NBA Street - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for NBA Street - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

You can choose from these NBA Players:
Latrell Sprewell
Allan Houston
Marcus Camby
Glen Rice
Mark Jackson
50 development points

Smartest Choice: 50 development points
Why: Even though I love Latrell Sprewell (the whole incident when he was in 
Oakland) I had to pick the 50 development points over him.  Why do you need 
Latrell when you got Drake now?

How To Win:
I didn't put in Drake because all he is good for is shooting.  I use Michael 
Jordan, future (my created player), and Biggs.  The Knicks are not a strong 
team so all your players can dunk on them.  In the beginning of the game I 
was getting my ass kicked but then I came back with a few steals in a row.  
This team has nothing special so they shouldn't be too hard to beat.


After beating the Knicks you move onto the Nets.


Team: New Jersey Nets
Venue: The Cage
Difficulty: ***
If you win:
1 NBA Player

You can choose from these NBA Players:
Stephon Marbury
Keith Van Horn
Kenyon Martin
Kendall Gill
Aaron Williams
25 development points

Smartest Choice: 25 development points
Why: Stephon Marbury and Keith Van Horn are good but they aren't great.  25 
development points can help your player out more.

How To Win:
I have no idea why this team took me 4 tries to beat.  May be it was because 
I was using Drake instead of Michael Jordan.  Keith Van Horn is practically 
the best stealer that I came across.  Also, him and Stephon Marbury are 
dominate from behind the arc and in the paint.  I got lucky when I beat the 
Nets on my fourth try because they had their gamebreaker but Drake hit a 2 
pointer for the victory before they could get to shoot the ball.


After beating the Nets you move onto the Wizards.


Team: Washington Wizards
Venue: The Cage
Difficulty: **
If you win:
1 NBA Player

You can choose from these NBA Players:
Jahidi White
Richard Hamilton
Courtney Alexander
Mitch Richmond
Christian Laettner
25 development points

Smartest Choice: 25 development points
Why: Even though it's 25 development points it's better then any of the 
players that you can choose.  Actually, I think it's better then all the 
players on the Wizards put together!

How To Win:
It seems like the teams are getting harder now.  I'm having trouble beating 
any team on my first try.  I lost to the Wizards once before beating them 
21-19.  My team was Biggs, Drake, and my created player.  Drake is really a 
good shooter and Biggs dominated inside so that's why they are getting so 
much play time.  The Wizards aren't a hard team to beat, they just might get 
cheap and start stealing the ball all the time at the end of the game.


After beating the Wizards you move onto the 76ers.


Team: Philadelphia 76ers
Venue: The Cage
Difficulty: *
If you win:
1 NBA Player

You can choose from these NBA Players:
Allen Iverson
Dikembe Mutombo
Eric Snow
George Lynch
Aaron Mckie
50 development points

Smartest Choice: 50 development points/Allen Iverson
Why: Allen Iverson is probably one of the best players in the game.  If you 
need a guard then I suggest that you pick him up.  Don't overlook Dikembe 
either because he is a great center.  I have a guard though and I don't 
really need a center because I'm building up my player to become a center so 
I decided to go with the 50 development points.  This one is a tough 
decision so do what you want.

How To Win:
The 76ers are a good team but are very easy if you can get the cheap 
strategy down on them.  Allen Iverson can steal really good, Dikembe Mutombo 
dominates in blocks and rebounds, and Eric Snow basically sucks.  I put in 
bonafide instead of Drake and he really got the job done on Eric Snow.  Keep 
Biggs back by the 3 point line so Mutombo can't block shots and have 
bonafide do most of the dunks.  My created player was ok but he got picked a 
lot by Allen Iverson.  If you gang up on Eric Snow, i'm positive you will 
win your first time like I did.


After beating the 76ers you move onto the Celtics.


Team: Boston Celtics
Venue: The Cage
Difficulty: *
If you win:
1 NBA Player

You can choose from these NBA Players:
Paul Pierce
Antoine Walker
Kenny Anderson
Tonny Battie
Vitaly Potapenko
50 development points

Smartest Choice: 50 development points
Why: Now I remember why the Boston Celtics suck.  Look at the players you 
can choose.  Who are these people?  Take the 50 development points and don't 
look back.

