FIFA Street to Launch In-Game Social Network
Yes! We needed another one of those.
Published: January 24, 2012
When FIFA Street launches on March 13, it will come with a little more than just the game. The Street Network will allow players to capture videos of their best tricks and share them with in-game friends. In addition, friends will be able to track and compare progress throughout the game, including World Tour story mode and head-to-head online matches. Of course, the EA Sports Football Club will also have a presence.
“Street soccer is all about the one-on-one battle, when you pull off a trick to roast your opponent,” said producer Sid Misra. “The Street Network brings that real-world swagger into the game by enabling players to capture video of those moments and share them with everyone in their street network to see, and providing friends with a way to compare each other throughout the game.”
With the Street Network, World Tour mode will allow players to create a team of friends and compete in a connected world against other teams. Players will be able to follow each other’s status as they build their squads, unlock new tricks, and progress through the story of their journey to street soccer glory. Players will be able to share and compare progress with friends directly in the Street Network and it will also broadcast in-game videos like “Goals of the Week”, and alert friends to each other’s accomplishments throughout the game.
Don't forget that if you pre-order now you will get access to the All-Star Adidas Team. The pre-order will also give access to the Lionel Messi Barcelona venue, an environment inspired by street players in and around the Plaça de Catalunya in the historic center of Barcelona, that Messi helped design. If you happen to have EA Sports Season Ticket then take note that you will have digital access to the game three days in advance of launch.
