As might be surmised, there is no way that eleven people per side can play in this mode, so you can choose between three-a-side, four-a-side or even five-a-side. VOLTA is a nod to the previous FIFA Street series, and takes place in unusual locales, such as streets. This means ‘return’ in Portuguese, and perhaps refers to a return to childhood, when you played on the street or near your home with however many mates could be mustered up and co-opted into your team.

The big news for this release is the reveal of VOLTA Mode. This makes for more equal play, as previously they seemed to be something like super athletes, never slipping up and rarely letting a player or a ball get past them. The AI defence has been made more realistic, which means that they occasionally make human-like mistakes.

Improvements to movement capture and coding and controls makes the play ever more precise, and ball control is a positive delight as you can use a lot of finesse to manoeuvre the ball to exactly where you want to put it.

You can manage your team, starting your players from scratch, or using real life players whose ball skills have been ably translated to the screen. This game is, as might be expected from the popular and successful franchise, the usual offering of real life teams and stadia, accurately rendered, with crisp beautiful graphics, and exciting playbooks to work through.
