I decided that the internet needed a good strategy guide on the game so I decided to make one. In this guide you will get all the basic information you need to know on the game plus my personal strategies and tips. If you are thinking of buying NBA Street you should stop reading this guide right now and go out to the store and buy it. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions about this guide feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]. Thanks and enjoy! Your game's too big for the arena, too cool for the hardcourts. Take your game to the streets and play against the city's legendary ballers with NBA Street. Lace up the 'tops, crank up the beats and let it rool, ya'll. Hit the blacktop in the first over-the-top, three-on-three arcade-action streetball video game for the Playstation 2 console. Play basketball the way it was supposed to be played: in the streets, outside the lines, and over the top. Schoolin' your opponent on the way to victory is the name of the game. Receiving rewards for it is extra sweet. Tour the country's toughest courts in two awesome game modes. Team up with Michael Jordan in City Circuit mode and hoop it up against NBA Ballers and Sreet legends, or work your skills against mixed squads from the NBA in Hold the Court mode. You think you got game...then take it to STREET, playa. --------------------------------- 2: Update History --------------------------------- August 7th 2001 (version 0.2) - Huge update. Everything that I wanted to complete is now done. The Create A Player is fully completed, I've add more Street Tips, I've added all the teams to the Team Statistics, I've finished all the last three levels in Hold The Court mode and I've added some new things! The new things that I have added are the following: I added a section with all the hidden players in the game. I decided that it would be cool to have a High Scores section on this guide. Right now it's just my High Scores typed out but feel free to send in yours to get fitted on the list. Please don't make up scores because all that will do is mess up the rankings. Another thing I've decided to do is make a section called "Top 5 NBA Teams" where I have listed the my favorite 5 NBA teams in the game. The last section I threw up here was an "Unstoppable Team" which is my unstoppable team. Now I figure that you guys have your own unstoppable teams and a lot of people will argue back and forth saying that their team is better so I have decided to let people send in their teams to get posted. So if you either want your rankings or your unstoppable team up here e-mail me at [email protected]. Note, I will update these sections of the guide only when I decide to update another part of the guide. This means that I will not just be updating the guide for the user-friendly interactive stuff. Don't worry though, knowing me they'll be a new update every couple of days. Oh yeah, on a sidenote I've also added a section called Ways Of Contacting Me. This will give you all the ways that you can contact me. August 1st 2001 (version 0.1) - I took a huge break from NCAA Football 2002 to make this guide. I got so addicted to writing this guide that I didn't hang out with my friends, watch tv, or do anything like that for four straight days. I wanted to get everything completed in one update but then I thought that it would be better to post the guide up tonight and finish it off in the next few days. As you scroll through the guide you'll see that the Create A Player is not done, the Street Tips are not done, and I left out the last three levels in Hold The Court. Don't worry though, those and a lot more other things will be complete in the next couple days. Hope you enjoy this! --------------------------------- 3: Controls --------------------------------- The controls in NBA Street are very easy to get use to.

Play different teams with the help of Michael Jordan to be the best team in the world. Here I have listed how to beat each team and what you get if you win. I decided to make a rating key for each team you have to beat. This will tell you what kind of challenge you are in for when you are playing them. Goodluck. Note I was playing City Circuit with the difficulty set on Mad Skill (the highest skill level). ============== Rating Key ============== 1 Star (*)............Extremely easy should win on first turn 2 Stars (**)..........Easy, shouldn't take you more then two games to win. 3 Stars (***).........This might take 5 tries to win before completing. Not hard but not easy. 4 Stars (****)........These are rare but they come up. This might take some time so sit down and concentrate. 5 Stars (*****).......If you can beat these teams you know you are good. Have fun trying to win. ======================================================================= Note ======================================================================= When I talk about development points in this section it was how many development points I got while playing. So sometimes you may be able to choose from more or less development points then I have listed. Just wanted to clear this up for people who were getting different numbers when it came to development points. ======================================================================= Note ======================================================================= Here I'm going to walk you through the whole circuit mode. First off: Choose a team for the Circuit. Then you get to enter the bracket. You start off at Region #1. Region: #1 Description: Region #1 has just the Vancouver Grizzlies and the Toronto Raptors in it. Team: Vancouver Grizzlies Venue: Pacific Blvd. Difficulty: * If you win: 3 New Players 1 NBA Player 9 Presenation Cheats New Players: Moby Jones Zoe Payne Tracey Maretti Note: You do not get these 3 new players or the 9 presentation cheats when you win your first game. I got them by winning the first game in the circuit because it was my 10th overall win. I got the other wins by playing my friends in hold the court. You can choose from these NBA Players: Shareef Abdur-Rahim Michael Dickerson Mike Bibby Grant Long Stromile Swift 25 development points Smartest Choice: 25 development points Why: These guys are not necessary to have on your team. If you choose the 25 development points it will help you out in the long run. How To Win: This is not a hard team to beat. You can beat this team using no strategy at all. Don't even waste your time using Michael Jordan against these guys. It's not even necessary to get your gamebreaker against them so if you are winning by a lot just dunk on the gamebreaker to get more points then taking a 2 pointer. If you can't win this team on your first try, go back to practice mode. After beating the Grizzlies you move onto the Raptors. Team: Toronto Raptors Venue: Pacific Blvd. Difficulty: ** If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Vince Carter Charles Oakley Antonio Davis Keon Clark Morris Peterson 25 development points Smartest Choice: 25 development points Why: Vince Carter is a great player but if you already have Michael Jordan and another good shooter he's useless. I went with the 25 development points for my created player because if I keep on getting points to create him, he will be better then Vince Carter in a short time. How To Win: The Raptors are your first good competition. If you are just starting the circuit they will probably take you a good 2-3 times to finally beat them. They are good for one reason: Vince Carter. If you can stop him then you will probably win. I double teamed Carter the whole game so he couldn't get trick points. If you don't double team him, he will get his team at least 2 gamebreakers in the game. I always tried stealing with my small players when the other two players got the ball. It seemed like I stole the ball a lot when Carter didn't have it. You shouldn't have too much difficulty with this team if you follow what I just told you. After beating the Raptors you move onto Street Challenge #1. Team: BIGGS Venue: Beacon Hill Difficulty: * If you win: A New Court - "Beacon Hill" A New Character - "Biggs" 100 Create Player Development Points Smartest Choice: N/A Why: You don't get to choose anything because everything is just handed to you. How To Win: BIGGS is a really easy team to beat. The only player who is actually good on the team is Biggs himself. The white guy in the football jersey is really easy to steal from and can't dunk at all. The other big guy is only good at dunking and isn't that good at defense. I just played man on man coverage and got the job done by a large spread my first time. You shouldn't have any trouble with this team. After beating BIGGS you move onto Region #2. Region: #2 Description: Region #2 has the Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Charlotte Hornets, and Atlanta Hawks in it. Team: Miami Heat Venue: South Beach Difficulty: * If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Alonzo Mourning Brian Grant Eddie Jones Anthony Mason Tim Hardaway 25 development points Smartest Choice: 25 development points Why: Alonzo Mourning is the only standout player here to choose and he's not really needed because he is not even the best center in the league. He's good for defense and dunks but that is about it. The development points are a better thing to get to make your own standout player anyways. How To Win: The Heat are an easy team to beat. I beat them my first time but it was a close game. I only won by 3 points. The people I used was Michael Jordan, Biggs, and Reggie Miller being that I am the Indiana Pacers. With this combination of players, Biggs shut down Mourning's game and Miller and Jordan make the shots. The Heat are easy but don't expect to win in blowout status. After beating the Heat you move onto the Magic. Team: Orlando Magic Venue: South Beach Difficulty: * If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Tracy McGrady Grant Hill Darrell Armstrong Mike Miller Bo Outlaw 50 development points Smartest