team. Development Promotion and release The game was announced on 16 August 2011 at the Gamescom event in Germany, and was released on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles in March 2012. Along with several other new EA Sports titles, FIFA Street was available early to purchasers of the EA Sports Season Ticket. Lionel Messi features on the cover after EA announced, in November 2011, that he had signed a deal to become the new face of the FIFA franchise. The "Adidas All-Star Team" including 13 of the greatest footballers in the world and the Lionel Messi Barcelona-themed venue were available as pre-order bonus. A FIFA Street demo was launched on 28 February 2012 on Xbox Live and a day later on PSN. Unlike the previous 3 FIFA Street games, this one does not use the EA Sports BIG branding, and instead uses the standard EA Sports branding. Along with FIFA Street, SSX was also resurrected for a new game. Reception FIFA Street garnered generally positive reviews, and holds an average of 77/100 on aggregate web site Metacritic.
