Aside from the standard pass and shoot buttons, you have a steal/trick button, a shot-blocking/rebounding jump, and four turbo buttons. But once you spend some time with the game, the control becomes second nature. As games are typically pretty close, the gamebreaker shots can really make the difference between winning and losing.Īt first, NBA Street's control scheme seems needlessly complex, especially if you're used to playing simpler games, such as NBA Jam or NBA Hoopz. For instance, landing a gamebreaker from outside the three-point line will give you two points and take two points away from the opposing team. The shot, if it drops, subtracts points from your opponents' score while adding to yours. Once the meter is full, you have a limited time to shoot one special shot that is almost guaranteed to land if your player is in range. Executing tricks also builds your gamebreaker meter.
The game also keeps track of your trick points, which are accumulated on defense by stealing balls and blocking shots and on offense by faking out defenders and scoring on various dunks and other shots. Outside of the shot clock violation, there are no fouls, and there are no quarters or other time limits. Shots from inside the three-point line count for one point, while shots outside it count for two. Games go to 21 points, though the winning team must win by two points. NBA Street is three-on-three street basketball.

Electronic Arts' latest PS2 offering, NBA Street, capitalizes on this fact, delivering a very NBA Jam-like game of street basketball that features enough well-designed differences to breathe life into Midway's stock formula. While the company's basketball offerings have always been fairly solid, there's definitely room for improvement.

The company takes a sport, breaks it down to a four-player match, adds a turbo button, creates some way to set your player on fire by accomplishing a task three times in a row, and includes a code to give your player a huge head. For years, Midway has been breaking the arcade-sports formula down to a science.
