The different types of players in the game are categorized as Tricksters, Playmakers, Finishers, and Enforcers. The cover features Brazilian star Ronaldinho, English star Peter Crouch, and Italian star Gennaro Gattuso. A demo for FIFA Street 3 was released on 17 January 2008 on the Xbox Live marketplace for the Xbox 360 and on the PlayStation Store for the PlayStation 3.
Electronic Arts confirmed that a third FIFA Street game was being developed for next-generation consoles to be released in 2008. It was developed under the EA Sports BIG division of EA Sports, which is also responsible for such titles as SSX, NBA Street, NFL Street, and the FIFA Street games. Gamers are immersed in a "hyper-real world where players run up walls, environments pulsate to the music, and surroundings explode to life with each goal or trick." Development Enhancing this stylistic form of play are the exotic locations and interactive environments. This enables gamers to experience "all the style and attitude" that is characteristic of street football. Players are identified by unique moves and show off their signature style of play. The game features more than 250 players from 18 different international teams. I have used these times to allocate the goals scored into four quarters of the game (notionally 0-22, 23-45 (end of first half), 46-68, 69-90 (end of second half)).The game's emphasis is on arcade-style fun and street football style tricks rather than real-life simulation. Note: the FIFA web site uses a basic 0-90 minute running clock for goal times. These goals have been scored in the following quarters of the game: There were 48 games in the qualifying tournament that produced a total of 101 goals. Goals scored (team scoring goal named first with links to FIFA video of goal): Minute in Game I have used these times to allocate goals in extra time. Extra Time uses two sets of fifteen minutes (90-105, 105-120). I have used these times to allocate the goals scored into four quarters of the game (notionally 0-22, 23-45 (end of first half), 46-68, 69-90 (end of second half)). The goals in the knockout tournament have been scored in the following quarters of the game: These penalty shoot out goals are not included in the total goals scored. Game 58 ended in a penalty shoot out (Uruguay scored 4 penalty goals and Ghana scored 2). Game 55 ended in a penalty shoot out (Paraguay scored 5 penalty goals and Japan scored 3). There have been 16 games to date that have produced a total of 44 goals. These games include extra time (when required) and a penalty shoot out if scores remain level at the end of extra time. ( 101 in Group Games, 44 in Knockout Games.) Given there will be a lot of interest in goal scoring after the World Cup I thought I would use the links offered by the FIFA video page of goals scored to create a record that might be of use in the performance analysis of goal scoring.ฤก45 goals were scored in 64 games. The official FIFA web site has detailed information about each game played in the 2010 World Cup.
