EA releasing a new edition of every sports title every year is about as sure a thing as Paris Hilton getting smashed and appearing in sex videos, it's just going to happen! So now we have Fifa 2011 and the big question is, whats new? Well so far we know you can play as a goalie in a 11 v 11 match and in the Pro mode I imagine as well...

Little bit of polish and minor updates to visuals but nothing drastic. All new bits are being labeled as 'Personality' features. Lots of cool vids and full details on the official Fifa 2011 website or just check out the trailer below for a taste.

The new dual screen size will be 4.25 inches and pricing available so far is around 20,000 Yen ($220) but we'll let you do the Euro math!
Strange move if you ask us, coming at a time when Sony is reducing it's screen size on the PSP Go and most mobile devices are working their asses off to shed a few pounds! But as we've learned in the past, the one thing the Japanese giant knows for sure is the handheld market...