Choice: 50 development points Why: Tracy McGrady and Grant Hill are good players but they are not needed. Plus don't you want to create a better baller yourself? Take your first opportunity to get 50 development points. How To Win: I think that the Magic must be one of the easiest teams so far. I slaughtered them with Michael Jordan, Reggie Miller, and Biggs. Because the Magic have no big players let Biggs dominate inside but offensively and defensively. Also, gamebreakers are very easy to block when playing the Magic if you guard the guy with Biggs. You should have no problem beating the Magic. After beating the Magic you move onto the Hornets. Team: Charlotte Hornets Venue: South Beach Difficulty: * If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Jamal Mashburn Baron Davis P.J. Brown David Wesley Elden Campbell 50 development points Smartest Choice: 50 development points Why: Did you actually expect me to say a different choice? The Hornets are a pretty bad team overall so it's just a lot smarter to get the 50 development points. How To Win: Another walk in the park. I think the Hornets may be the easiest team that I faced so far. I used the same team of Michael Jordan, Biggs, and Reggie Miller. I didn't really do anything special against this team except dunk a lot with all three players. Rebounding is easy with Biggs downlow because just like the Magic, the Hornets don't use anyone big. After beating the Hornets you move onto the Hawks. Team: Atlanta Hawks Venue: South Beach Difficulty: * If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Theo Ratliff Toni Kukoc Jason Terry Alan Henderson Brevin Knight 50 development points Smartest Choice: 50 development points Why: This is probably the worse choice of players you could pick from. Take the 50 development points for sure. How To Win: The Hornets show some competition at the end but they still suck. You should breeze through this team on your first try like all the other teams in this group. I used the same players as I did before except this time it was a bit harder to rebound because you are faced with some big guys on the Hawks. Other then have trouble rebounding, you should be fine. After beating the Hawks you move onto Street Challenge #2. Team: Bonafide Venue: Broad Street Difficulty: ** If you win: A New Court - "Broad Street" A New Character - "bonafide" 100 Create Player Development Points Smartest Choice: N/A Why: You don't get to choose anything because everything is just handed to you. How To Win: Bonafide is an easy team to beat if you know their weaknesses. The first time I played them I was winning by 4 and I had 20 points and somehow they came back. The 2nd time I was winning by a lot and they came back and tied it at 20 and then I shot a 2 pointer. The player bonafide is a really good dribbler and stealer. The two other big guys can block almost all the jump shots and Michael Jordan's and Reggie Miller's dunks. If you want to dunk, dunk with Biggs. Rebouding is a bit hard to do because Biggs is out numbered under the hoop but occasionally him or another player will get the rebound. This team shouldn't be too hard to beat after a few turns. After beating Bonafide you move onto Region #3. Region: #3 Description: Region #3 has the Phoenix Suns, Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz, Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, and the San Antonio Spurs in it. Team: Phoenix Suns Venue: Route 66 Difficulty: * If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Jason Kidd Shawn Marion Penny Hardaway Clifford Robinson Rodney Rogets 50 development points Smartest Choice: 50 development points Why: If you didn't have bonfire then may be I would suggest Penny Hardaway because he has some good dribbles. But if you got this far, you do have bonfire who has better dribbles then him so what's the point? 50 development points it is! How To Win: Easy easy easy...that's all I have to say about the Suns. I expected a good game but I didn't get one. The only good player on the team is Penny Hardaway because he has mad dribbles. The Suns may get 2 or 3 gamebreakers in the game but who cares, they can't score other then that. Jason Kidd is a bit dangerous from behind the arc but he's not a factor. Easy win for everyone! After beating the Suns you move onto the Nuggets. Team: Denver Nuggets Venue: Route 66 Difficulty: * If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Antonio McDyess Nick Van Exel Raef Lafrentz James Posey Voshon Lenard 50 development points Smartest Choice: 50 development points Why: By now you should know to take the 50 development points. No questions asked here. How To Win: The Nuggets are a good offensive team but are very weak on defense. All your players can dominate shooting-wise. The Nuggets are a high power offensive team that makes a lot of their shots also so the only way you get more points then them is by stealing from them. Try stealing from the big man instead of Van Exel because Van Exel can hold onto the ball a lot better. You should have no trouble beating this team on your first try. After beating the Nuggets you move onto the Jazz. Team: Utah Jazz Venue: Route 66 Difficulty: ** If you win: 1 NBA Player 8 New Ball Cheats A New Team - "Team 3LW" Note: You do not get the 8 New Ball Cheats or Team 3LW when you win the Utah Jazz. You get both of them when you record your 20th victory. I got my 20th victory when I was playing the Jazz. You can choose from these NBA Players: Karl Malone John Stockton Donyell Marshall Bryon Russell Deshawn Stevenson 50 development points Smartest Choice: 50 development points Why: This choice is actually up to you. You got Malone and Stockton who are two great players to choose from. Malone might be a good power forward for your team but I rather just take the 50 development points. I'm not sure if you would but it's really a 70/30 percent thing to do. How To Win: The Jazz are a pretty easy team to beat. I lost my first time playing them but then came back the second game to slaughter them. Karl Malone is pretty hard to stop and John Stockton can hit threes. The team I used to beat them was Michael Jordan, Biggs, and future, my created player. He's basically the same as Reggie Miller except he is a little faster and has better dribbles. I didn't shoot any threes when playing the Jazz because they can block the shots. If you don't win the first time against the Jazz it's ok because they are actually one of the tougher easy teams. After beating the Jazz you move onto the Rockets. Team: Houston Rockets Venue: Route 66 Difficulty: * If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Steve Francis Cuttino Mobely Maurice Taylor Hakeem Olajuwon Shandon Anderson 25 development points Smartest Choice: 25 development points Why: I have no idea why there is only 25 development points to get instead of the 50. Still, I decided to go with the 25 points instead of Steve Francis. I think that you should too. How To Win: The Rockets are an easy team but somehow they stayed in the game. I only won by 3 points but I didn't feel pressured at all. Rebounding is very easy if you have Biggs. Biggs can also block most of the shots by these small players. The only think that the Rockets have going for them is steals. They can steal the ball from you a lot so beware. After beating the Rockets you move onto the Mavericks. Team: Dallas Mavericks Venue: Route 66 Difficulty: ** If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Michael Finley Dirt Nowitzki Steve Nash Juwan Howard Shawn Bradley 50 development points Smartest Choice: 50 development points Why: The only person that I would choose on the list is Shawn Bradley because he is a monster. If you need a tall guy then go with him. Other then that, there are better players in the league then Michael Finley so I went with the 50 development points. How To Win: The Mavericks actually beat me the first time I played them because some how they blocked my gamebreaker shot to win the game. The second game was close but I pulled it out at the end. Luckily they don't use Shawn Bradley so rebounding is pretty easy for Biggs. Michael Finely and Dirt Nowitzki are good players from all over the court and Steve Nash can hit multiple 3 pointers. Remember though, Steve Nash can't dunk so it's easy to dominate in the inside if he takes the ball in that area. You might lose to the Mavericks a couple of times but they are still an easy team to beat. After beating the Mavericks you move onto the Spurs. Team: San Antonio Spurs Venue: Route 66 Difficulty: *** If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Tim Duncan David Robinson Derek Anderson Antonio Daniels Sean Elliott 25 development points Smartest Choice: 25 development points/Tim Duncan Why: It's only 25 development points and that can't do much to your created player now that he's probably getting up in status. Tim Duncan is probably the best power forward in the league and he has great height so he's a good choice to pick up. Don't overlook Derek Anderson if you want a good point guard. I went with the 25 development points because i figured Biggs could take Tim Duncan's spot. It's really up to you on this one. How To Win: Damn, the Spurs are pretty tough. I beat them on my second try but on pure luck at the end. I was winning 19-15 and they pulled a major comeback. Then I made this outrageous 2 point shot to win the game. I shouldn't have won the game but I did but I figured that they deserve the ranking of 3 stars. Forget about your rebounding game because Tim Duncan and David Robinson are unstoppable. Make sure you only dunk with your strong players with high dunk ratings because if you don't your other players will get blocked a lot. The main reason I won the game was because of their gamebreakers. They get mad points real fast so it's smart to let David Robinson or Tim Duncan keep the ball with the gamebreaker. Don't guard them if they get the ball because they can't shoot 2s. If Derrick Anderson gets the ball then you are screwed