Players can explore the jam-packed unique content starting with a variety of
mini-games or rock out to tunes using EA POCKET TRAX, the built in media player!
This unique feature allows gamers to effortlessly transform their PSP into a
portable and stylish music player featuring each title’s hot soundtrack. FIFA

against the greatest old-school legends and today’s hottest players, gamers can
rise above the rim with bigger-than-life moves and defeat the best the streets
have to offer with an arsenal of dunks, passes, dribbles, and tricks.
Boasting unprecedented visual and audio features, a deep selection of advanced
controls, and more than 350 official team and league licenses, FIFA Soccer
delivers console quality gaming on the PSP. Players can battle their way through
Season and Tournament play or replay famous games and fight their way out of
preset matches in the Challenges mode. FIFA Soccer is a complete, authentic, and
intelligent soccer experience for the PSP.
