This is a mode that has been within the series since the beginning and its nice to see it make a return.This demo doesn't require a modified console and isn't console locked. There is a decent campaign mode that allows you to create a ragtag team and swap them out for the worlds elite with your created player in the line up.
The one saving grace is the characature versions of the footballers available in the game is a nice touch that sets it apart from the original FIFA series. This was fine in the mid-2000s and perhaps they were trying to achieve some form of continuity but it comes off very poorly. The presentation also adds to this theme of laziness with a UI that you would probably see in a decent mobile game. You’ll score enough yourself for the same reason so it balances out but it hardly creates immersion or promotes a sense of realism. They wander aimlessly, make stupid decisions and cost you countless amounts of goals. Then the goalkeepers seem to have a mind of their own as most goalkeepers do but not in a good way. They just seem like cardboard cutouts with different stats assigned to them. There seems to be no difference in how players act whether they are forwards, attackers or defenders. Sure the gameplay is fun, after all it borrows a lot of assets from FIFA 2012. However, this title seems to be a swing and a miss in that respect. The past iterations had their own identity within this series, with the first perhaps being a real cult classic. Yet you can’t help but feel there is a good deal of symbiosis to the original here.
Just the players grunting as they smash a ball into the little goals. You still have the gritty European street environments that showcase the different footballing cultures and there still isn’t any commentary or chanting of a crowd. However, in this one, there is a sense that the developers wanted to make it feel like the original FIFAs, only condensed to a smaller field with a more arcade-themed control scheme. Unless it smacked off the keeper’s head, of course. Which for those unaware, was essentially the football equivalent of a Dragonball-Z style power blast that rocketed into the net almost everytime. Then there was the contrasting cartoonish side of the games where you would be able to build up enough points to perform a gamebreaker.
In past Fifa Street games there was a really gritty feel to the game where you could play like Roy Keane chopping down the more skillful players and that was enough to get by.
