunately. Different database.”
For those who do not know, the original tweet belonged to Romily Broad who describes himself as, “Senior community dude for the EA SPORTS FIFA series.”
So the fact of the matter is that this news is legit. However, it does raise a number of questions as to whether Paul Scholes will be given the same attention of graphical detail as was given to the other superstars in the game, or whether he will just be another standard modelled player.
Chances are that with the size of United’s fan base, EA will be putting a fair amount of effort into recreating Scholes for the latest iteration of FIFA 12.
But what does the reader think, will they even play Paul Scholes in midfield when he is joins the roster in FIFA 12 or not even bother with the United legend?
Let us know in the comments section below.
