So we investigated it, found it was really authentic and a compelling place to play so we decided to make it one of our featured locations. There are always games being played on the sand. We heard about Barra Beach and it turned out to be a place where a lot of big name players go to play when they are just chilling out. Talk a little about Barra Beach? Brazil has a huge reputation for street soccer because it really is the birthplace of some of the world's most talented players and there are a lot of locations that we could choose from. So this was one place that was credible, it was real and it was occupied by people really into the sport and the game. Everyone I talked to that day had heard of FIFA Street, had played it and was looking forward to FIFA Street 2. When I visited there were tons of kids playing and you could see this was a place where street soccer was really alive. I heard about it so I actually went there to see it for myself. Players in Europe recognize this as one of the real credible places to play street football in the world.
You would probably never find it unless you new it was there or had heard about it in street soccer circles. Tell us about the Westway Leisure Center in London? The Westway Sports Centre in London is actually underneath the A-20 overpass. We enhanced it a little to make it feel more gladiatorial for our Rule the Street mode. One of our secret locations in Berlin is actually an abandoned warehouse that is an art gallery during the day and a street football hotbed at night.

Our location in Mexico, for example, was based on a lot of reference photographs but we took some creative license to make it an environment that was a bit more fun to play in. A few places were inspired or combined into one. We took some creative license with some of the surrounding buildings for legal reasons but certainly everyone who has played there and seen the game has said I know where that area is. In our New York location, for example, we basically constructed a venue that is about 70 percent real. The five authentic locations that are near true-to-life are Westway Sports Centre in London, Barra Beach in Brazil, Marseille in France, Amsterdam and New York. YES NO Of the 10 new locations to play which ones are authentic? In FIFA Street 2 there are five authentic locations and the others we have taken some creative license with or are inspired. That's what we really wanted to deliver on this year.
So our philosophy was to go for places that are real, authentic where possible, and true to the culture of street soccer. Some places build a reputation for being the place to see the best players in the world and where the most talented players are performing the coolest new tricks. Over the past two years we have learned a lot about where the real street soccer hotspots are in the world and where the most competitive tournaments are played. How did you pick the new locations to create in FIFA Street 2? We considered a number of different factors but in the end I felt we needed to choose locations that felt relevant to the culture of street football, and wherever possible these places had to be authentic. Producer Simon Andrews hooked us up with this exclusive Q&A where he discusses the process of identifying these locations around the world and replicating them in game. FIFA Street 2 features 10 new locations where users can experience the culture of street soccer.
