NBA Street Vol 2 was released in 2003, but I played it in 2024 and it is still fun and amazing. I play the basketball career mode called be a legend. It's epic. You create a player and build your team as your progress with increasingly difficult pick up game challenges and tournaments. Let's have some fun!

I nominate Chuck Downfield for the Mount Rushmore of video game announcers

[@emmanuallewis74]

Save your gamebreaker because the double gamebreaker is an auto score because it's a cinematic shot for dunks, and three pointers also used multiple turbos to do different dunks and dribble moves. Dunks after multiple dribble moves give you more gamebreaker points so you can get more than one gamebreaker, a game, and a double gamebreaker gives you more points and takes more points away from the opponent.

[@joaquimrabinovitch]

[@davidrosensin7985]

You can definitely tell the people that were good at the game in these comments. I loved this game so much...I actually did a playthrough at the end of last year. Still funny when Drew said he was gonna max dunks and didn't crown it .

Still cite this as one of my all-time favorite games You could make a team with three different versions of Michael Jordan, and have them play against Nelly, Wilt Chamberlain, and Stretch Monroe on a rooftop court. It was like some crazy dream you have when you're sick and you take too much Nyquil and I loved everything about it

Why are game companies so damn lazy to make classic games like these are so fun despite how old they are

[@polsdofer]

Meanwhile you got people who emulate these old games for free

[@Square1production]

They're not lazy, the people in charge just presume that the number of people working on the project and the time it takes to develop both positively reflect on profitability. They don't and it's been essentially a coincidence that that strategy has worked out to this point. Having smaller teams of highly talented and motivated people, working for higher wages, making more targeted games will always work out better in the long term. Sure, sometimes a product will be a total miss, but that's not a disaster when they cost a quarter of what the major releases cost to make now, and they'll take less time to develop if there wasn't so much second guessing and trend chasing happening.

[@sp123]

@@Square1production arcade sports games don't make as much money as sim games like NBA 2K and Madden.

[@Square1production]

@@sp123The absolute revenue of a product is less important than the total profit it makes. A game that's made by 15 people in 3 years is going to cost less than one made by 200 in 9 years no matter how well you pay those 15. Releasing a lot of smaller, more focused products that don't need to capture the whole market to turn a profit, is in the long term, more profitable than taking a huge risk on a game you're hoping everyone will buy, and it doesn't hurt as much when the smaller games underperform.

Man I grew up playing this DAILY with my brothers and my friends. Watching you experience this for the first time has brought an incredible amount of joy and makes me want to break out the GameCube again. Keep trying out the street games. FIFA street has an amazing international playlist and the game play is miles better than FIFA's from the last 10 years

[@Dr.JeremyDunks]

Great choice! This was such a fun party game back in the day, too. It was easy to pick up and play and the controls were silk.

So much nostalgia. I played this game till it wouldn’t play anymore. This was my thing. Miss this game so much. Thank you NTE.

[@alexpadilla3543]

Theres a practice component to the game that teaches you screens, dribble moves, and also trick shots/trick pases

[@timothyfetterhoff1727]

Makes me want to play this again. Can't wait until you do a Level 2 Gamebreaker. Those are unstoppable.

[@thisisboring6645]

I remember playing this game religiously with my friends back in the day. We would string together ridiculous combos and then finish them off with a flashy dunk and literally fill the game breaker bar with one combo.

