With World Cup fever in full swing, EA has unleashed a version of the popular soccer gaming franchise for free on Facebook: FIFA Superstars. But don't get ahead of yourself, this is not the arcade infused soccer title fans have known to play and love. Instead, it's a management based sim that allows the player to set up games based on players and teams stats. A definite change from the core gameplay that has been donned on consoles and mobile devices previously, FIFA Superstars veers away from the norm and creates something new.
Just in time for the World Cup of Soccer, EA has launched EA Sports FIFA Superstars - a Facebook version of one of the company's most popular and successful sports game franchises. This is no arcade sports game, however, but a soccer management sim that - if you can adjust your expectations of what you expect a FIFA title to be - actually shows a great deal of promise.
