Stalk the courts the legends stalked and rock the rims the legends rocked - before they were legends - as you take to the fabled proving grounds of NBA stars in this fourth installment of EA's gritty streetball franchise. Carve out a legend of your own by defending your homecourt against the best players in the NBA, all rendered with life-like accuracy, both in looks and game. A revolutionary new Trick Remixer lets you invent show-stopping freestyle moves on the fly as you shake, juke, and jump. You'll also paralyze defenders with a new ball-control system, vie for supremacy in Gamebreaker battles, and more.

This game is huge fun. Its exactly the way you wish you could play. The tricks are rediculously crazy but so much fun to pull off. Double Alley-oops 20ft high with crazy-hass slams and dunks in your face.

Just 3 on 3 street ball with some friendly, non abusive smack talk on infamous street corts around the country. No annoying announcers, no buzzers, no timers, no shot clocks to worry and no unruly crowds.

The game was done right. Its fairly easy to pick-up on any one can play but can also go as deep as you like. The interface is easy to navigate around and understand. Game play runs smooth, the graphics are a 10 out of 10. In practice session you can practice all your moves with and without teammates or opponents for as long as you like.