[@Jkev24]

Once you got handles mixed out on one guy and dunks on another, it was so fun to try to get those 1 bucket game breakers. Just sauce everyone up with some moves and then do a multi pass alley oop

[@bbbnn6796]

Love this game! And sooo grateful you are making a video on it....but you are scratching just the tip of the fun potential in this classic!. A couple of pointers from when me and my bro viciously perfected this game lol. The best playstyle is to get gamebreakers and make trick combos to break down the defense. In the beginning you'll want a specialty person in each area out of the three on your squad, preferably handles, blocks/rebounds, and of course dunking. As you go along every team will have all of the skills very high so it gets very tough, hence the gamebreaker advantage will save you. Handles is the BIGGEST skill you'll want to upgrade early on so you can do the advanced tricks. You'll have enough players on your squad who can dunk so I wouldn't stress the main player having that too early on but it doesn't hurt. Camp your best blocker under the basket on transition, you can goaltend and there is no foul or defensive violations so feel free to camp and block to your hearts content. Definitely upgrade your squad members as you go a little more often because you can't upgrade their attributes, and eventually they are going to be sliced like cheese (but I think you saw that one on the last game haha). And when you go for a dunk and one of your squad goes up for an oop, throw that for more combo points every time ...as this plus your handles leading up to it will combo ridiculous gamebreaker (I saw in the vid you did this towards the end, but trust me do it every time after a trick combo when they jump, also you can double pass if another player jumps again : '-)...I love this game ). Once you perfect the handles into alley oop side of it, or just handles into a regular dunk whichever option comes first, you will literally be getting at least two double gamebreakers a game. And the double gamebreaker is pure DOPENESS, can't wait for you to get that first one you'll freak out haha. The game is very very fun, me and my bro played the breaks off it...there are other things you can do to but I have probably written an essay, I'll end it here haha. Street ball V2 was a classic...and street ball V3....simply put is one of the best games ever made for the genre in my humble opinion.

[@KKGAllen]

This game was SO FIREE

Literally one of my favorite games ever! I played it for like 50 hours during covid lockdowns most recently.

[@JinghisKhan]

Please please do more of this! All time favorite game. Also quick and dirty tip on how to maximize a gamebreaker immediately: Use Off The Heazy (bounce ball off of opponents head) four times in a row and then go for a power dunk. It's something like 25k points in a single shot.

[@TheHuskyK9]

Posting this mid-watch, if you ever play this again, here are some tips: -Pressing different combinations of the shoulder buttons can make your player do different dunks and tricks. The more shoulder buttons you hold down, the harder the tricks/dunks. But be careful, if your player isn't leveled high enough, they can fail those tricks/dunks and turn the ball over. -To reach the second gamebreaker, you pocket the first one and then do more tricks/dunks to gain style points. Just playing normal basketball won't be enough to reach the 2nd gamebreaker. -The 2nd gamebreaker is worth more points and takes away more points from your opponent than the 1st. Could be worth the risk if you're in a close game. -When you're in the air for the layup/dunk and you see another teammate jump for the alley-oop, pass it to them mid-air for more style points than just a solo layup/dunk. Double and triple alley-oops gets you a lot of style points. -When using your dev points, you can go past 5 bars. The crown above the meter will shine gold when you truly maxed it out. So technically, it's 6 bars to max out a skill. -Finally, be sure to upgrade your team by stealing some of the other teams' players. The players you start with are gonna be too low-leveled to compete with better teams as you do more tournaments. You can also steal NBA players as well. You can only have a maximum of 5 players, so chose wisely

Would lead to you getting more game breakers and getting game breaker . Great seeing you even play it man

[@nothere9676]

small tips Drewski: pocketing your gamebreaker lets you get a guaranteed shot from as far as like halfcourt if you fill it up all the way AND if you press L1 and R1 and square, if someone is doing a trick, you can counter it

[@JonPITBZN]

When I did the Be a Baller mode, I put the most points into blocking. It made it way easier to beat teams that were better than mine. I didn't sweat rebounding so much because having a bunch of blocks got my gamebreaker bar up way faster than rebounds do I also made my player taller though

[@obe_green2426]

Great video. I loved this game as a kid

[@coryshannon3815]

I found on the NBA Street games, that I preferred (defensively) to load up on blocking stats, since you could stand under the rim, use turbo while blocking, basically commit goaltending, and just snatch the ball out of the air.😂 Glad to see NTE kind of went with that strategy as well

[@FATMOUTH-zm5zo]