because he'll only try making the 2 pointer. So they had 2 gamebreakers and I held them to 2 dunks. That's what decided the game for me. After beating the Spurs you move onto Street Challenge #3. Team: DRAKE Venue: The Yard Difficulty: * If you win: A New Court - "the yard" A New Character - "drake" 100 Create Player Development Points Smartest Choice: N/A Why: You don't get to choose anything because everything is just handed to you. How To Win: DRAKE, the team, is a very easy team to beat. The two girls are strong and can block shots but that's about it. Also, the girls are very easy to steal from. Eminem, I mean Drake, can shoot good 3 pointers and is very hard to steal from. Did it occur to you that The Yard is in Detroit and this guy kind of looks like Eminem? I think that EA Sports was trying to deliver a message here. Anyways, this team is very easy I spanked them by 10 points my first time playing them. After beating Drake you move onto Region #4. Region: #4 Description: Region #4 has the New York Knicks, New Jersey Nets, Washington Wizards, Philadelphia 76ers, and the Boston Celtics in it. Team: New York Knicks Venue: The Cage Difficulty: * If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Latrell Sprewell Allan Houston Marcus Camby Glen Rice Mark Jackson 50 development points Smartest Choice: 50 development points Why: Even though I love Latrell Sprewell (the whole incident when he was in Oakland) I had to pick the 50 development points over him. Why do you need Latrell when you got Drake now? How To Win: I didn't put in Drake because all he is good for is shooting. I use Michael Jordan, future (my created player), and Biggs. The Knicks are not a strong team so all your players can dunk on them. In the beginning of the game I was getting my ass kicked but then I came back with a few steals in a row. This team has nothing special so they shouldn't be too hard to beat. After beating the Knicks you move onto the Nets. Team: New Jersey Nets Venue: The Cage Difficulty: *** If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Stephon Marbury Keith Van Horn Kenyon Martin Kendall Gill Aaron Williams 25 development points Smartest Choice: 25 development points Why: Stephon Marbury and Keith Van Horn are good but they aren't great. 25 development points can help your player out more. How To Win: I have no idea why this team took me 4 tries to beat. May be it was because I was using Drake instead of Michael Jordan. Keith Van Horn is practically the best stealer that I came across. Also, him and Stephon Marbury are dominate from behind the arc and in the paint. I got lucky when I beat the Nets on my fourth try because they had their gamebreaker but Drake hit a 2 pointer for the victory before they could get to shoot the ball. After beating the Nets you move onto the Wizards. Team: Washington Wizards Venue: The Cage Difficulty: ** If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Jahidi White Richard Hamilton Courtney Alexander Mitch Richmond Christian Laettner 25 development points Smartest Choice: 25 development points Why: Even though it's 25 development points it's better then any of the players that you can choose. Actually, I think it's better then all the players on the Wizards put together! How To Win: It seems like the teams are getting harder now. I'm having trouble beating any team on my first try. I lost to the Wizards once before beating them 21-19. My team was Biggs, Drake, and my created player. Drake is really a good shooter and Biggs dominated inside so that's why they are getting so much play time. The Wizards aren't a hard team to beat, they just might get cheap and start stealing the ball all the time at the end of the game. After beating the Wizards you move onto the 76ers. Team: Philadelphia 76ers Venue: The Cage Difficulty: * If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Allen Iverson Dikembe Mutombo Eric Snow George Lynch Aaron Mckie 50 development points Smartest Choice: 50 development points/Allen Iverson Why: Allen Iverson is probably one of the best players in the game. If you need a guard then I suggest that you pick him up. Don't overlook Dikembe either because he is a great center. I have a guard though and I don't really need a center because I'm building up my player to become a center so I decided to go with the 50 development points. This one is a tough decision so do what you want. How To Win: The 76ers are a good team but are very easy if you can get the cheap strategy down on them. Allen Iverson can steal really good, Dikembe Mutombo dominates in blocks and rebounds, and Eric Snow basically sucks. I put in bonafide instead of Drake and he really got the job done on Eric Snow. Keep Biggs back by the 3 point line so Mutombo can't block shots and have bonafide do most of the dunks. My created player was ok but he got picked a lot by Allen Iverson. If you gang up on Eric Snow, i'm positive you will win your first time like I did. After beating the 76ers you move onto the Celtics. Team: Boston Celtics Venue: The Cage Difficulty: * If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Paul Pierce Antoine Walker Kenny Anderson Tonny Battie Vitaly Potapenko 50 development points Smartest Choice: 50 development points Why: Now I remember why the Boston Celtics suck. Look at the players you can choose. Who are these people? Take the 50 development points and don't look back. How To Win: The Celtics are a very easy team to beat. I didn't really do anything special against them except dunk a lot. I didn't take any perimeter shots against them and I still pulled off the victory. After beating the Celtics you move onto Street Challenge #4. Team: DJ Venue: Venice Beach Difficulty: * If you win: A New Court - "Venice Beach" A New Character - "d.j." 100 Create Player Development Points A New Team - "Team NYC" 4 New Player Cheats Note: You do not get the 4 New Ball Cheats or Team NYC when you win Team DJ. You get both of them when you record your 30th victory. I got my 30th victory when I was playing Team DJ. Smartest Choice: N/A Why: You don't get to choose anything because everything is just handed to you. How To Win: DJ is a pretty easy team to beat. The white guy really sucks, the big black guy is really strong but all he can do is rebound and block shots, and d.j. himself is really good at dribbling. I used bonafide, Biggs, and my created player and took care of these chumps easily on my first turn. They are not a hard team to beat. After beating DJ you move onto Region #5. Region: #5 Description: Region #5 has the Chicago Bulls, Minnesota Timberwolves, Milwaukee Bucks, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, and the Cleveland Cavaliers in it. Team: Chicago Bulls Venue: The Loop Difficulty: * If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Elton Brand Ron Mercer Ron Artest Marcus Fizer Jamal Crawford 50 development points Smartest Choice: 50 development points Why: None of these players are good except Elton Brand and he's not even that good. You would have to be stupid not to take the 50 development points. How To Win: I beat the Bulls my first time playing them but it was a close one. They are basically an easy team to beat. I used the same people I always use which is bonafide, biggs, and my created player. You should have no trouble winning your first time playing the Bulls. After beating the Bulls you move onto the Timberwolves. Team: Minnesota Timberwolves Venue: The Loop Difficulty: * If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Kevin Garnett Terrell Brandon Chauncey Billups Wally Szczerbiak Laphonso Ellis 50 development points Smartest Choice: 50 development points/Kevin Garnett Why: Kevin Garnett is pretty loaded in this game so he's a good player to have on your team. Other than that, the 50 development points will help your create a player out a bit so it's really up to you. I went with the 50 development points just because I wouldn't start Kevin Garnett anyways. How To Win: The Timberwolves are a pretty easy team to beat. I didn't feel challanged at all when I was playing them. Kevin Garnett is their only good player. Watch out though, Garnett can shoot from anywhere he wants and make it. He can dunk, hit jump shots, or hit 3 pointers so he is a major threat. Other than that, there is no one else good to help him out. You should be able to win your first time against these guys. After beating the Timberwolves you move onto the Bucks. Team: Milwaukee Bucks Venue: The Loop Difficulty: * If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Ray Allen Glenn Robinson Sam Cassell Tim Thomas Rafer Aiston 50 development points Smartest Choice: 50 development points/Ray Allen Why: Ray Allen is a great shooter and is pretty good at everything else. He is a good guy to have on your team if you need a high scoring player. I chose not to go with him though because bonafide is just as good as him. I took the 50 development points to make my created player a little taller. How To Win: The Bucks are surprisingly an easy team to beat. I wasn't challenged at all the whole game and I held them to only one gamebreaker. Ray Allen is the only really good player on the team and all he can really do is shoot baskets. Sam Cassell is pretty weak defensively so drive the ball on him most of the time. You should be able to win your first time. After beating the Bucks you move onto the Pistons. Team: Detroit Pistons Venue: The Loop Difficulty: ** If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Jerry Stackhouse Joe Smith Ben Wallace Chucky Atkins Corliss Williamson 50 development points Smartest Choice: 50 development points/Jerry Stackhouse Why: Jerry Stackhouse is a good player that can hit twos, dunks, and three pointers when he needs to hit them. He is a nice player to have on your team so it is a good choice to have him on it. I decided to take the 50 development points but it's really up to you. How To Win: It took me two tries to beat the Pistons and the only reason I won was because I had a gamebreaker. Jerry