The upcoming FIFA Street will see a new feature called the ‘Street Network’ that EA Sports say was added to encourage social competition among players.
Basically, the Street Network will allow players to capture video of their best tricks and share them in-game with friends. Friends will also be able to track and compare each other’s progress throughout the game, including ‘World Tour’ story mode and ‘Head-to-Head Online Seasons’, and follow each other’s status in EA SPORTS Football Club.
“Street football 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.” – EA Sports.
The Street Network will also broadcast in-game videos like “Goals of the Week”, and alert friends to each other’s accomplishments throughout the game.
The next Fifa Street launches on March 13, 2012 for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. And remember, the caricature art styling that was not very popular with the previous game, has been dropped.
