Fifa Street to Launch In-Game Social Network when Game goes on Sale March 13
January 24, in the year of our Lord 2012 – EA
SPORTS™ announced today a new feature in FIFA Street called the
Street Network* that will encourage social competition among
players when the game launches at retail worldwide on March 13,
2012 for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and the
Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system. Through the Street
Network, players will be able to capture video of their best
tricks and share them in-game with friends, showing off their
personal favorites and embarrassing their opponents. In
addition, friends will 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 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.”
The Street Network will enrich the World Tour story mode, where
gamers create a team of friends and compete in a connected world
against other FIFA Street gamers’ 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.
