FIFA Street, it is probably fair to suggest, does not fancy itself as the English N-Power League Two of football games. Possessing all the grit of an out-of-factory Ferrari, this footballing experience is all about how much bang you can get for your buck. Feints, dribbles, Cryuff-turns, Messi-wessi-decimal-triple-ste p-float-traps and the like are the order of the day, all accompanied by dubstep beats and an attitude problem. FIFA Street is definitely one for the show-offs, the fan-Dans of the hallowed turf, but can it really stand up as a self-respecting football title?
While the future of FIFA 23 remains uncertain, EA could inject life back into the franchise with a new FIFA Street game.

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?
