You build a self-styled team (from designing the kits to the choosing the team crest to creating players or importing them from FIFA 12) and take it around the world in a series of 20 street soccer challenges. The World Tour is the heart of FIFA Street. Match versions available at 2 on 2 Panna, Futsal, 5 on 5 and Last Man Standing. There are three games modes in FIFA Street - Exhibition, World Tour and Online.Įxhibition mode is a great place to start as you can play as any team from MLS, the English Premier League, Italian Serie A, German Bundesliga, Spanish La Liga or French Ligue 1 to learn the game’s features and practice its many skills moves. After all, there are no commentators in street football.
This comes across loud and clear given that the formal commentary of FIFA is absent. In the case of the latter, you’ll hear players calling for the ball or advising you to shoot in the accents associated with their nationalities. These include car parks, basketball courts and Futsal courts with vivid details from cracks on the playing surface to low-rebound wire fences.Ī few of nice new touches to FIFA Street are the option to use authentic match kits for club teams (such as all of the English Premier League and Spanish La Liga) and players speaking during matches. Meanwhile, FIFA Street’s whooping 35 game courts look much like those frequently by soccer players searching for a runout in urban environments around the world. Players look just as they do in FIFA 12 while the menu system is reminiscent of those seen in FIFA since it debuted on the current generation of gaming consoles. However, the 2012 incarnation of FIFA Street is much tamer. Nothing was wrong with this as it was a trademark of the EA Sports Big Street games and was what we had come to enjoy at the time. Players were cartoonesque representations of the world’s best and menus were graffitized. When we last saw FIFA Street in 2008 with FIFA Street 3, it was flashy and in your face. Here is what we thought of FIFA 12’s showboating little brother. Over the past week, we’ve been immersed in the world of FIFA Street on the PlayStation 3. While the previous generation of the game was developed by the team at EA Sports Big (makers of games such the NBA Street and SSX series), the new FIFA Street (available at ) was made by the Vancouver-based team that brings us the annual installments of the much-acclaimed FIFA series.
A good time alternative to the FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer simulation in the 2000s, EA Sports FIFA Street is back after a four-year absence with a reboot of the franchise.
