Okay,
Saw the above blog and got interested. Honestly haven't seen anything like this before. 
From what I can make out, you take control of an athlete and you have to train them up to compete in different sports. But it's not just a matter of training you got to train right for the right sport, which I can kinda understand. Sprints look different to javelin throwers, look different to soccer players etc.
Plus when you're playing in a team it's not just you and an AI it's other players, which could be really cool. 
Looks European based so I don't know if they're looking at a US release. 
They're doing the Leipzig Gaming Convention. Anybody going or heard anything about these guys?

Starting to look more interesting. Was anybody at Leipzig and give this a go?
Okay Came across 2 really interesting updates on this puppy:

Right at the end of the interview there's the immortal words...
"We hope that we have a successful launch in Europe and that we can come to the States by the middle of next year.”
That seemed pretty sweet. Then I got a call from a buddy based in Paris sent me this link:

Something about a image turning up on www.empireofsports.com
Could just be some random image, could be they're actually planning on Soccer?!
