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.

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.

@@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

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

I still play this game to this day, and i know all of the commentary, but hearing drewski react to it has me laughing so hard😂😂

Bobbito Cracks Me Up So Much In This Game Along With The 3rd Game with His Comedic One Liners!

One of my favorite sports games ever, glad to see it on the channel

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.

Please do more of this game. I loved it

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

This game was SO FIREE

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.

I really hope this becomes a series

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

I remember playing NBA Street Vol 2 when I Rented in the Scottish version of Blockbuster before it was closed down and turned into a Bistro and Cafe.

Bar being next to the court in Philly makes sense to me. Source: born and raised in philly

literally paused to go listen to 93 Til Infinity after you sampled the intro. Might get this game just for the soundtrack.

One of my favorite games of all time. Please do more of the be a legend. Could be a whole series.

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.

I can die happy knowing dreski finally played one of the greatest games of all time

Classic game !!!!!! Miss these days !!!

The sound effects for this video were spot on! Loved it to bits and hope you do another video of this game!

Series please. Thanks. -Viewer

I played this game non stop as a kid growing up and loved seeing this upload

A legendary game and a legendary Drewski. Quality.

Speaking of early 2000’s arcade style games, I really loved slugfest growing up. That would be a cool series for you to do

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

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.

Now you gotta play NBA Ballers!

This is exactly the content I need in my life. The nostalgia is real.

This reminded me i hooped with Bobbito a couple times. Dude was nice lol

Played this as a kid it was freaking lit

this is the last game i’d expect to see on my feed but just the thumbnail alone brought back so many memories of my dad goaltending with shaq and whoopin my ass

One hilarious fact that I learned is that Stretch is a school teacher that’s really tall and athletic who goes to street ball courts and just dominates when he feels like it.

A lot of the satisfaction from this game comes from the sound design, blocking feels so powerful because of it

I have to say bro this game I played for hours as a kid and sometimes dust off to play again!! I love this man!

Please make this a series. I’d love to see what kind of team you end up building. This game is so nostalgic. I had this game taken away from me by my dad when I was a kid bcuz my grades sucked. Luckily, I knew where he hid it! Hahahaha

Already saying, "YES!" Praying for a series!

YES I’ve wanted this game covered since I found this channel!

I love your vids so much!

Please continue the series on be a legend and finish it. This was my favorite childhood game.

This immediately brought me back to 2002/2003....countless hours playing in the dorms....I'm not crying, youre crying

Always love your content Drewski just a suggestion , your playing the game a little more straight forward like a simulation basketball. dribble a little more and maybe try to get that double alley oop . Would lead to you getting more game breakers and getting game breaker . Great seeing you even play it man

A new video always get me excited

11:06 commenting on the 12th anniversary of the origins of this joke.. always makes me laugh! Awesome video as always!

Hope to see a series, I can't wait to see the white water game I've always struggled against him lol

This is an all time great game. Hoping to see more of it!

THAT GAME WAS SO MUCH FUN

The best game in all the street sports series

Keep this series going! I'm looking forward to part 2!

All the street games are so fun. You should also do the NBA jam remake if you haven't yet

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

2000s games just hit different love your vids on ALL the street games 😎

Omg ive been waiting years for you to play this, its all my alltime favorite childhood game

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

thank you for doing this!

This was my favorite game as a kid, cool to see it still holds up as an arcade basketball game

Love your videos. Keep it up

The theme music is so FUCKING good. Legendary track. It's called They Reminisce Over You T.R.O.Y. It samples "Today" by Tom Scott and The California Dreamers. No not that Tom Scott. Amazing song, it is.

"Who do you think you are?" "I AM!" Shoutout Pete Weber!

I would totally watch more of these videos!

You gotta make this a full series asap 💪🏾

"Who do you think you are..I AM"!! I see you drewski😂😂😂😂

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

yes this is exactly what i needed this sunday evening ..

NTE playing NBA Street Vol. 2?? HALE yeah! I wouldn’t mind seeing an entire career mode of this. I remember I had 3 different career modes with created players maxing out certain abilities to make a super star street team

Man this brings back memories. I need to go play the game now

All these street games were honestly peak sports games. I own all the NBA ones and 2 of the NFL ones, well the better ones lol Some of the best memories for me came from these games💯

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

Fifa Street 2 was legendary in Brazil, I spent dozens of nights playing it with friends. Please do one, its way funnier than the regular soccer games!!

One basketball game I’d love to see Drew play is NBA Ballers: the one, had so much frustration and fun playing that campaign

I completely forgot about "Who do you think you are? I AM". You're a legend drewski

Loved this game so much! And the fact you face off Nelly in the game is hilarious

I LOVE this game. If I still had a PS2 I would play it. Strongly recommend doing a full playthrough even if you don't upload it

Must need a series on this!!!!!!

Love the content

Definitely need more of this

Dude you should do more NBA content!! Loved this!!

They Reminisce Over You (TROY) Is such a banger song! I still listen to it to this day!

GOAT level PS2 game

You know... they did make a NBA Street Vol. 3 (and even a 4th called Homecourt) 😏 Def down to watch a series of this too though for the nostalgia alone

Childhood right here. All of the street games and EA BIG titles mean a lot to me. Glad to see you enjoyed this game drewski.

I remember my os2 was on its last legs. The fan broke and it took five minutes to load a court but I played this game relentlessly

This game needs to be a series

I don't know how I was able to do everything in Be a Legend mode as a kid, but I did Also, Drew, if you hold a turbo button (usually L1 or L2) and pass, you can pass into an alley oop off the backboard

One of my all time favorite games! What really sucks, is if they were to bring it back, it would be little with pay to play stuff. Man I miss the old games.

if they remastered this it would end any modern basketball game. this game was my childhood
