Take your skills out of the stadium and into the street in EA's second installment of the FIFA Street franchise, FIFA Street 2 . The game features a new trick stick control mechanic, improved tricks, and a skill-testing juggle mechanic. You can dupe your opponent, juggle the ball on your knees and shoulders, and there are various new combos to show off. Pick from 20 teams from around the globe and watch over 300 of your favorite football stars duel it out in 4-on-4 match-ups. Select from 10 playable venues ranging from London's Westway Leisure Center to the sandy beaches of Brazil.
You can do quick matches, change the looks and skills of players in the Creation Zone, and design your own venue. The main game modes include Friendly, Rule the Street (the career mode), and Skills Challenge where you can show off your football tricks. The career mode adds new goals in this version, based on acquiring a certain amount of skill points, scoring lots of goals, or scoring only with gamebreakers. You can select a radio station to play during the matches, mixing music with commentary.
FIFA Street 2 was released on PlayStation 2 on February 28th, 2006 for the UK market, bringing a fresh take on the soccer gaming genre. The game's success was largely due to its innovative controls and gameplay mechanics, which set it apart from other sports games at the time.
