I'm very excited with this news. I hope it's more decent than the other ones a few years back! It's made by a local company called Big Ant Studios and will be published by a biggeer company. No release date has been said of yet, but pre-season of 2011 is the likely time frame.
I'll keep updating this post with info.

Feature List curtesy of Big Footy:
- Every player of every team has been photographed and modelled.
- In the game the face, eyes, etc.. are animated.
- Controls : there are Torpedo's, stabs, snap kicks etc.. taps in the ruck, punches - mongrels will generally happen when you do something that doesn't make sense given the position on field, power of the kick, on the run (or not)
- Handball can be to a player directly or to space - the trajectory is dealt with by the system - there are "look aways" and over the head handballs.
- Have implemented a control mechanism for both handball and kicks that players can choose to "lock" to a team mate, allowing for strafing and drawing the opposition.
- Hoping the novice will be able to pick it up and play but that others will get more depth through "modifiers" we've put in there, eg. triggers/shoulder buttons for stab passes, torp's, strength of tap/punch in the ruck and so on.
- Bouncing the ball can be manual or automatic (default). Will not bounce while sprinting. (Will get pinged if you run too far).
- The grounds - they have all been licensed. Real MCG, SCG, etc... and they look *real*!
- Marking: Contested Pack Marking will be a contest. Players will hit up/honor leads.
- Crowd/Atmosphere - Crowd is in team colours, there are flags and the old "floggers" made out of paper.
- There is more home crowd than away, based on interstate or not. There isn't booing.
- Heritage rounds, ANZAC day etc... are all in there.
- Dennis Cometti to do the commentary (Will be more then just Dennis)
- Players individual attributes will be at play, including distance/accuracy, fitness, etc... ie Fev will find it easier to kick from outside 50 than Judd.
- Fully Licensed Game, only licensed product will be in the game, ie, all jumpers/logos shall be those that are currently under license.
- Dynamic Weather: Rain, sunshine, even shadows of clouds going accross the ground.
