FIFA 13 to include new in-game rewards program and new app for iPhone & iPod touch

EA has announced that a new rewards program introduced into FIFA 13 will enhance the experience for members of the EA Sport Football Club, and a new EA Sports Football Club app for iPhone and iPod touch will keep the fans connected to their FIFA experiences and to their friends.

This year within EA Sport Football Club, returning FIFA 12 players will carry their Football Club Level and XP into FIFA 13 so their season starts as strong as it finishes. They’ll also receive a special bonus in the new EA Sports Football Club Catalogue. Fans will now be earning Football Club Credits to unlock items such as kits, special celebrations, virtual pro attribute boosts, Career Mode super scout credits, FIFA 13 Ultimate Team coin boosts, and extra matches in Head-to-Head Seasons mode from the Catalogue. Plus, fans can build their status among the massive FIFA online community as they climb 100 levels.

For the first time, players will be able to directly share their FIFA experience with their friends on Facebook through EA Sports Football Club. Fans will be able to share custom messages with friends and publish their recent news, including games won, players signed, or items redeemed in the Catalogue, directly from their console.

The new EA Sports Football Club app will keep fans connected to FIFA anywhere, anytime. At launch, fans will have access to their EA Sports Football Club identity and friends, and the app will extend the FIFA 13 Ultimate Team console experience. Through the app, fans will be able to search the live auctions and bid to win new players for building their ultimate team of the world’s best players in FIFA 13.

For the millions of fans who play FIFA on the go, FIFA 13 on iPad and iPhone will enable players to earn rewards, level up, enjoy live challenges, and connect with friends through one common Football Club identity. The same Football Club features will be coming to Android later in the year.

FIFA 13 will be available in stores world-wide this fall for the PlayStation 3 with PlayStation Move support, Xbox 360 with Kinect, PlayStation Vita, Wii, PC, PlayStation 2, Nintendo 3DS, and PSP, as well as on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Android.