Stackhouse is a great player and can hurt you from all over the court. If you can stop him then you can win the Pistons. Ben Wallace is a good shot blocker and can rebound pretty good but is not good at shooting. You can probably win the Pistons on your first or second try. After beating the Pistons you move onto the Pacers. Team: Indiana Pacers Venue: The Loop Difficulty: N/A (I would think ** though) If you win: 1 NBA Player NOTE: I did not play the Pacer because I am the Pacers in the circuit. You don't have to play the team you are when you play in the circuit. You will have to play the Pacers if you choose another team. You can choose from these NBA Players: Jalen Rose Reggie Miller Jermaine O'Neal Austin Croshere Travis Best 50 development points Smartest Choice: 50 development points/Reggie Miller Why: Reggie Miller is an unstoppable 3 point shooter so he is a good player to have on your team. Personally, I wouldn't choose him though because that's all he is good for. How To Win: The Pacers are a good 3 point shooting team so beware of Reggie Miller and Jalen Rose. Jermaine O'Neal does the rebounding for the team but he's not that tall. I didn't play the Pacers but I figure that you can probably beat them on your first or second try. After beating the Pacers you move onto the Cavaliers. Team: Cleveland Cavaliers Venue: The Loop Difficulty: * If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Zydrunas Ilgauskas Clarence Weatherspoon Andre Miller Jim Jackson Lamond Murray 50 development points Smartest Choice: 50 development points Why: Easy decision. Go with the 50 development points and never think twice about it. How To Win: The Cavaliers are a very easy team to beat. I actually beat them by 8 points which was a pretty big blowout. I used bonafide, Biggs, and my created player who is now 7 foot tall. This should be an easy win for everyone who tries to beat these guys. After beating the Cavaliers you move onto Street Challenge #5. Team: Takashi Venue: Yakatomi Plaza Difficulty: * If you win: A New Court - "yakatomi plaza" A New Character - "takashi" 100 Create Player Development Points Smartest Choice: N/A Why: You don't get to choose anything because everything is just handed to you. How To Win: Takashi himself is a really good dunker and blocker. The guy in the red jump suit can dunk and block really good too. The small guy is the guy you want to pick on. Give the ball to bonafide to let him tear the small guy up. The team I used was bonafide, Biggs, and my created player. The game was pretty close but I won on my first turn. You should be able to win on your first try too. After beating Takashi you move onto Region #6. Region: #6 Description: Region #5 has the Seattle Sonics, Portland Blazers, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Golden State Warriors, and the Sacramento Kings in it. Team: Seattle Sonics Venue: Fort Point Difficulty: ** If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Gary Payton Rashard Lewis Vin Baker Patrick Ewing Desmond Mason 50 development points Smartest Choice: 50 development points Why: Gary Payton is a great NBA player but with the high calibur players you have on your team already he is not needed. Go with the 50 development points and laugh about Patrick Ewing's jumpshot. How To Win: I beat the Sonics on my first turn but they were pretty good so I decided to give them two stars. Gary Payton is a great 3 point shooter/dunker so beware of him. This team plays with a lot of heart and they will keep the game close the whole game. I cut Biggs from my starting team and put in Takashi instead because of the extra height. He's really good at shot blocking and rebounding. After beating the Sonics you move onto the Blazers. Team: Portland Blazers Venue: Fort Point Difficulty: ** If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Rasheed Wallace Scottie Pippen Damon Stoudamire Steve Smith Dale Davis 25 development points Smartest Choice: 25 development points Why: Rasheed Wallace is a very good blocker but Biggs can probably take the job away from him. There's only 25 development points but it's still better then Rasheed Wallace. Go with the 25 points. How To Win: Rasheed Wallace is a very good shot blocker and rebounder. Damon Stoudamire and Scottie Pippen can hit three pointers. If all of these guys are on then you are in trouble. Luckily, I shot down Pippen's game and Rasheed had to take most of the shots. I won because they didn't get their gamebreaker when they were in the red turbo zone. Easy team to beat but you may lose the first time. After beating the Blazers you move onto the Lakers. Team: Los Angeles Lakers Venue: Fort Point Difficulty: *** If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Shaquille O'Neal Kobe Bryant Derek Fisher Horace Grant Robert Horry 50 development points Smartest Choice: 50 development points/Shaquille O'Neal/Kobe Bryant Why: This is really a toss up. If you want a good center pick Shaquille O'Neal. If you want a good guard pick Kobe Bryant because he's talented at everything. If you don't need any pick the 50 development points. I picked the 50 development points because Biggs and Takashi do the job for center and bonafide does the job for guard. It's really up to you though. How To Win: The Lakers are probably the best team so far. I beat them on my 2nd turn but it was a crazy game that I shouldn't have won. Shaquille O'Neal can block almost everything in his area so don't go by him. Kobe Bryant can almost make all of his shots so don't let him shoot. That leaves Derek Fisher who is deadly from 3 point land but sucks at defense. Try to let bonafide gang up on his on offense and let your created player guard Kobe. I won by blocking one of their gamebreakers and letting them shoot a one pointer for the other gamebreaker. It might take some time to beat this team so be patient. After beating the Lakers you move onto the Clippers. Team: Los Angeles Clippers Venue: Fort Point Difficulty: * If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Lamar Odom Darius Miles Michael Olowokandi Corey Maggette Keyon Dooling 50 development points Smartest Choice: 50 development points Why: Michael Olowokandi...Make sure you get him...haha just kidding. That guy sucks but he seems like he always gets picked first at everything. Stick to the 50 development points on this one. How To Win: The Clipper are a very easy team to beat. It's actually nice to get a break from some competitive teams. If you got this far, you shouldn't have any trouble with the Clippers on your first turn. After beating the Clippers you move onto the Warriors. Team: Golden State Warriors Venue: Fort Point Difficulty: * If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Antawn Jamison Larry Hughes Marc Jackson Mookie Blaylock Danny Fortson 50 development points Smartest Choice: 50 development points Why: I've lived in the Bay Area all my life and before even looking at these people I know they suck. Antawn Jamison seems good but trust me, if he was good then the Warriors wouldn't be one of the worse teams every single year. How To Win: This is another very easy team to beat. I killed the Warriors 21-10 the first time I played them. There's no real strategy in killing these guys just make sure you play like you usually do. You better win your first time because this is probably the easiest team out there! After beating the Warriors you move onto the Kings. Team: Sacramento Kings Venue: Fort Point Difficulty: ** If you win: 1 NBA Player You can choose from these NBA Players: Chris Webber Jason Williams Peja Stojakovic Vlade Divac Doug Christie 25 development points Smartest Choice: 25 development points Why: Chris Webber is overrated in the NBA and in this game. He's not that good of a player and there is a lot of better power forwards in the game. Go with the development points over him. How To Win: I won the first time I played these guys but I should have lost. I stole the ball when their turbo meter was on red and hit a 2 pointer to win. Chris Webber can dunk pretty good and Jason Williams and Peja Stojakovic can shoot 3 pointers. Overall, this team is good and they should give you a run for your money your first time playing them. After beating the Kings you move onto Street Challenge #6. Team: Stretch Venue: Rucker Point Difficulty: **** If you win: A New Court - "rucker park" A New Character - "stretch" 100 Create Player Development Points Smartest Choice: N/A Why: You don't get to choose anything because everything is just handed to you. How To Win: By far this is the hardest team to beat so far. Stretch is a great shooter, rebounder, and blocker. The guy in the blue is a good dunker and blocker. The short guy is a great dribbler and stealer. Combine, they are almost unstoppable. They will get several gamebreakers in the game because they do a lot of fancy dunks. All I can say is play your heart out. I shot more 2s then I usually do and for some reason they fell. A lot of my shots went in that shouldn't have and that's how I beat this team. They are a very tough team to beat and may make your winning record look bad. After beating Stretch you move onto Final Challenge. Team: MJ Venue: Rucker Park Difficulty: ***** If you win: your choice of any special player from the secret teams. a new team - "street legends" 19 new gameplay cheats You Can Choose From These Special Players: Magma Man Graylien Alien Yeti Snowman Moby Jones Zoe Payne Tracey Maretti Kiely Naturi Adrienne Skip To My Lou The Goods Starbury Smartest Choice: Yeti Snowman Why: He's 8 feet tall. Enough said. How To Win: This is the hardest team in the game by far. If you thought Stretch was a hard team wait until you play MJ. The team I used was full of height. I had Stretch in there, my created player who is 7 feet tall, and Takashi. All the players on MJ are extremely good and can make shots from anywhere. Also, they can steal and block shots even though they aren't tall. I hit major 2 pointers in the game to pull out the victory. When they got their gamebreaker I let them have an open lane to the basket so they wouldn't get a 2 pointer. I did all the small things I did before and combined them altogether to beat this team. Stick with a tall team for rebounding, it's your only chance. After beating MJ you win the City Circuit. When you beat the City Circuit the first emblem lights up in your stats. --------------------------------- 6: Hold The Court --------------------------------- Hold The Court Mode is a one or two player mode of play. Here I have listed all the court objectives and what you get when you clear them. Also, I have listed my strategy of how to do each objective and a rating key to tell you how hard it is. The Rating Key is based on mad skill difficulty. ============== Rating Key ============== 1 Star (*)............Extremely easy should complete first time. 2 Stars (**)..........Easy, shouldn't take you more then two tries to complete. 