FIFA 12 3D ignores StreetPass for the fundamentals, but supports SpotPass

“We are not utilising StreetPass but we’ll have a day one kit and roster update to make sure we are fully authentic for the new season and SpotPass is one of the ways that you can download the update. We looked into all of the unique 3DS features early in the development cycle but with our first foray into Fifa on the 3DS we wanted to make sure we got the fundamentals right and focused on getting the core game solid while at the same time innovating in key areas. We did this by developing a lot of content and modes and developing the gameplay with unique 3DS features which we have done with the addition of touchscreen shooting. We wanted to focus on getting those things right and creating a very solid and fun gameplay experience.” - FIFA 12 3D producer Matt Prior

Well, seeing SpotPass used is definitely nice. I still think StreetPass could and should be implemented into every game, but I guess EA feels different.
