FIFA Street release date announced

By Fred Dutton Published 24 January, 2012

Plus, Street Network feature detailed.

Showboating footie sim FIFA Street leaves the dressing room on 13th March for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, EA has announced.

The publisher also seized the moment to unveil the game's new Street Network feature, that lets you record clips of yourself showing off and then share them with friend in-game.

It also allows you to keep track of friends' progress through the game, and will broadcast regular community clips, such as goal of the week.

"Street soccer is all about the one-on-one battle, when you pull off a trick to roast your opponent," commented producer Sid Misra.

"The Street Network brings that real-world swagger into the game by enabling players to capture video of those moments and share them with everyone in their street network to see, and providing friends with a way to compare each other throughout the game."

It's the first outing for the franchise since the underwhelming FIFA Street 3 stumbled onto shelves back in 2008.

    It's simply not appealing anymore...even back then I had a hard time enjoying it. Despite of the fact that BACK THEN this whole street footbal was popular because of super soccer stars like Ronaldo etc. These times are over now and so is Fifa Street.

    Loved the first two when i was younger, always trying to earn those gamebreakers! If they knock it back to those then i may buy it, but if its like the last one then its gunna be shit :/

    Looks like a 5-a-side + tricks mode that would be better included with the main FIFA game or sold at a lower price point as a downloadable title on PSN/XBLA I reckon. Not sure that I'd pay full whack for a game that is so fundamentally shallow.

    What? Doesn't sound anything like football to me.

    I always wanted to like the Street game series. Used to rent them from Blockbusters (who?) back in the day. Thought NBA Street was pretty fun but, to me, they all just get so boring after a match or two. So sadly I already have no interest in this either.

    Also, like Darren said, a 5-a-side trick mode - and maybe indoor matches - in the actual yearly FIFA game would be great.
