Take a trip down nostalgia street…
Today marks the release of FIFA ’15 and JOE is as excited as every other gamer and football lover in the country.
We all remember the initial buzz of seeing the credits sequence as the excitement kicks in, but it’s hard to believe that prior to ’98 FIFA didn’t have the licence to use music in their seminal game.
This all changed with the release of FIFA: Road to World Cup 98 and to mark the release of FIFA ’15 we have decided to take a look at some of the opening sequences and songs that have featured in EA’s legendary series.
