EA Sports has today confirmed that it will launch its previously unannounced EA Sports Fantasy Football game on July 21. In conjunction with Stats, the world's leading sports information provider, EA plans to offer a variety of Web-based fantasy football experiences spanning the 2004-2005 season.

　　"We're taking EA Sports fun, competition and quality to another level by bringing fantasy football to our online EA Sports fans," said Chip Lange, vice president of EA Sports Nation. "We're challenging all comers--you think you know football, every week, now prove it; EA Sports style."

　　Fantasy Football players can pay a $9.99 entrance fee to compete in public leagues against the rest of the community, or, for $99.99, they can have the option to become the commissioner of their own league--customizing the rules and scoring systems for up to 32 team owners.

　　All subscribers will have the opportunity to take part in a weekly "Pick'em Game" to win EA Sports prizes. The game will basically require players to accurately predict winning teams, and, in addition to winning prizes, they'll be able to see how well they're doing in comparison to other players on a worldwide leaderboard.
