It has been announced by EA Sports that they have released the demo for the Xbox 360, and the demo is available to download right away but only for gamers who are Gold members of Xbox Live. The demo is around 1.9GB in size and will give gamers a taste of what is to come when the full title is released next month.

Previously we reported that no other than Lionel Messi had defected from the Pro Evolution Soccer franchise to head over to the team at EA Sports and the FIFA titles. The latest title in the FIFA Street franchise will be the first for the best part of four years, and is being developed by the same team who were responsible for the hugely successful FIFA 12.

The new game will also use the same engine as FIFA 12, and will be available to early adopters of the EA Sports Season Ticket. The just released demo will feature both Italy’s AC Milan, and the English Premier Leagues Manchester City. The latest installment in the franchise has been promised by the developer to be more authentic looking compared to previous releases.

As was reported before EA Sports has added the new Street Network feature, which basically adds a social competition to the game. Meanwhile it is being reported by Strategy Informer that EA is thinking of using some of the moves and mechanics in FIFA 13. FIFA Street will feature a new dibbling system that may find its way onto this year’s FIFA title.

To recap FIFA Street 2012 is set to be released in the US on March 13th with Europe getting the game on the 16th. Will you be getting FIFA Street?

It has been revealed that gamers in the US can get the game on March 13th; with UK gamers seeing it released three days later on the 16th. According to Video Gamer, EA Sports has also announced the new Street Network feature.

This new feature of the game has been designed to add a social competition among gamers, which will enable video capture for players to showcase their best tricks by sharing them in the game with friends. Also gamers will be able to track and compare their progress with their friends throughout the game. This includes the Head-to-Head Online Seasons and the World Tour story mode.

Producer Sid Misra said that the new feature will bring “that real-world swagger into the game”, as players will be able to capture video of their best moments to share. There will also be videos broadcast that feature Goals of the Week, and friends can be alerted to each other’s achievements.

The game will be available for owners of the PS3 and Xbox 360, and UK residents can preorder FIFA Street from retailer GAME and receive an exclusive Adidas all-star team. This features Lionel Messi and twelve of the best players in the world.

This offer will also provide exclusive access to the Lionel Messi Barcelona venue, which the player helped to design himself. EA Sports Season Ticket holders will have access to a digital version of the game three days ahead of the launch.
