There's no way FIFA Street could have merely been an additional mode in FIFA Soccer 12. The latter takes to the conventional styles of soccer, where setting up plays and well-timed crosses are the keys to victory. The former focuses on "the beautiful game," where one player juggles a ball around with blinding grace, tricking an opponent into moving one direction while taking the ball in the other.

FIFA Street utilizes the Player Impact Engine found in FIFA 12, which relies more heavily on the physics of players and the ball instead of using only animations. It's a good starting point for a game that, compared to other FIFA titles, spotlights soccer tricks more than ever. The end result, however, turns into a "FIFA lite" of sorts, with shoddy action frighteningly reminiscent of the problematic FIFA 12 demo.

Most people make do with one football game a year. They dutifully buy their copy of FIFA or PES every autumn, and it merrily tides them over for the next 12 months. But EA firmly believes that the marketplace can support more than one football game. Why not? Consumers regularly buy more than one fir...

Some people find FIFA forbidding. I've played games with them. I've patiently expounded on the relative benefits of a lobbed pass with backspin, and gazed upon their bemused faces. They want to dribble with the ball at speed, ghosting past defenders with dextrous footwork, but in FIFA such tricks are a dangerous luxury. Attempt them in a match and it's more likely that you will embarrass yourself, not your opponent...

EA Sports has drafted Lionel Messi to be the face of its FIFA franchise, first set to appear on the cover of FIFA Street when it launches in March 2012.

Messi plays for Barcelona, is 24 years old, was drafted out of Argentina at 16 and has scored more than 200 goals in his professional career -- he's kind of a soccer superhero, which makes his photo (left) on the cover of FIFA Street disappointingly lackluster. Especially when this is an alternative.

Messi has signed a multi-year endorsement contract with EA Sports, so there will be plenty of opportunities for more action-packed game covers, probably featuring him screaming at something.

#fifa When EA Sports previously did Street versions of established sports, the interpretations usually focused on creating a cartoony cousin to the experience players already knew. So, NBA Street got four-point gamebreakers, NFL Street had its wall-running and previous iterations of FIFA Street featured outrageous juggles and beat tricks. More »

Announced at EA's Gamescom 2011 press conference, FIFA Street has narrowed its launch window from early 2012 to "March." VG247 reports that EA announced the month of kickoff at last night's FIFA 12 launch event in the UK. Copies of FIFA 12 also reportedly have a pamphlet inside the box mentioning the March date.

Not a whole lot is known about the FIFA Street reboot. We know EA Sports Season Ticket holders will receive early access to the full game, and that it features the EA Football Club, along with social network goodies. We expect to find out a lot more after EA Sports gets its biggest sports franchise out the door globally.

EA's Gamescom 2011 keynote has already brought about one intriguing bit of news about the revival of its more palatable, outrageous sports franchises: FIFA Street. Coming to PS3 and 360 early next year, the EA Canada-developed title will bring back the rough-and-tumble action of the original series, with the depth of the later installments in FIFA Prime. In fact, it might possess more depth -- according to EA, it will feature "twice as many moves as FIFA 12."

The game will also feature the suite of EA Football Club features first announced at E3 this year, among other, unspecified social networking features. EA Sports Season Ticket holders will also get early (temporary) access to the full game, should they choose to accept it. Keep an eye out for the game's debut trailer in the coming hours.