3 Stars (***).........This might take 5 tries to win before completing. Not hard but not easy. 4 Stars (****)........These are rare but they come up. This might take some time so sit down and concentrate. 5 Stars (*****).......If you can do this then you know you are good. Have fun trying to win. ======================================================================= Note ======================================================================= Playing against a friend will get you development points and things like that but I did not do that to get the objectives. That's pretty cheap if you plug in another controller and pretend someone else is playing and just score points off no one. Also, the development points vary because it depends on how many points you get in the game. I listed the number of development points I got while playing. ======================================================================= Note ======================================================================= --------------------------------- Venue: Pacific Blvd. Location: Vancouver, British Columbia --------------------------------- Court Objectives: Win Streak: 2 games Trick Point Total: 200,000 If You Get The Trick Point Total: 15 Create Player Development Points A New Create A Player Look A New Create Player Outfit A New Pair of Create Player Shoes Difficulty: * How To Get The Trick Point Total: 200,000 points is pretty easy to get always.

It's not hard to win 3 games in a row if you do this. For the first game concentrate on getting trick points so you can break the total. If you break the trick point total then all you have to do is concentrate on points the next two games.

I got it my first time but I made it 2 stars because I only cleared it by 4,000. To get 350,000 do a lot of dinners served, blocks, and get two gamebreakers. Both of the gamebreakers should be dunks and one should be at the end of the game so you bust the rim with it. That's how you get 350,000 points.

I got it in my 3rd game by doing two gamebreakers (both of them were dunks - 50,000 a peice) and a lot of alley-oops and dinners served. Also, on the last point I did an alley-oop which smashed the rim so I got an extra 52,000 points which give me 427,540 points. It might take you a few games to do but that's fine because you have to win four games straight anyway. If You Get The Win Streak: 15 Create Player Development Points A New Create Player Look A New Create Player Outfit A New Pair of Create Player Shoes Difficulty: *** How To Get The Win Streak: Winning another 4 in a row is a bit tough against these guys. I tried to get the trick point total the first time but it didn't work. I had to get it the 3rd time I played so I had to concentrate both on trick points and the score. The fourth game wasn't hard because all I had to do was play. Try to do that and you will win. Also, the team I used consisted of Taskashi, Yeti Snowman, and Future, my created player.

After getting 400,000 points you shouldn't have a problem getting 450,000 points. To get 450,000 points you need to get two gamebreakers and use a dunk for both of them. Use a lot of alley-oops and a smashed rim at the end of the game. Also, do a lot of tricks while you are on offense and get a lot of blocks when you are on defense. If you are winning by a lot just take wild shots so they won't go in and you'll get more time to do more tricks. It works and it's effective to get this kind of points.

I decided to run you through street school myself instead of you having to read what to do on the screen. Here I have all the lessons you would get in Street School and all the tips they give you. Hope this helps. Lesson 1/15 - Pass To pass the ball, press X. Hold a direction while passing to select the intended receiver. Tip: Use care when passing over long distances and while in traffic to avoid having the ball stolen. Lesson 2/15 - Turbo To receive a boost of speed, hold down any of the four turbo buttons (L1, L2, R1, R2) while pressing a direction to move your player. Tip: Turbo makes your player move faster, and is used to pull off trick moves. When you hold down turbo or preform a trick move, the Turbo Bar decreases. Try to save your turbo when you need it the most. Lesson 3/15 - Short Range Shot Move the ball to a player inside the 3pt line. To shoot the ball press Circle. Tip: Try to shoot the ball when your player is open and away from defenders. This increases your chances of hitting the shot. Lesson 4/15 - Steal Try to stay close to the ball carrier on defense to be in position to steal the ball. To swipe the ball, press square. The closer you are to the ball, the greater your chance of getting the steal. Tip: Trying for a steal momentarily takes your player out of the play. Time your steal attempts carefully to increase your chances of success. Lesson 5/15 - Long Range Shot Move the ball to a player just outside the 3pt line. To shoot he ball from long range, press circle. Tip: Long range shots are worth 2 points. Always try to shoot with a player who has a high 3pt rating. Lesson 6/15 - Pump Fake Move the ball to a player in shooting position. To pump fake your defender, quickly tap and release circle. Tip: Use a pump fake to get your defender up in the air, then drive past him for an easy basket. Lesson 7/15 - Dunk Drive the ball toward the basket to try a dunk To dunk the ball, hold any turbo and press circle while moving toward the basket. Tip: Dunks usually require an open lane to the basket. Dunk success depends on the player's dunking rating and the proximity of nearby defenders. Try to avoid mid-air collisions with defenders, or you may lose the ball. Lesson 8/15 - Block Try to stay close to the ball carrier on defense to be in position to block his shot. To jump up for the block press circle or triangle. Tip: Timing and position are the keys to blocking shots. Try swatting shots using players with a high blocking rating. They can jump higher and are more likely to block the ball. Lesson 9/15 - Trick Move To preform a trive move, press square. Tip: Trick moves can be used to get past defenders on your way to the basket. They also earn valuable trick points. Lesson 10/15 - Alley-oop To set up an alley-oop you need to draw the defense. Try dribbling around the 3pt line and watch for your teammate to shake off his defender. Your teammate is jumping up for an alley-oop. To pass him the ball, press X. Tip: Proper timing is important in completing an alley-oop. If you pass too late, the defense may recover and your pass may not get through. Lesson 11/15 - Fake Out Drive the ball towards your defender to try to fake him out with a trick move. To fake out your defender using a trick move, press square while moving towards him. When a defender is faked out, the crown symbol is displayed with the move name at the top of the screen. Tip: Your chance of faking out a defender is based on the ball carrier's handle rating. You can increase the chance of faking a defender out by using advanced trick moves. Lesson 12/15 - Advanced Trick Move Advanced trick moves are preformed using specific button combinations. To preform the slip 'n slide move, hold L2 + R1 + R2 and press square. Tip: Advance trick moves require a high handle rating to puill off. If a player's handle rating is too low, he may lose the ball. Try different combinations of L1, L2, R1, R2 and square to find advanced trick moves. Lesson 13/15 - Dish Move the ball to a player in shooting position to preform a mid-air dish. Tip: A dish can be used to avoid being blocked when you see a defender about to swat your shot. Dishing the ball to a teammate for an easy basket will earn you a combo bonus. Lesson 14/15 - Combo Combos allow you to use the skill you've learned to score big trick point bonuses. Move the ball down court and into shooting position. To earn a combo bonus, fake your defender out using a trick move, then quickly dunk the ball. This is tricky and will require practice to master. Tip: Link together steals, blocks, fakeouts, dishes, alley-oops, and other actions. The flashier the combo, the bigger the trick poiint bonus. Linking combos is the key to powering your boost meter. Lesson 15/15 - Gamebreaker Your Gamebreaker meter is now full. Bring the ball down court and into shooting position. A Gamebreaker gives your player a big bonus to shoot or dunk, and can be used quickly to turn a game around. To unleash your Gamebreaker hold any two turbo buttons and press circle. Tip: A Gamebreaker scores points for your team and takes the same number of points away from your opponent. Learn to use Gameebreakers to your advantage if you want to master NBA Street. Other Tips: Shot Clock The shot clock appears when you are running out of time to shoot. If you fail to shoot the ball before time expires, a shot clock violation will occur and you will lose the ball. Player Indicator The player indicator shows whether or not a player is within a comfortable shooting range of the basket. Green is within the players range, yellow is at the edges of the players range, and red is outside the players range.

