EA will be including support for Sony's Move controller in next year's footy sim, FIFA 13.
Thinking ahead? Read our most-wanted list of FIFA 13 features - and give us your own.
The announcement came - and swiftly passed - almost as if to be a last-minute 'me too' response to confirmation last week that FIFA 13 will be Kinect-compatible.
FIFA lead producer David Rutter was quoted saying: "Since the Kinect came out, or the very first announcement almost two years ago, we've been asked, 'Will you have Kinect support?', and we've always said, 'Not until we can get something cool and makes sense working'."
He added: "Now that's the case and that's going to be next year, so it's just a case of finishing that off now."
So, motion controlled footy all round next year then. This should be interesting.

Hope it isn't too move concentrated, I generally buy fifa once every two years and 13 is one i should buy unless it has its focus elsewhere on the move aspect.

PES for the Wii was fantastic with the new controls,It lacked the audio visual polish of the other consoles but the point and pass system was a revelation. If FIFA on PS3 uses a similar method,it could just be the best footy game ever,EVER!

See the post above yours Mister 666, it has already been tried with astonishing success on the Wii. Something similar with Move makes this a game to keep an eye on.

Move support on FIFS? It's your own time you're wasting.

Agreed, FIFS is a blatant rip off. Now Move support on Fifa? That's a good idea!
