Story of the Finals Introduced in World Cup

Today EA Sports announced a new feature that will be offered in 2010 FIFA World Cup. Known as “The Coca-Cola Zero Story of the Finals” it will provide gamers with the opportunity to play out free downloadable scenarios that have taken place in the World Cup. It sounds similar to the “Rewind” feature in NBA Live but the press release doesn’t go into detail on ways it may be different or more expansive than that.

The hopes and dreams of nations will rise and fall throughout the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final and within hours after the real matches have occurred our development team will re-create the storylines in our game and provide fans the opportunity to replay and, perhaps, change the outcome — virtually.

The Coca-Cola Zero Story of the Finals will enable gamers connected online to play real matches from the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final and face the same challenges their heroes experienced throughout the tournament. The free service complements an existing game mode called The Coca-Cola Zero Story of Qualifying which enables gamers to relive moments from the 2010 qualifying campaign and the 2006 FIFA World Cup(TM) Finals through over 50 scenario-based challenges.
