--------------------------------------------------------------------- NBA Street Vol. 2 FAQ created by Greg Boccia aka MysticalMoon or Kaizer_Z3r0 on the date of 5-1-03 E-mail at [email protected] (that's Z 3 R ZERO) Version .5 Last update: 5-1-03 All questions or comments please send to my E-mail with the title "NBA Street" No hate mail please! ©2003 MysticalMoon ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Version History: Version .5 - Just the basic know how on all the modes and features. MUCH more to be added in the next update (Yes that means alot, see coming soon section) Introduction: Welcome to the wonderful world of NBA Street where you can try to hang with the best ballers in the nation. If you've ever played the original you would know that this is a great game and is highly addictive. This is not NBA Live or some other regular sports game but is instead a game like NFL Blitz where no rules apply and fun is created by this. Busting out some high flying, above the rim dunks like NBA Jam was (Not that high though) is just one of many great things that this game brings. Well, enough talk, let's get to the goods. Table of Contents: 1: Controls 2: Advanced Controls 3: Tricks 4: My Team 5: Street School 6: Pickup Game Mode 7: NBA Challenge Mode 8: Be A Legend Mode 9: Rewards 10: Cheats and Tips 11: Faqs 12: Thanks 13: Coming Soon --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Controls --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are the MENU CONTROLS: Change Selections: D-Button Up/Down Change Settings/Options: D-Button Left/Right Select/Accept (Advance to next screen): X Button Return to previous screen/menu: Triangle Button Here are the GAMEPLAY CONTROLS: GENERAL: Move Player: D-Button or left analog stick Turbo: L1, L2, R1, or R2 Pause Game: Start Button OFFENSE: Shoot/Dunk/Layup: Circle Button Pass: X Button Trick Move: Square Button Dive: Double-Tap any turbo button DEFENSE: Switch Players: X Button Shot Block/ Rebound: Triangle or Circle (Triangle is better) Steal: Square Button Dive: Double-Tap any turbo button ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Advanced Controls ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I call these the advanced controls since they are for one new, and two they are pretty advanced for this game. Pass ball and maintain control of same person: This is a new feature to NBA Street Vol. 2 and will grow to be very likeable. Simply tap the R3 button (Don't press it in, that's a pick) in the direction you want to pass the ball and your player will pass the ball to a teammate allowing you to maintain control of the player you had and not the ball. Check further down in this section and later in the Tricks and Tips section of the FAQ. Back 2 Papa: Moving towards the hoop press and hold any 2 turbos and then hit X, this will throw the ball off of the backboard and pass it to a teammate or back to yourself. Off the Heezay: Standing still press and hold any 2 turbos and then hit X, this will bounce the ball off the opponents head. Note: Only done with good ball handlers. Be the Oop: A move involving the R3 pass, pass it off and head down the lane like you were going to dunk (without the ball) and you jump for an Alley-Oop, hit X in mid-air and your teammate will give you the sweetness. GameBreaker: Bust out those tricks and watch the meter fill up! When the meter is full the music will change and you can unleash a GameBreaker. Press and hold any 2 turbos and the shoot/dunk to initiate it. Pocket Gamebreaker: New feature allowing you to store your GameBreakers to use them for a Level 2 GameBreaker, press select while you have possesion of the ball. Cancel Gamebreaker: New feature allowing you to cancel an opponents Pocketed GameBreaker, press any 2 turbos and select. Note: This is a strategic move, although the computer never gets this far on me it could be handy for tight situations Level 2 Gamebreaker: Pocket a GameBreaker and then when you get a second one you can do the literally unstoppable Gamebreaker 2. This Gamebreaker does double the damage and can get those trick points way up there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tricks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As of now I will only provide those listed in the manual since I am too lazy to finish a complete list now. Any contribution toward it will be credited in the Thanks section of the FAQ. Advanced Dunks: Take That: L1 + R1 + Circle Da Hangman: L2 + R2 + Circle Backbreaker: R1 + R2 + Circle Around the Way: L1 + L2 + Circle Advanced Ball Handling: Hypnotizer: L1 + R1 + Square Lampin: L2 + R2 + Square Gotcha Open: R1 + R2 + Square Double Dutch: L1 + L2 + Square Boss Moves: Once you have them you can assign them to any button combination that is available depending on the level. Chocolate Thunder Droppin' Dimes Magic The Oz Nique Biggie Little Big Dipper The Pistol Whitewater The Legend Stretch The Glide The Doctor Bonafide ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Team ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enter this mode from the Main Menu and it will include 2 new options: Create a Baller: As the name implies, it allows you to create a new player to be used. Note: A created player must be made in order to play in the Be A Legend Mode. Through out the Be A Legend mode you will gain Development points for your baller and will be able to "MAX" his stats. Only one stat can have a crown so choose wisely. Also, what kind of body figure you choose will alter the clothes and shoes that you can choose. I suggest building a baller after you have completed a good part of the NBA Challenge since you can use some of those Reward Points to get some Development Points to build a nice player at the beginning. Note: It takes 11100 Development Points to "MAX" your player out. Create a Team: My personal favorite feature, it allows you to create your own team from NBA Players, Street Legends, NBA Legends and Created Ballers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Street