The ludicrous decision to put the perpetually-injured Jack Wilshere on the front of FIFA 12 was rightly scrapped on FIFA 13 in favour of the GOAT.įIFA 13 also included a quite brilliant soundtrack which included 'Shine the Light' from Sheffield outfit Reverend and the Makers, Django Django's 'Hail Bop', 'Sleep Alone' by Two Door Cinema Club, and a song that inspired so many to achieve/waste their potential on FIFA, 'Champion' by The Chevin. This edition was marked by the emergence of Stephane El Sharaawy and Alexandre Lacazette as must-haves on Ultimate Team and, let's be honest, a bit of a disregard for the game once Modern Warfare 3 came out in November 2011. However, these are supplemented by a range of instantly recognisable 'classics' such as CSS' 'Hits Me Like A Rock', Rock Mafia's 'The Big Bang', The Naked and Famous' 'Punching in a Dream' and The Vaccines' 'Wreckin' Bar (Ra Ra Ra)'. I mean, if this doesn't get you ready to help David Beckham and the rest of the England squad to get to France '98 then nothing else will. It is on the list as it includes 'Song 2' by Blur. To be honest, this is not here because it has a wealth of extraordinary songs, in fact it has only got six, and four are by the same artist. It is not an overstatement to say that they make or break your fondness for a particular FIFA.Īnd with Cafe Totem’s Fifa Night just around the corner, it’s about time that we dug out the game’s best ever soundtracks.
No, when reminiscing about FIFAs gone by we tend to determine its greatness by its soundtrack. Yet, in reality we do not judge it on the gameplay nor do we rate it on whether or not they enjoyed success on a particular edition.
FIFA, on paper, is a video game which is solely concerned with football, there is no real reference to life outside of football- other than when one of your players on career mode ludicrously claims they are 'homesick'.