How To Win:
The Celtics are a very easy team to beat.  I didn't really do anything 
special against them except dunk a lot.  I didn't take any perimeter shots 
against them and I still pulled off the victory.


After beating the Celtics you move onto Street Challenge #4.


Team: DJ
Venue: Venice Beach
Difficulty: *
If you win:
A New Court - "Venice Beach"
A New Character - "d.j."
100 Create Player Development Points
A New Team - "Team NYC"
4 New Player Cheats

Note: You do not get the 4 New Ball Cheats or Team NYC when you win Team DJ. 
  You get both of them when you record your 30th victory.  I got my 30th 
victory when I was playing Team DJ.


Smartest Choice: N/A
Why: You don't get to choose anything because everything is just handed to 
you.

How To Win:
DJ is a pretty easy team to beat.  The white guy really sucks, the big black 
guy is really strong but all he can do is rebound and block shots, and d.j. 
himself is really good at dribbling.  I used bonafide, Biggs, and my created 
player and took care of these chumps easily on my first turn.  They are not 
a hard team to beat.


After beating DJ you move onto Region #5.


Region: #5
Description: Region #5 has the Chicago Bulls, Minnesota Timberwolves, 
Milwaukee Bucks, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, and the Cleveland 
Cavaliers in it.


Team: Chicago Bulls
Venue: The Loop
Difficulty: *
If you win:
1 NBA Player

You can choose from these NBA Players:
Elton Brand
Ron Mercer
Ron Artest
Marcus Fizer
Jamal Crawford
50 development points

Smartest Choice: 50 development points
Why: None of these players are good except Elton Brand and he's not even 
that good.  You would have to be stupid not to take the 50 development 
points.

How To Win:
I beat the Bulls my first time playing them but it was a close one.  They 
are basically an easy team to beat.  I used the same people I always use 
which is bonafide, biggs, and my created player.  You should have no trouble 
winning your first time playing the Bulls.


After beating the Bulls you move onto the Timberwolves.


Team: Minnesota Timberwolves
Venue: The Loop
Difficulty: *
If you win:
1 NBA Player

You can choose from these NBA Players:
Kevin Garnett
Terrell Brandon
Chauncey Billups
Wally Szczerbiak
Laphonso Ellis
50 development points

Smartest Choice: 50 development points/Kevin Garnett
Why: Kevin Garnett is pretty loaded in this game so he's a good player to 
have on your team.  Other than that, the 50 development points will help 
your create a player out a bit so it's really up to you.  I went with the 50 
development points just because I wouldn't start Kevin Garnett anyways.

How To Win:
The Timberwolves are a pretty easy team to beat.  I didn't feel challanged 
at all when I was playing them.  Kevin Garnett is their only good player.  
Watch out though, Garnett can shoot from anywhere he wants and make it.  He 
can dunk, hit jump shots, or hit 3 pointers so he is a major threat.  Other 
than that, there is no one else good to help him out.  You should be able to 
win your first time against these guys.


After beating the Timberwolves you move onto the Bucks.


Team: Milwaukee Bucks
Venue: The Loop
Difficulty: *
If you win:
1 NBA Player

You can choose from these NBA Players:
Ray Allen
Glenn Robinson
Sam Cassell
Tim Thomas
Rafer Aiston
50 development points

Smartest Choice: 50 development points/Ray Allen
Why: Ray Allen is a great shooter and is pretty good at everything else.  He 
is a good guy to have on your team if you need a high scoring player.  I 
chose not to go with him though because bonafide is just as good as him.  I 
took the 50 development points to make my created player a little taller.

How To Win:
The Bucks are surprisingly an easy team to beat.  I wasn't challenged at all 
the whole game and I held them to only one gamebreaker.  Ray Allen is the 
only really good player on the team and all he can really do is shoot 
baskets.  Sam Cassell is pretty weak defensively so drive the ball on him 
most of the time.  You should be able to win your first time.


After beating the Bucks you move onto the Pistons.