Well, I know you have but you probably haven't noticed it. I decided to type out all the Street Tips that the game tells you so you don't have to search for them yourself. If you find anymore that I don't have listed feel free to e-mail me with it. Enter a user id to track progress, build a team, and develop your create player. Save your progress, so you can play later. Keep a close eye on the shot clock. If you hold the ball for too long, it will cost your team momentum. Joe "The Show" has a shot like butter. Pump-fake when you catch the ball on the perimeter. If your defender leaves his feet, drive the ball hard to the basket for an easy score. They key to defeating Biggs is to hit perimeter shots, and use quicks to combat his power. When he's got the ball, make him shoot it from outside. Size is an advantage on the streets. Big men have an easier time shooting, rebounding and blocking. Picks are a great way to create room for a long-distance shot and to set up alley-oops. Try to run your defender into the player providing the pick. Blocks and steals are important to your team momentum. Ending the game with a dunk will bust the rim. Takashi was a gymnast until he grew too big to tumble. Advanced tricks and dunks are worth more points than the basic ones. Learn the control combos for these moves to earn big bonuses. Conserve your turbo. You'll need it for trick moves and dunks. Clear out after an offensive rebound to knock your defender over. Then you can easily drain the open shot. Off the inbound, quikcly pass it to the front man for a little one-on-one. The longer you hold the court, the tougher the competition gets. After a steal or block, quickly puss the ball down court for a transition basket, and you can score a combo bonus. --------------------------------- 10: Offensive Strategy --------------------------------- Offense is really important in any basketball game and that holds for NBA Street. It's simple, if you can't score you won't win. After playing numerous games of NBA Street I came up with an unstoppable strategy. I can basically be any team and win my friends or the computer all the time. When choosing a team make sure you pick a good three pointer team. Usually, I go with the Indiana Pacers or the Milwaukee Bucks. Make sure you don't choose two guards because then rebounding will become a problem. If you have a player who is unstoppable at three pointers (i.e. Reggie Miller, Ray Allen) then let them shoot the ball whenever they are even slightly open. Usually, I go for dunks most of the time because it gets me a lot more trick points. Before I shoot though, I do as many trick points as I can. Then when the shot clock is ticking down I throw it to my big center and then another player on the other team will guard him. He will be double covered so then I throw it over to my point guard to take the open perimeter shot. This works like a charm if the center or power forward is double covered. If they are playing man on man coverage then take your best dunker in and just jam on them all the time. It's not hard if you have a powerful dunker. Some dunks that I use a lot are Dinners Served and the double alley-oop. The double alley-oop will get you around 20,000 points which will fill up your boost bar a lot. You can't really control when it's going to happen but when one person goes up for an alley-oop and then you see another person jump up after him then you know it's your chance. Pass it to the guy in mid-air and then pass it while in mid-air to the other player. He will come down and dunk it. Even if you can't do the double alley-oop the alley-oop is a very good play to use. The alley-oop will regulary get you close to 11,000 points if you do a combo with it. The combo can be a steal, a fake-out, a block, or anything in that matter. Remember when you do more things before you score, you get more combinations, which will make you get more trick points for getting the basket. If you are having trouble getting shots off the pump fake works really good. Not only does the pump fake help you get free from your defender, it can let you drive in to the hole for an open shot. If you can't get a shot, make a shot. It's as simple as that. Another thing I do on offense a lot is the slip 'n slide. This is the best dribble to get past your defender and it's actually very simple. If you trick out your defender while doing it, you'll get 3,000 points which is really nice. To preform Dinner's Served make sure you are wide open at the free throw line. Start running and tap all four turbo buttons and the circle. If you pull it off you will get a lot of points but it's kind of dangerous to do because it can get blocked a lot. Some important things to make sure you don't do is never to stop in one spot and just dribble. This will make it very easy for the person on defense to steal the ball. Also, never go for wild shots because 99 percent of the time they won't fall. If you are losing by a lot it's worse to take a 2 point shot from a center then to just dunk the ball. You know that most of the centers can't drain 2 point shots so why even try? I hope that this strategy helps you a bit when playing offense. If you need any extra help feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]. I will be happy to help you more on offense if you need it. --------------------------------- 11: Defensive Strategy --------------------------------- Defense is very key in all basketball games. I feel that in NBA Street defense is more important then everything. NBA Street forces you to use the blocks if you want to be good at the game. A lot of other games overlook blocks which makes NBA Street a lot more difficult to get good at. Here I decided to go over my defensive strategy I use. On defense, you always want at least one tall player to grab rebounds and to hover in the paint. If you got one guy in the paint at all time then he can block shots from there and get the rebounds. Usually, I go with man on man coverage. Being that I use a tall team, I have a tall guy on each player. This makes it so the player will have to pump fake which a lot of players don't do. The guy in the middle will block all the shots that aren't high. If you get use to the man on man coverage you can stop anyone. Also, on defense don't be too aggressive. If you are too aggressive the player will do a lot more tricks and that will kill you. Only go for the steal if you think you have a 50 percent chance of stealing the ball. If you go for the steal and you miss it, the player can run right pass you and have an open shot to the basket. The block is a lot more effective in the game then the steal, and it gives you a lot more points. When you expect the player to shoot the ball jump up. If he pump fakes you don't worry because your big tall guy in the center will have a chance to block the ball also. Never double cover only on gamebreaker because it will leave a player open. If your opponent has a gamebreaker or is close to getting one let him have an open basket. If he's close to getting one and you don't let him fake you out or anything then he won't get as many points for scoring. If your player has a gamebreaker and you steal the ball, hold on to the ball as long as you can. Try running down his gamebreaker because the gamebreaker does have a time limit on it. Also, on defense try to make your player waste a lot of clock. If the shot clock is at 5 and you swat his shot don't pick it up. Let him run over to the ball and get the shot clock violation which not only gives you the ball but makes his trick meter fall. All these smalls things combine will help you become a much better player in NBA Street. If you have any additional defensive questions feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]. --------------------------------- 12: Blocking Strategy --------------------------------- Blocking is the most effective strategy in NBA Street if you need to get the ball. Set up your defense so one player is in the middle of the key and each other guy is on a man. When you expect your opponent to shoot jump up and swat the shot. If he pump fakes you then move your other opponent up and swat his shot when he actually shoots. I usually get about 5 blocks per game. On dunks, time the block perfectly by blocking when the player is at the height of his jump. This will swat the ball right before he puts it in the basket. Occasionally, if you have a strong player, it will just push the player away from the basket causing him to drop the ball. Blocking is a key element to master in NBA Street and it's pretty self-explanatory. If you have any other questions on blocking, feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]. --------------------------------- 13: Stealing Strategy --------------------------------- Stealing is very easy to do in NBA Street if you have a good stealer. Don't try stealing with your center or anyone that doesn't have a good stealing rating because it won't work. When you steal the ball, make sure you go right up to the guy and and try to steal the ball. If you try stealing from too far away, you'll miss the ball totally. If you go way too close, before you can press steal the offensive player will already be past you. Stealing is a pretty dangerous thing to do because if