That'd be Sebastian's call, since he's probably the one that would be coding it, but my advice to him will be to wait a long time. After the EHM 07 experience, 2D match engines scare me. That ate up a ton of Riz's coding time that year, and he had the advantage of working within shouting distance of the FM guys, with years of experience handling their own 2/3D match engines (having Paul Collyer around for advice on that topic is a little like having Scotty Bowman on board to design coaching logic for a hockey game.) We'd need to have cleared just about every other thing off the wish list before I'd want to tackle that.
If I remember it correctly I think Sebastian mentioned elsewhere that if he ever makes 2D/3D engine then it must look realistic.