Team: Detroit Pistons
Venue: The Loop
Difficulty: **
If you win:
1 NBA Player

You can choose from these NBA Players:
Jerry Stackhouse
Joe Smith
Ben Wallace
Chucky Atkins
Corliss Williamson
50 development points

Smartest Choice: 50 development points/Jerry Stackhouse
Why: Jerry Stackhouse is a good player that can hit twos, dunks, and three 
pointers when he needs to hit them.  He is a nice player to have on your 
team so it is a good choice to have him on it.  I decided to take the 50 
development points but it's really up to you.

How To Win:
It took me two tries to beat the Pistons and the only reason I won was 
because I had a gamebreaker.  Jerry Stackhouse is a great player and can 
hurt you from all over the court.  If you can stop him then you can win the 
Pistons.  Ben Wallace is a good shot blocker and can rebound pretty good but 
is not good at shooting.  You can probably win the Pistons on your first or 
second try.


After beating the Pistons you move onto the Pacers.


Team: Indiana Pacers
Venue: The Loop
Difficulty: N/A (I would think ** though)
If you win:
1 NBA Player

NOTE: I did not play the Pacer because I am the Pacers in the circuit.  You 
don't have to play the team you are when you play in the circuit.  You will 
have to play the Pacers if you choose another team.

You can choose from these NBA Players:
Jalen Rose
Reggie Miller
Jermaine O'Neal
Austin Croshere
Travis Best
50 development points

Smartest Choice: 50 development points/Reggie Miller
Why: Reggie Miller is an unstoppable 3 point shooter so he is a good player 
to have on your team.  Personally, I wouldn't choose him though because 
that's all he is good for.

How To Win:
The Pacers are a good 3 point shooting team so beware of Reggie Miller and 
Jalen Rose.  Jermaine O'Neal does the rebounding for the team but he's not 
that tall.  I didn't play the Pacers but I figure that you can probably beat 
them on your first or second try.


After beating the Pacers you move onto the Cavaliers.


Team: Cleveland Cavaliers
Venue: The Loop
Difficulty: *
If you win:
1 NBA Player

You can choose from these NBA Players:
Zydrunas Ilgauskas
Clarence Weatherspoon
Andre Miller
Jim Jackson
Lamond Murray
50 development points

Smartest Choice: 50 development points
Why: Easy decision.  Go with the 50 development points and never think twice 
about it.

How To Win:
The Cavaliers are a very easy team to beat.  I actually beat them by 8 
points which was a pretty big blowout.  I used bonafide, Biggs, and my 
created player who is now 7 foot tall.  This should be an easy win for 
everyone who tries to beat these guys.


After beating the Cavaliers you move onto Street Challenge #5.


Team: Takashi
Venue: Yakatomi Plaza
Difficulty: *
If you win:
A New Court - "yakatomi plaza"
A New Character - "takashi"
100 Create Player Development Points

Smartest Choice: N/A
Why: You don't get to choose anything because everything is just handed to 
you.

How To Win:
Takashi himself is a really good dunker and blocker.  The guy in the red 
jump suit can dunk and block really good too.  The small guy is the guy you 
want to pick on.  Give the ball to bonafide to let him tear the small guy 
up.  The team I used was bonafide, Biggs, and my created player.  The game 
was pretty close but I won on my first turn.  You should be able to win on 
your first try too.


After beating Takashi you move onto Region #6.


Region: #6
Description: Region #5 has the Seattle Sonics, Portland Blazers, Los Angeles 
Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Golden State Warriors, and the Sacramento 
Kings in it.


Team: Seattle Sonics
Venue: Fort Point
Difficulty: **
If you win:
1 NBA Player

You can choose from these NBA Players:
Gary Payton
Rashard Lewis
Vin Baker
Patrick Ewing
Desmond Mason
50 development points

Smartest Choice: 50 development points
Why: Gary Payton is a great NBA player but with the high calibur players you 
have on your team already he is not needed.  Go with the 50 development 
points and laugh about Patrick Ewing's jumpshot.

How To Win:
I beat the Sonics on my first turn but they were pretty good so I decided to 
give them two stars.  Gary Payton is a great 3 point shooter/dunker so 
beware of him.  This team plays with a lot of heart and they will keep the 
game close the whole game.  I cut Biggs from my starting team and put in 
Takashi instead because of the extra height.  He's really good at shot 
blocking and rebounding.


After beating the Sonics you move onto the Blazers.


