EA Sports well and truly have the magic touch at the moment, and their FIFA football franchise is leading the way. Now finally receiving the critical praise to go with the exceptional sales, FIFA 12 has scored an exceptional 90 overall on Metacritic and by January was the fastest selling sports title of all time; a successful year by anyone's standards. Now, it would be unlike EA to flog a horse once it's bolted so low-and-behold, the FIFA Street franchise, long gone after a slow, painful death (anybody who played cel-shaded incarnation FIFA Street 3 will know exactly what I mean) has resurrected just in time to fill the three month gap before FIFA Euro 2012 is released, which in turn will be three months before big daddy FIFA 13 appears. Is that enough football for you? . . .
While the future of FIFA 23 remains uncertain, EA could inject life back into the franchise with a new FIFA Street game.
While we're at it, can we get rid of NBA Live and get NBA Street Homecourt back? Or NBA Jam?!
I miss the the PS2, GCN and Xbox days. I always preferred the arcade style sports games over the simulation entries. They were more entertaining for me to watch or play. There was a lot more variety back then as well. You had options. Now not so much.
The football season has finally started again, so let's have a look at some of our favourite football games to rediscover some hidden sporting talent.
Another FIFA Street?
