EA Sports has confirmed FIFA 11 with the developer promising to "redefine player authenticity."

Yesterday we detailed the first pieces of information regarding the next title in the award winning series and now EA Sports has explained the new features in more detail.

The player personality model, which will give players unique traits and behaviour styles on the pitch has been named Personality+ and will use 36 attributes and 57 traits to create a world of unique players.

"Personality+ is the evolution of individual distinctiveness that sees a footballer's abilities on the pitch mirrored authentically in our game, creating individual personalities in FIFA 11," said executive producer Kaz Makita.

Real Madrid and Brazil's Kaka will produce "crisp, creative poasses" while the likes of center back Giorgio Chiellini will hassle strikers and anticipate when to put his body on the line to block a shot.

He added, "We have reached a level of sophistication within our game engine where footballers in our game will behave and perform as true individuals."

One of the main additions to FIFA 11 is the brand new passing mechanic, which rewards and punishes players depending on how much power and placement they try to put on a pass.

The control pad will determine the majority of the passing accuracy while variables such as the urgency of a pass and the player's skill all produce different outcomes.

FIFA 11 has so far been confirmed for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and will launch this fall.
