A handful of international teams are also present, as are various All-Star teams which you unlock during the game. A lot of players feel the same, regardless of the position they play, so defenders don't feel any more solid than a diminutive playmaker. Choose a top team – say, Manchester United – and you'll be able to cherry-pick a street team. Teams from the top leagues in Europe are present, but you won't find teams from lower or more exotic divisions. Furthermore, goalkeepers sometimes make baffling decisions, leaving your goal exposed, but it's never so bad that it spoils the experience. But because environments are much tighter, players collide more frequently, resulting in some strange and frustrating tangles. The game uses the a lot of the same technology as FIFA 12, so players move and react in similar ways. You+can+play+on+more+than+just+streets.+Like+rooftops. Games lack the palpable atmosphere that you find in FIFA 12. Occasionally, it's a little strange to hear players from around the world communicating with inappropriate accents, but it's a minor niggle that will only trouble the pedantic. Instead, you'll be able to hear the shouts of your players as they hustle play and demand the ball. The camera is locked-off and there's no commentary. It introduces a refreshing and welcomed degree of variety to matches. Conversely, a match on a larger playing surface will encourage passing and more enterprising playing styles. Play on a smaller pitch and things are a bit more crowded – you'll pass less and rely more on close control. These variables subtly influence the way in which a game unfolds. The dimension of pitches vary, as do the size of the goals. And this isn't just superficial gloss – each environment is subtly different. You can play in parks, gyms, and backstreets, on a rooftop in Shanghai, or in front of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Although none of the stages rouse you like a packed Wembley stadium, there's a great deal of variety. A lot of the environments are interesting and vibrant, but lack the level of detail to really sell them. Presentation is good, but never approaches breathtaking.
But FIFA Street isn't a cynical, half-hearted entry into the series, it's got an interesting career mode, a simple yet effective control scheme, and is just really, really good fun when played with friends. And that's no bad thing when the other game is FIFA 12, one of the best-selling sports games ever made. This doesn't mean it's been sapped of what makes street football potentially so electric and exhilarating it simply creates a sense of continuity between the two titles.
