EA Sports has two major cash cows over the past decade and a half: FIFA and Madden, and now EA has announced that lifetime sales of FIFA have reached 100 million units. FIFA games have been around for 18 years with annual iterations, plus tournament FIFAs like World and Euro Cups, not to mention FIFA Manager. To celebrate the event, EA has released a free DLC for FIFA 11 called Ultimate Team, which is now available for download.

EA has proudly announced that the latest iteration in their soccer franchise, FIFA 11, has sold 2.6 million copies, making it the fastest selling sports game of all time. EA says the sales are a 30% improvement over last year’s FIFA, and that it already has grossed an estimated $150 million.

Finally, after years of wait, players will be able to play 11 vs 11 online, in what will most likely be the biggest uncoordinated pile of soccer ever. But having 11 players also means that two unfortunate players will have to play as goalies. FIFA 11 is coming next month across all platforms.

EA Sports has announced that the latest installment in their yearly FIFA franchise, FIFA 11, has received a firm release date: September 11 in North America and October 1 in Europe and Asia.

When the first Project Natal promotional video hit the scene it featured a clip where two people were playing a soccer game using the technology’s motion-sensing. At that point, it was just a vision but now it seems it may be closer to reality.

When asked if motion-sensing would be incorporated into EA’s FIFA 11, the series’ producer said that it is possible. On the flip side, David Rutter, exec over at EA, was quoted to have said that no, the technology won’t be incorporated. So, which one is it?

Don’t get this confused with the soon-to-be-released FIFA 10 as that title has been confirmed to not utilize either Project Natal or the Playstation Motion Controller.

FIFA 10 will be out for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Wii, among others, on October 2nd, 2009.
