FIFA Street reboot in development at EA Canada, coming early next year

EA's Gamescom 2011 keynote has already brought about one intriguing bit of news about the revival of its more palatable, outrageous sports franchises: FIFA Street. Coming to PS3 and 360 early next year, the EA Canada-developed title will bring back the rough-and-tumble action of the original series, with the depth of the later installments in FIFA Prime. In fact, it might possess more depth -- according to EA, it will feature "twice as many moves as FIFA 12."

The game will also feature the suite of EA Football Club features first announced at E3 this year, among other, unspecified social networking features. EA Sports Season Ticket holders will also get early (temporary) access to the full game, should they choose to accept it. Keep an eye out for the game's debut trailer in the coming hours.

I hope they decided to bring back NFL Street too. Maybe NBA Street, even though I wasn't all that impressed with the last one.

@Troy Powers In the uk at least football is played on the street if your on the street football will be being played I can't think of NFL and NBA being played as much on streets because you need a net for basketball and NFL isn't played much except USA.

Yeah...errr...the "street" series of sports games isn't literally based around playing sports in the street. Rather, it's about playing a version of the game that is less about rules and regulations and more about showing off, commonly referred to as "streetball."

Completely off topic, but I'm leaving a few extra commas, periods, and apostrophes at the end of this comment. Feel free to use them whenever you see fit.

@Troy Powers Like your retort, I do...

I really, really hope this means a new NBA Street title is in development- I'd love something that rivals Volume 2 in greatness, though Homecourt was great.

What previous FIFA Streets were really missing was jumper goalposts. At the start of every match the two teams must decide on the size of the goals, also all dubious goals have to be disputed in a quickt time event.

Im actually excited for this. I liked FIFA street 1 and loved FIFA street 2 but FIFA street 3 was a fiasco. I was still looking for a new FIFA street game
