Something is missing.....

Homecourt Was cool, but then again in a week I got bored of it...Which was weird because I loved the series and didnt get that bored so fast. But I still loved how it played and the Gamebreaker was cool, and the moves were great...I still would like to play it though.

NBA Street doesn't disappoint

I have had my doubts about this for a long time, I won't lie. I finally broke down and bought it a few days ago. I do have to say I'm not disappointed in the slightest. There have been some changed to this series in the switch to next generation. Gamebreakers are still here, don't worry. You still get to create a character and develop him/her with a team. This time around you find yourself going to all these different courts, where some pro's learned to play. It definitely adds a more personal touch. In Homecourt there is addition of Trick Remixing. This is how you get and earn trick points to build up to Gamebreakers(which adds points to your score while taking away from the opponents). Don't get to carried away remixing though, because it may earn you trick points, it also makes it easier to steal the ball from you. So all in all this game is a success. I would recommend it to you if you like basketball at all. Especially with the recent price drop, definitely worth the money.

Getting old

Too many sequels. I stopped after volume 2. This game is good for people who don't have the previous ones, but for someone who does, its " been there, done that" ( i always thought the dunk names were kinda stupid)

needs to come up with something new

NOW I CAN DUNK THE BASKETBALL TWICE!!! but... pretty much, thats all NBA Homecourt has going for them. sure, there are new tricks and new dunks but the storyline is still the same. you basically go out and try to prove yourself and hold your own on the streets. EA Sports needs to come up with some new aspects of NBA Street before they come out with the next game.

EA got this one right.

Presentation: The game has an oldschool feeling in almost every aspect of it: oldschool tunes, slow and subtle cutscenes and hometown stories help set the mood. The menus are beautyful and easy to navigate. Graphics and Animation: This is one of the best looking sports games out there. The courts are modeled with attention to detail and seem photorealistic. The player models are above verage and the physics of the clothing are superb. The strongest part of Homecourt is the animation. Transitions between dribbles and passes are smooth, and the execution and creativity in the dunks is a must-see. This game is fun even for the bystanders. Gameplay: The two modifier buttons add a lot to gameplay and strategy. Dribbles, dunks and even passes can be modified. The Gamebreaker is especially hectic because you can try to make a long trick combo to add to your score with the risk of loosing the ball and one point with it. You can hold the dunk button to the very last moment of a dunk to make a double-dunk, but hold it too long and you'll miss embarrasingly. Single and Multiplayer: Multiplayer is, not surprisingly, a blast. Playing online is definetively cool, but the game lags sometimes. The single player is the weakest part of Homecourt. There you'll find challenges which consist in winning games with different rules or restirctions. You'll also recruit players and buy clothes for yourself, but it's nothing to write home about. The create-a-player is not what it used to be. It is way more shallow and limited than what similar or past games have. Final Opinion: This game has come a long way and it shows: it has been fine tuned both graphically and in gameplay. The lack of a true single player experiece is what keeps this game away from greatness, although it is still the best of its kind.

dunking the way it should be

only few can dunk like the people in this can look at there comercial tell me if you've ever seen that before.man there are so many dunks ,if the made a game just for dunking i would buy it.but dunking isn't the only cool part the defence has finally got some boosting and if you dont think this is the best basketball game ever you should be killed. Nuff said

good fun

Personally i think all of the NBA Street games have been fun but i think this is the best. I like how you make two trips around to all the courts to hone your skill against the scrubs of the NBA and then against the harder ones. I think the cinematics get a little old. I care about how carmelo came out because he is abig player and a top pick but how big really is Mike James. A little simple but a lot of the gameplay doesn't get old.
