The new FIFA Street, arriving on March 13, is one of the most eagerly anticipated games from EA Sports this year and is expected to be one of the revolutionary and authentic FIFA Streets till date. When the game was first announced in August last year, the fans were promised a true quality street football experience by the game’s line producer Sid Misra. Now it is to be seen if the new game lives up to its expectations and matches the popularity of the current FIFA 12 as it is being developed by the same team behind FIFA 12.

The game is set to feature a host of real-life players from as many as 120 teams from the world's biggest leagues, and 35 locations from around the world that will range from Amsterdam streets to the beach in Rio de Janeiro. The most intriguing thing about these arenas is that each of them will attempt to reflect the style of football played in that country. The game will also become the first game in the series to feature both national and club teams.

“This is a reboot of the FIFA Street franchise, so what you know of FIFA Street 1, 2 and 3, you can forget about it. What we really wanted to do is come out with the first truly great street football experience. There hasn't been one yet. FIFA Street 1, 2 and 3 barely tried, they came out kinda good and then a little bit into the experience, people kinda lost interest. So we wanted really to create a game that had that depth that was missing in the games of the past,” Misra told GameSpot in an interview. “This is the first game that’s going to be built by members of the FIFA team on the FIFA engine… There’s no need to go overtly arcade in street football because when you see some of the cool stuff people can do, they already seems arcadey enough, I don’t need to jump over someone’s shoulders when I can already do some cool stuff with the ball as it is.”

Here’s what you need to know about the game:

However, you will need to utilize close dribble touches in tight spaces, under pressure and even while tackling an opponent.