you miss the ball then it freezes your guy for a split second giving the other player a chance to drive right past you. Also, note that stealing only gives you 1,000 points while blocking gives you 2,500 points. --------------------------------- 14: Gamebreaker Strategy --------------------------------- The Gamebreaker is a huge factor in NBA Street. If you don't do enough tricks you'll never get it but if you depend on it too much you might be disappointed. The Gamebreaker gives you either a 2 point change or a 4 point change in score if you pull it off. If you dunk on gamebreaker you will get 50,000 points but you will only get one point and your opponent's score will only drop one point. If you hit a 2 pointer on gamebreaker you will get 25,000 points and you will get 2 points and your opponents score will drop 2 points. When dunking with the gamebreaker it is usually an automatic basket. If you shoot 2s with the gamebreaker then there is some room to mess up. First off, never shoot 2s with your center even on gamebreaker. There's a good chance that he will still miss the shot and your gamebreaker will go off. Also, make sure you aren't guarded by a taller player when you take your shot. If you get swatted, your gamebreaker will be over. Usually, I don't pump fake on gamebreaker I just slip 'n slide over my opponent first to knock him down and then run back to the 2 point line and hit the basket. It's good if you use a created player that's tall and good at hitting 2 pointers because then it is almost impossible to stop him. Make sure that you don't run out of time while doing your gamebreaker because then it will end. If your opponent has their gamebreaker and you have the ball run out the clock fully and then launch a long shot from the other side of the court. It will usually touch the rim if you shoot it with a 2 point shooter. While the ball is in flight, take control of your center and jump up for the rebound. If you get the rebound, run down the clock again and then your opponent will lose their gamebreaker. It's a cheap thing to do but if you want to win you have to do it. Other than that, there is really no more strategies on gamebreakers. --------------------------------- 15: Secret Courts --------------------------------- There are 9 secret courts in the game and 12 courts altogether.

--------------------------------- There are 6 street legends in the game. Here I have listed all the names of the players with a brief description on them. Street Legend.......................Biggs Real Name...........................Lewis Barker Age.................................27 Height..............................6'9" Weight..............................255 Pounds Hometown............................London, England Currently Resides...................Boston, Massachusettes Nationality.........................British Blood Type..........................A+ Occupation..........................Doorman Additional Sports/Hobbies...........Boxing, Snowboarding, Soccer Playing Style.......................Physical Banger Baller Bio: Stronger then a cup of two-day-old espresso and built like a heavyweight prizefighter, Biggs is the definition of blue-collar. What he lacks in pure talent he more than makes up for in hard work and never-say-die attitude. This 6'9" monster will fight for every rebound and challenges every shot while prowling the lane like a man posessed. Think you can keep him out of the paint? Unlikely - he'll muscle you aside and dunk it on ya. But because he's so polite, he might just thank you. Street Legend.......................Bonafide Real Name...........................Carlito Vargas Age.................................18 Height..............................5'10" Weight..............................160 Pounds Hometown............................Bronx, New York Currently Resides...................Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Nationality.........................Dominican Blood Type..........................B Occupation..........................Aspiring Rapper Additional Sports/Hobbies...........Lowriders Playing Style.......................Arrogant Playmaker Baller Bio: This fiery little Latino can ball with the best of them. Bonafide's got more game than a toy store. With ankle-breaking moves and phat passing skills to boot, he moves faster with the ball than everyone else without it. How quick is he? He'll break you down before you can even think about reacting. And then he'll do it again. At the other end of the floor, Bonafide developed into a defensive stopper, locking up guys tighter than Fort Knox. He also brings a wicked outside shot to the table, making his skills truly "Bonafide." Street Legend.......................Drake Real Name...........................Drake Evans Age.................................19 Height..............................6'2" Weight..............................185 Pounds Hometown............................Grosse Point, Michigan Currently Resides...................Detroit, Michigan Nationality.........................American Blood Type..........................AB Occupation..........................Aspiring D.J. Additional Sports/Hobbies...........Sport Bikes Playing Style.......................Pure Shooter Baller Bio: You don't have to like Drake, but you'd better respect his skills. That means stepping out every time he catches the rock, otherwise he'll be busting his sweet jumper and telling you about it all the way back down court. Drake comes with grade A skills. His jumper's butter smooth with range for days, and he can knock it down with a man in his face. He loves setting up on the 3-point line and draining buckets, filling up the basket like he's preparing a picnic. There aren't many better than Drake at getting under a player's skin. He's about as cocky as they come, and he'll give you an ear-full every time he scores. Street Legend.......................DJ Real Name...........................Donovan Jones Age.................................24 Height..............................6'7" Weight..............................212 Pounds Hometown............................Trench Town, Jamaica Currently Resides...................Venice, California Nationality.........................Jamaican Blood Type..........................A Occupation..........................Taxi Driver Additional Sports/Hobbies...........Soccer Playing Style.......................Above the Rim Baller Bio: Give this Jamaican high flyer a lane and you better flee the scene quick, 'cause he's about to stuff the rock with authority. DJ's got more bounce than a hip hop video. With a seemingly endless repertoire of jams, DJ looks to take it to the hole every trip down the floor. This legend soars high above the rim, but there's more to his game than just the monster dunk. He can hurt you all kinds of ways. Whether he's shooting the rock from the outside, or breaking guys off the dribble, DJ is flashy and smooth and he loves making player look silly. He'll throw down on anybody at anytime. Street Legend.......................Takashi Real Name...........................Takashi Sato Age.................................21 Height..............................7'8" Weight..............................270 Pounds Hometown............................Yokohama, Japan Currently Resides...................Los Angeles, California Nationality.........................Japanese Blood Type..........................B Occupation..........................Student Additional Sports/Hobbies...........Kickboxing, Gymnastics Playing Style.......................Shot-swatter Supreme Baller Bio: There's no overlooking this big fella...7'8" of shot blocking intensity. Takashi is looking to reject every shot that comes his way, protecting the basket like it was his family. His height allows him to dunk the ball for easy baskets, and his long arms suck up rebounds like a vacuum, but Takashi lives to swat shots. Don't even bother shooting if you see him nearby, 'cause he'll send the ball back faster than a Japanese bullet train. Street Legend.......................Stretch Real Name...........................Clifford Monroe Age.................................46 Height..............................6'11" Weight..............................247 Pounds Hometown............................Harlem, New York Currently Resides...................Brooklyn, New York Nationality.........................African American Blood Type..........................0+ Occupation..........................School Teacher Additional Sports/Hobbies...........Distance Running Playing Style.......................Old-school Finesse Baller Bio: This cool cat is one of the best players never to have played in the NBA. Originally hailing from East Harlem, Stretch made his first mark on the parks and playgrounds of New York City. He'll amaze you with his arsenal of old-school hooks and finger-rolls, gliding gracefully to the hoop with his long, lean frame. Young bucks keep trying to take the old man, but his silky skills and basketball savvy have left Stretch undefeated after all these years. Every year he grows older, he gets a little wiser. --------------------------------- 18: Secret Cheats --------------------------------- Here are all the cheats that you can unlock in NBA Street.

