Steven Gerrard signs up for Real Football 2007
And he'll be joined by Patrick Vieira and Carlos Puyol
Stevie G better watch out. When Gameloft signed up Djibril Cisse to be the cover star of last year's Real Football game, his reward was a broken leg and a police caution for common assault.
Could Gerrard go the same way this year? Hopefully not, but at least he can share the curse around – Gameloft has also signed up Patrick Vieira and Carlos Puyol for Real Football 2007, which comes out next month.
Other than that, the publisher hasn't released specific details about new features in the game itself, apart from hinting that it may have been overhauled to appeal more to casual gamers.
"This new game was especially designed to excite all football fans, not just those who play football video games or are avid video game players," says Karine Kaiser, marketing deputy director at Gameloft.
The series has sold more than three million downloads in its lifetime, and last year's edition is still one of our favourite mobile footy titles, albeit now facing stern competition from EA Mobile's FIFA 07
