FIFA Street (2012 video game)

FIFA Street (2012 video game) is a street football video game developed by EA Canada and published by Electronic Arts. It was released in March 2012 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. This installment represents a reboot of the FIFA Street series, departing from the more arcade-style gameplay of previous entries and aiming for a more realistic and authentic street football experience.

The game features a variety of gameplay modes, including: Panna Rules (scoring by nutmegging opponents), Last Man Standing (losing players with each goal scored), and traditional 5v5 matches. It emphasizes skill moves, trickery, and individual flair. The game also incorporates "Street Challenges," allowing players to progress through a single-player career mode and unlock new locations and players.

FIFA Street (2012) utilizes the FIFA gameplay engine of the time, providing a foundation of realistic ball physics and player movements. However, it augments this with a new "Street Ball Control" system designed to enhance responsiveness and precision in dribbling and skill execution. The game also allows for customizable player appearance and kits.

The soundtrack of FIFA Street (2012) features a diverse selection of music from various genres, reflecting the global appeal and cultural influences of street football. The game received mixed to positive reviews, with critics praising the improved gameplay and realism compared to previous entries, but also noting some repetitive elements and a lack of innovation in certain areas.