--------------------------------- 19: Top 5 NBA Teams --------------------------------- Here are the Top 5 NBA Teams in my opinion for NBA Street. Ranking.........5 Team Name.......Orlando Magic Explanation: The Magic are a great team in this game for two reason. Tracy McGrady and Grant Hill. McGrady is one of the best players in the game because he can hurt you from anywhere. Hill is a great shooter. Together this team packs a lot talent and will always put up a great challenge. Ranking.........4 Team Name.......Portland Blazers Explanation: The Blazers are excellent in NBA Street. Rasheed Wallace is dominate down low and Scottie Pippen and Damon Stoudamire can shoot from all over the court. Throw in Steve Smith for a great extra player and you have an overall perfect team. Ranking.........3 Team Name.......Los Angeles Lakers Explanation: Number 3 you ask? A lot of people would put the Lakers as the best team in the game. I don't think that's true but they are a excellent team to use. Shaquille O'Neal is overpowering in the paint and Kobe Bryant is a great shooter. Horace Grant, Robert Horry, and Derek Fisher are also good players to have on the court. Ranking.........2 Team Name.......Milwaukee Bucks Explanation: Ray Allen is probably the best player in the game. He can make shots from everywhere all the time. He also plays exceptional defense and what he lacks in size he makes up in speed. Even though the Bucks aren't that tall of a team, they still get the job done all the time. Ranking.........1 Team Name.......Indiana Pacers Explanation: In my opinion, the Indiana Pacers are the best team in the game. Reggie Miller is an incredible 3 point shooter and Jalen Rose is great all around. Throw in Jermaine O'Neal for rebounds and you got the greatest team in the game. --------------------------------- 20: Unstoppable Team --------------------------------- This is the unstoppable team section in my guide. Here I have listed my unstoppable team. If you want your team to be up here, send me an e-mail with the three players you use and I'll post it with your e-mail address. My Three Players: Yeti Snowman Future (Created Player Maxed Out) Drake Yeti Snowman is a great rebounder and shot blocker. Keep him in the paint and he'll block almost everything that is shot. Future is maxed out in all stats and he weighs 350 pounds and is 8 feet tall. He can shoot 2s all day long. He'll never get blocked either. Drake is a Street Legend who can shoot jays all day long. If he has no one in his face you can expect his 2s to go in 95 percent of the time. With all three players on the court at one time, this team never losses. --------------------------------- 21: High Scores --------------------------------- Here are the high scores in my game.

--------------------------------- 23: Personal Review --------------------------------- I didn't know what to think of NBA Street when I read the reviews online. Even though it got really high scores I didn't think I would like the concept of the game. When I went over my friends house and saw how great the game was I wanted to buy the game right when I got home. NBA Streetz is probably the best basketball game out there on the market. It has a mix of SSX in it, a spice of NBA Hoopz, and it still keeps the concept of basketball. EA Sports BIG really created a great game for the Playstation 2 console. Graphics: 9 The graphics in NBA Street are awesome. The player models look similiar to what the players look like in real life. The courts are beautifully designed with many different background images. The whole game runs very smooth and I never see any slow down except when the tip off happens. Also, the different combos you do look extrememly sweet when you do some of the cooler combos. Overall, you couldn't ask for better graphics in a arcade-like basketball game. Gameplay: 10 Gameplay-wise, NBA Street outshines all the other basketball games out there on the market. Not only can you be all the NBA teams in the league, you can play with legends, 3LW, the SSX team, and teams that you created. The statistic system is awesome tracking all your wins, losses, trick points, etc. There are diffedrent modes of play where you can unlock courts and hidden players. The thing that makes NBA Street so different from other basketball games is there is no game clock. The player who scores 21 points first wins. Doing trick points will raise your special bar and when that maxes out and you make a shot it adds 2 points to your score and deducts 1 point to your opponents score. If you hit a 3 pointer it actually can bring you from being down by 1 to up by 3. The AI in this game is also great and is pretty hard when you sit the game on the highest difficulty level. Control: 10 Control in NBA Street is excellent. When I first picked up the game I got use to the controls before the first game was over. Basically, there is a shoot button, pass button, special button, and four turbo buttons. When you combine buttons together you make special shots and things like that. There is a block button and steal button on defense which is extremely necessary to use. The block button is basically a jump but instead the guy swats his hand in the air. This is the most effective way of getting the ball from your opponent. Also, there is a dive button and a couple other trick buttons that you can use in the game. Overall, you couldn't ask for me in the control section for NBA Street. Sound: 8 The worse part of the game is probably the sound which isn't bad at all. The only thing that I don't really like about the sound is that the announcer doesn't say that many witty comments like they do in most of the other basketball games. It seems like the announcer says the same thing over and over again which can get annoying after a while. Other than that, the announcer is pretty cool. The sound could have been a little better but still does not hamper the overall score for NBA Street. Overall: 10 Now you are probably wondering where you should buy this game. I wouldn't order it online because it would take at least a day to get there which will prevent time from playing. Go out now and buy NBA Streetz even if you don't like basketball. This is a great basketball game which is overlooked by a lot of people now that Gran Turismo is out. Make sure you buy this game at any costs. --------------------------------- 24: Dunks/Tricks --------------------------------- Here are all the dunks/tricks that you can get in NBA Street.

Here I have listed those questions and the answers to the questions. Question: Who makes NBA Street? Answer: EA Sports BIG does. The same creators as SSX. Question: How many players do you get to play with? Answer: During the game, there is 3 players on each team. Question: I got NBA Hoopz over this game. Was that a good decision? Answer: No, NBA Street is so much better then NBA Hoopz. Even though NBA Hoopz is made by Midway, it seems like it's the same game that we were playing years ago. NBA Street has a fresh new style to it. Question: How many teams are in NBA Street? Answer: There's all the NBA teams plus many secret teams that you can unlock. Question: How do you dive in NBA Street? Answer: Tap any two turbos. Question: Why did you make this guide after the game was already out for a month? Answer: When I first got NBA Street, I was looking to see if there was any guides on the net. I thought if I found one, I would not make a guide because the guide would probably have all the information you would need in it. When I read over the guide, I found basically just cheats and basic strategies that anyone would know. I felt that I needed to do something about it so I decided to make a great guide on NBA Street. Question: Is there a Create-A-Player? Answer: Yes. Question: How many different game modes are in the game? Answer: Well if you count the practice mode there is three modes of play you can play in.

The only people I would like to thank is: Cheat Code Central (www.cheatcc.com) For supplying the codes! For supplying all the codes for this guide. Without them, there would be no codes for the game on this guide. --------------------------------- 27: Ways Of Contacting Me --------------------------------- There are a few ways that you contact me. E-mail: [email protected] If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions send them this way. I will usually respond in 12 hours or less. AIM: BenjaminCollecta If you have an urgent thing to say to me feel free to im me. I'm usually always signed online but sometimes I'm not there. I would like only people who want to chat with me about NCAA Football 2002 to im me under this sn. If you have any urgent questions then feel free to IM me here. You might not get a response though. Cell Phone: If you need to call me for some reason feel free to e-mail me and I'll give you my cell phone number. I'm not going to post it on the guide though because many people might bug me by calling it. This is for hardcore gamers who want to chat with me personally. --------------------------------- 28: Before You E-mail Me --------------------------------- Please don't e-mail me asking stupid questions or I won't respond. When I use to write strategy guides under a different name I would get 100's of e-mails asking the same question which I already answered in my FAQ. Don't think I'm being mean if I don't respond to your e-mail, it's just that I have many other FAQs and I get tons of e-mail a day. Also, if you want to e-mail me about the game please put in the Subject of the email NBA Street so I know what game I'm getting e-mailed about. If I just see hey or something like that, I might think it's porn and just delete it. Now if you write an educated e-mail to me, then for sure you will get a response. Thanks. --------------------------------- 29: Legal Information --------------------------------- Basically, for all the people that want to steal my information and put it on their website, FAQ, or anything like that can't.

This guide was as much fun to write as NBA Street is to play. I really hope that you guys enjoy this guide because I wanted a good guide on the net for NBA Street.
