Title: Everyone should go buy NBA Street NOW!!!
Post by: cridgedaddy on June 25, 2001, 11:51:30 AM
This game absolutely rocks.  Read enough about it on this and other boards, and just let me tell you how right everyone is...got it yesterday, and I haven\'t stopped playing it yet.  In fact, my roommate is playing it right now...easily the most addictive and purely fun game I\'ve played in a long time...

What are you people waiting for?  Buy this game!  If this and SSX are any indication, I will simply have to buy everything that EA Sports Big puts out...

I\'d buy it if I didn\'t just spend all my money on TM: B.  NBA Street will have to wait until another day.

Actually, I\'m just a casual basketball and I love the game. However, if you\'re looking for an accurate simulation of basketball you\'re much better off getting NBA2k1, Street is strictly an arcade game.

This is pretty much true...however, I\'ve always preferred basketball sims to titles like NBA Jam or Showtime.  But I tried Street out anyway, b/c all I had read were good things...EA Big has a knack for taking things I don\'t care about and making them into great games.  I don\'t give a rat\'s ass about snowboarding, but love SSX...don\'t care that much for arcade basketball, but love NBA Street...these guys are just plain good...I think that if you have ever enjoyed watching or playing basketball, you will love this game.  The sheer amount of sh*t-talking that goes on in 2-player games is reason enough...

Also, unfortunately for me, I don\'t own a Dreamcast, so I can\'t play 2K1, so I\'ll have to wait for next season on that...this game definitely kicks ass, though...just fun to play...must go back to playing NBA Street...

The game rules.  It\'s just like Virtua Tennis for the Dreamcast.  I don\'t like tennis but the game is so incredibly fun.  Go buy NBA Street, you won\'t be disappointed.

I think the game is too "unreal". But I\'ll buy in the next weeks, too.

well it uses the NBA Jam formula so it\'s gonna bea bit farfetched but i hate simultors they are so boring, im not a basketball fan at all, i hate sports actually exept skateboarding. the only basketball game i ever liked was NBA Jam and i loved it, now after everyones complements ont he game i rented it on sunday, and it is a great game for basketball and nonbasketball enthusiast.

Ea Big is makeing a game called "Sled Storm" wtf is it about?

Sled Storm was a PS1 game and it was excellent.  I can\'t wait to see what it will look like on PS2!  It\'s an incredible snowmobile game.

Street is the only PS2 game so far that made my cousin and I lose total track of all time. We stayed up literally all night taking turns unlocking all the characters. But EA....of all the secret characters you could have put in WHY 3LW....WHY!!!??? . I\'m definitely picking this one up when regenerate some more cash (GT3 drained my game cash for the month).
