Along with the Online Team Play update that allowed for up to 10 players on their own systems in a single online game, the FIFA 08 team was able to address some other issues at the same time.

FIFA Street 3 trailer and new screens
A new FIFA Street 3 trailer has been released. This one shows a lot more than the previous one which just had a solo Ronaldinho doing ball tricks.

Will the trend of more reasonable prices for EA Sports games continue?
After the news of March Madness 08 and NFL Tour both being reduced to $50 it comes as little surprise that FIFA Street 3 will join them at the same price. This means the next three sports titles from EA have settled in at a new price point. But will that continue with the rest of the lineup of games? While it was a surprise at first to see MM08 and Tour drop in price it made a lot of sense for each of them and that is true again with FIFA Street. As I mentioned along with the news of the ...
