EA Sports head Peter Moore has announced on his company blog that the label will be bringing FIFA Superstars to Facebook. The game is being created by social games developer Playfish, which EA purchased for a cool $300 million last fall. Earlier this year, the Wall Street Journal reported that the developer was working with a "well-known EA brand" for social networking platforms, and FIFA would certainly qualify as that project (despite The Sims being the best guess at the time).
Moore didn't offer up any concrete details about FIFA Superstars' gameplay in his post, but did comment that additional information would be coming "soon." Seeing as how the World Cup kicks off in just a month, on June 11, it's reasonable to assume we'll hear more from Moore on the topic before then.

I don't think Facebook is great at all. Instead of someone calling you to talk to you and see what's up, they just post a f**king facebook message saying.
"Hey, I'm going to be a such-and-such tonight, come on out!"
It's called a social networking site, but it's really as anti-social as it gets, from my viewpoint.

LOL. That pretty much sums it up, Alex. I am now playing FIFA Online, currently in closed beta, and it rocks! It is equal or superior to the console version. Supposedly it will be 100% free when it launches. If this is the case, who needs this lame Facebook version. (Now that I think of it, who needs the console or even PC boxed version?)
