EA announced today that FIFA 09, much like NBA Live 09, will be updated constantly with ratings and performance data in a system known as the adidas Live Season.
Unlike NBA Live 09, which updates daily, FIFA 09 will update on a weekly basis. The updated data will be available for England's Premiership, Spain's La Liga, France's Ligue 1, Germany's Bundesliga, Italy's Serie A, and Mexico's Primera Division. The updates will be made available for PS3, 360, and the PC.
EA promises that a "global network of scouts" will be monitoring players in their respective leagues and adjusting attributes on a weekly basis; what's interesting, though, is that the service might have a fee. EA notes that gamers "…will have access to one league of their choice for a free trial from the moment they activate it to the end of the 2008-2009 season", which certainly implies that receiving updates for all leagues would incur fees.
In addition, EA also announced that they'd acquired an exclusive licensing agreement with Spain's La Liga to implement their teams and players in their games.
Stay tuned to IGN for more details on FIFA 09 and how Live Season will be integrated in.
