EA Sports have announced a partnership with English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur for FIFA 13. As part of this initiative, 3D head scans of the players due to be taken of the players while they are in New York on their tour of America, allowing higher-quality and authentic 3D player models for the game to be made. Here is an example of one such model, for Gareth Bale:

This partnership also means that EA will also add in a range of initiatives to entertain Spurs fans, including exclusive videos featuring their players, the ability for fans to predict match outcomes using the FIFA game engine and exclusive footage from the club's training ground to determine which player in the best in the squad.

EA will also release a special Tottenham Hotspur game packaging sleeve for FIFA 13, which will be available to download from the club's website prior to the launch of the game.

Tottenham are the 8th English Premier League side to have become partners with EA Sports, with the others being Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Everton, Fulham, Newcastle, and Manchester City.

FIFA 13 is due to release September 28th of this year.

Though I'm not a spurs fan, I have to admit, in Fifa 12 the model of Gareth Bale was quite... interesting let's hope the 3D head scans make him look more realistic.

Theyre on about 3D head scans and they show one screenshot of him looking at the ball anyways. While it may be a good example of how to strike a ball (head down, foot follows through) that is the worst screenshot to highlight this news

As an Arsenal fan who wasnt 100% sure about buying this game this isnt an incentive to buy the game!
