Three-man gamebreaker dunks are new to the NBA Street series. These special passes can also be strung into your combos for maximum trick points and for building up your gamebreaker. You can even toss the ball off an opponent's foot, chest, or face. By combining turbo buttons and the pass button, you can humiliate defenders by throwing the ball off the backboard and back to yourself or to a teammate. There are other nifty tricks you can pull off that involve passes. The combos that garner the most points are the ones that actually manage to fake out your opponents, as opposed to the maneuvers you do just for show. Once you're satisfied that you've built a long enough string, you can wait for a teammate to pop high into the air for an alley-oop or you can take your own shot to finish off the combo. There's a helpful display at the top of the screen that shows you how many special moves you've got strung together. Their placement also makes playing the game on these platforms a bit more awkward than on the PS2.

It's worth noting that the PS2 version of the game uses the four shoulder buttons for turbo, whereas the Xbox and GameCube versions of the game only use three, making these versions of the game slightly less complex. Using the right analog stick not only allows you quick access to a larger array of tricks, but also makes the game feel smoother and less robotic than the previous trick system. The trick stick is a vast improvement over past NBA Street games, wherein you were required to press one or two trick buttons in order to execute a juke. You have to be careful with your jukes though if you try to do some of the fancier moves with a player who has a weak handle, you may end up tripping over yourself and turning over the ball. You'll have access to more-powerful jukes and shakes when you use the trick stick in combination with the turbo buttons on the controller.

The most significant tweak is the introduction of the "trick stick." You can execute a different kind of juke move with the ball by tapping the right analog stick in any of eight directions. The developers have made some core changes to the basic gameplay. Once you've got that meter filled, you can execute a "gamebreaker" shot or dunk, which will add points to your score and also take away from the opposing team's score. You'll need to string together a combination of jukes and shakes, punctuated with a made basket or an alley-oop slam in order to rack up trick points and build up your gamebreaker meter. Instead, you'll be using your slickest ball handlers to break ankles and drop dimes off to your finishers for rim-rattling dunks. You won't be running any high pick 'n' rolls or making backdoor Princeton cuts for layups. Although every NBA team is represented by a partial roster of players, make no mistake-this is blacktop basketball. NBA Street V3 is about the improvisation of blacktop basketball, not running set plays.įor those not as familiar with the series, the core game mode in NBA Street V3 is three-on-three, full-court, street basketball.

The addition of online play (on the PS2 and Xbox) and a compelling single-player career mode, as well as improvements to the basic game mechanics, make NBA Street V3 the new gold standard of arcade-style basketball games.
