I love soccer and my problem with this game is the idea of over showing. I know how to play soccer and I understand good strategy , if someone juggled in front of my I would stand there than attack. I want to try this game but at the same time this game seem foolish

I guess I'm one of the few that liked the original Fifa Street games... as broken as they were (seriously, just volly down the pitch and you have an instant goal), the trick system is sooooo satisfying. I would say more satisfying that NBA Jams's Dunks.

Fifa sells more and makes far more money for them post release than their other sport franchises.

I don't see how it is a surprise.

Dear EA,

Please bring back NBA Street with the all the player specific/signature dribbles, dunks and throws, the Volume 2 vibe and music, with all the legends and with breakable boards this time.

Bring back in Def Jam Vendetta and Def Jam Fight For NY in HD.

Also bring back the Knockout Kings , because Fight Night is just too boring

This is AWESOME, what a improvement over FIfa Street 3. I might have to give Fifa 12 and BF3 a rest and play some of this before ME3 comes out. Man I just realized EA is making some sick games and has direct access to my wallet. Anyone know if this will have online clubs?

I am not a big sports fan, and prefer football (as in FIFA) over basketball, but even I have to say that one of the games I enjoyed the most this generation was NBA Street Homecourt. I'd buy a new one.

I always hoped that NBA Jam was EA testing the waters for the return of NBA Street. Now with SSX out and this one on the way, it's looking more and more hopeful.

@hxcaleb: Same here.... NFL tour just wasn't it, sadly this all was around the time the NFL was trying as hard as possible to get the thug mentality people had about the NFL to disappear, so NFL street probably may never be seen again. Anyways they probably feel like Blitz fills that hole.

Also um..... why did they take everything that made FIFA Street, and all street games, out of this game?

you must be really bored to look at a fifa street trailer under the premise that you already feel the sport is boring.

Well Fifa is to EA what Call of Duty is to Activision. It's their most profitable and highest selling annual release.

http://fifasoccerblog.com/blog/tag/sales-figures/

over 10 million sales of fifa 12 and 100 million projected from Ultimate Team which outside of development costs and their servers is pure profit gravy.

But they really should do a new Def Jam or Street Football/basketball game next since that's where the real business opportunities lie.

Not on Fifa Street a sequel to a 4 year old game. To follow up the fastest selling sports game in history, Fifa 12.

"Does anyone want to kick the ball around later"

Ugh, who says that? Is this UK football culture through the lens of Canadians?

I'd be willing to give this a try, but until this point the only decent five-a-side game FIFA has managed were the indoor pitch levels on FIFA 98.

Ive always wanted a realistic futsal game. the tricks are nice but to me 5v5 soccer is more about good passing and movement.

If you want a new nba street then make your views known to ea. Seem's they're mining their back catalogue for remakes or new Ideas. I think well see a new road rash game next.

Does soccer ever work on concrete with all the dives and falls players make? That must suck for the goalie.

I too would also like to have NBA/NFL Street back, I think? EA makes me nervous right now.

Reminds me though. When my brother's house got robbed, they took all his consoles, his entire game collection, perennials-- everything. The only thing they left of his was a copy of FIFA laying out on a table. I always found that hilarious.

I thought the "Street" series was supposed to be like EA's NBA Jam sort of deal, where it was over the top and kind of arcadey?
 
This just looks like another bland sports game. They could just as easily put this in to the regular FIFA releases and I don't think anybody would bat an eyelash.

@LooseChange: Yeah sure just depends where you live I guess - I assume that the reason it may not be in the USA is because it just isn't part of culture or everyday life like it is in Britain. I live in South London and play small football matches on hard or concrete courts almost everyday.

Huge FIFA fan but not sure what to make of this. I'm becoming less interested in these contrived games in favour of more realism, more organic experiences. Just a personal preference I guess but I think in general among most of the gamers that I know.

The FIFA Street's have never been very street. There's always been a stiffness to them compared to the other EA Big franchises. And it still looks like FIFA has a stick up its ass. Hoping the inevitable NBA Street reboot doesn't follow the same path.
