It's not clear if it will be the same version on Xbox 2 as on Xbox/PS2, but nothing seems to indicate otherwise.
If so EA is taking the whole "port" thing to the next level.. PS2 graphics on Xbox 2!

- Producing games for the coming console platforms will be very challenging, both from a knowledge and financial perspective. This new contract shows that Digital Illusions is on the right path, integrating towards the next generation of hardware, said Patrick Söderlund, CEO at Digital Illusions.

The contract is for development of a game for Microsoft’s and Sony’s platforms Xbox and Playstation 2, as well as for their upcoming consoles. The game concept is developed and owned by Digital Illusions.
