The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A slick, street-level soccer showdown where flashy tricks and individual flair matter more than tactics or realism.

About

As a spin-off of the FIFA lineage, FIFA Street combines arcade action with the culture of freestyle street soccer. By removing the rules from the simulation soccer experience, FIFA Street exposes the heart of the world's beautiful game, on-the-ball flair and individual style. Leading this movement are the worlds top professional players, showing off their skills and individual style in 4-on-4 match-ups against the backdrop of global venues that represent the true culture of street soccer. In the game's dynamic 1-on-1 encounters, beating your opponent will require skill, technique, and the careful selection of specific moves. Take on the best and earn their respect, gradually building your reputation and team into an unstoppable force that leads the tide of street soccer.

What players say

A flashy 4-on-4 street-football spin-off built around trickery and showboating rather than realism, with loose arcade physics. Fun in bursts but held back by dim AI and a feeling that it's only laying groundwork for better sequels.