School --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is where you and Strecth Monroe go to work at the basics and some of the new and advanced techniques in the game. Going through all of 26 of them earns you a Trophy and 1000 Reward points. If you go through it without messing up on any of them (26 attempts 26 completed) you get Rich Archibald's throwback Jersey. ----------------------------------Offense---------------------------------------- ----------------------------------Defense---------------------------------------- ----------------------------------Advanced--------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pickup Game Mode --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Allows you to play an exhibition game against either the computer or one of your friends. If you win 10, 15, and then 20 games you will unlock Bobbito, Just Blaze, and Nelly and the St. Lunatics at each increment. If you play in each mode that is available you will get Michael Jordan's throwback Jersey. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NBA Challenge Mode --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go against all the teams in the nation and end up playing the All-Stars of the region you are in. Beating this grants access to many rewards and a trophy, and do not forget all the reward points you will recieve for making it through every team in the league. ------------------------------------Central-------------------------------------- All the games in the Central take place at Foster Beach. Play through the Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, Millwaukee Bucks, and the Minnesota Timberwolves and you can play the boss of this region. Only thing to watch for in this region is the Bucks 3-point shooting and Detroits ability to rebound. ------------------------------------SouthWest------------------------------------ All the games in the SouthWest take place at Lincoln College. Play through the Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Pheonix Suns, and the San Antonio Spurs and you can play the boss of this region. The Lakers are the hard team hard since they have Kobe and Shaq but just block Kobe and dunk on Shaq to beat them. ------------------------------------NorthEast------------------------------------ All the games in the NorthWest take place at The Cage. Play through the New Jersey Nets, Boston Celtics, Washington Wizards, Philadelphia 76ers, New York Knicks, and the Toronto Raptors and you can play the boss of this region. Nothing hard here just beat them and head to the boss. ------------------------------------SouthEast------------------------------------ All the games in the SouthEast take place at Broad Street. Play through the Orlando Magic, Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans Hornets, Miami Heat, and the Atlanta Hawks and you can play the boss of this region. Orlando has Tracy McGrady and New Orleans is just good so it could be a problem with those teams. -----------------------------------NorthWest------------------------------------- All the games in the NorthWest take place in Greenlake. Play through the Golden State Warriors, Portland Trailblazers, Sacromento Kings, Seatle Super Sonics, Utah Jazz, and the Denver Nuggets and you can play the boss of this region. Portland and Sacromento are both good teams with decent blocking and shooting in Chris Weber, Peja Stojakavich, and Rasheed Wallace. Congratulations! You've completed the NBA Challenge mode of NBA Street Vol. 2. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Be A Legend Mode --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take your created baller and run him up against some local goons to try and build him into a legend. Of course he won't always play the goonies but instead will gain respect and progress thru-out the ranks. Many Street Legends are unlocked thru-out this mode and Development Points are earned to increase your ballers skills. Note: You must have a created baller in order to play this mode. First off I think it's good to know how the Development points are earned in order to gain more and MAX out your baller. Tricks: Scored by the amount of trick points you get while playing, I find that for every 1,000,000 tricks you recieve 100 Development. So 100,000 trick points would only get you 10 Development points. Level 1 GameBreakers: You get 10 Development Points for everyone of these you do through out the game. Level 2 GameBreakers: You get 25 Development Points for everyone of these you do through out the game. Completed Court: When ever you complete a court (signified by a check) you earn 100 Development Points at the end of the last game. Win/Lose: You get 100 Development Points for a win and 0 for a loss. You also get rewards for building your reputation: Level 1: Rookie Reward: Jerry West Throwback Jersey 10 Development Points Level 2: Baller Reward: David Thompson Throwback Jersey 10 Development Points Level 3: All Star Reward: Get a nickname according to style of play (I get alot of trick points so my nickname was "Flash") 10 Development Points Level 4: Super Star Reward: Boss Move the Nique and Domique Wilkins Throwback Jersey. 10 Development Points Level 5: Legend Reward: George Gervin Throwback Jersey 10 Development Points To start go pick up a baller and then pick up some local ballers and head to New York City. --------------------------------New York City----------------------------------- Begin your climb to the top here where you will eventually end up in the end to become a Street Legend.

How do I get to 450 so I can enter the '78 Rucker Park Challenge? A: Win all the possible Pick Up Games and tournaments and you should have a record of 45-0 and have a Reputation of Legend. Every Reputation level that you gain increases your progress 10 points (440+10=450, amazing eh?), that's a total of 50 points. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To CJayc for creating GameFAqs.com and posting this FAQ.