Team: Portland Blazers
Venue: Fort Point
Difficulty: **
If you win:
1 NBA Player

You can choose from these NBA Players:
Rasheed Wallace
Scottie Pippen
Damon Stoudamire
Steve Smith
Dale Davis
25 development points

Smartest Choice: 25 development points
Why: Rasheed Wallace is a very good blocker but Biggs can probably take the 
job away from him.  There's only 25 development points but it's still better 
then Rasheed Wallace.  Go with the 25 points.

How To Win:
Rasheed Wallace is a very good shot blocker and rebounder.  Damon Stoudamire 
and Scottie Pippen can hit three pointers.  If all of these guys are on then 
you are in trouble.  Luckily, I shot down Pippen's game and Rasheed had to 
take most of the shots.  I won because they didn't get their gamebreaker 
when they were in the red turbo zone.  Easy team to beat but you may lose 
the first time.


After beating the Blazers you move onto the Lakers.


Team: Los Angeles Lakers
Venue: Fort Point
Difficulty: ***
If you win:
1 NBA Player

You can choose from these NBA Players:
Shaquille O'Neal
Kobe Bryant
Derek Fisher
Horace Grant
Robert Horry
50 development points

Smartest Choice: 50 development points/Shaquille O'Neal/Kobe Bryant
Why: This is really a toss up.  If you want a good center pick Shaquille 
O'Neal.  If you want a good guard pick Kobe Bryant because he's talented at 
everything.  If you don't need any pick the 50 development points.  I picked 
the 50 development points because Biggs and Takashi do the job for center 
and bonafide does the job for guard.  It's really up to you though.

How To Win:
The Lakers are probably the best team so far.  I beat them on my 2nd turn 
but it was a crazy game that I shouldn't have won.  Shaquille O'Neal can 
block almost everything in his area so don't go by him.  Kobe Bryant can 
almost make all of his shots so don't let him shoot.  That leaves Derek 
Fisher who is deadly from 3 point land but sucks at defense.  Try to let 
bonafide gang up on his on offense and let your created player guard Kobe.  
I won by blocking one of their gamebreakers and letting them shoot a one 
pointer for the other gamebreaker.  It might take some time to beat this 
team so be patient.


After beating the Lakers you move onto the Clippers.


Team: Los Angeles Clippers
Venue: Fort Point
Difficulty: *
If you win:
1 NBA Player

You can choose from these NBA Players:
Lamar Odom
Darius Miles
Michael Olowokandi
Corey Maggette
Keyon Dooling
50 development points

Smartest Choice: 50 development points
Why: Michael Olowokandi...Make sure you get him...haha just kidding.  That 
guy sucks but he seems like he always gets picked first at everything.  
Stick to the 50 development points on this one.

How To Win:
The Clipper are a very easy team to beat.  It's actually nice to get a break 
from some competitive teams.  If you got this far, you shouldn't have any 
trouble with the Clippers on your first turn.


After beating the Clippers you move onto the Warriors.


Team: Golden State Warriors
Venue: Fort Point
Difficulty: *
If you win:
1 NBA Player

You can choose from these NBA Players:
Antawn Jamison
Larry Hughes
Marc Jackson
Mookie Blaylock
Danny Fortson
50 development points

Smartest Choice: 50 development points
Why: I've lived in the Bay Area all my life and before even looking at these 
people I know they suck.  Antawn Jamison seems good but trust me, if he was 
good then the Warriors wouldn't be one of the worse teams every single year.

How To Win:
This is another very easy team to beat.  I killed the Warriors 21-10 the 
first time I played them.  There's no real strategy in killing these guys 
just make sure you play like you usually do.  You better win your first time 
because this is probably the easiest team out there!


After beating the Warriors you move onto the Kings.


Team: Sacramento Kings
Venue: Fort Point
Difficulty: **
If you win:
1 NBA Player

You can choose from these NBA Players:
Chris Webber
Jason Williams
Peja Stojakovic
Vlade Divac
Doug Christie
25 development points

Smartest Choice: 25 development points
Why: Chris Webber is overrated in the NBA and in this game.  He's not that 
good of a player and there is a lot of better power forwards in the game.  
Go with the development points over him.

How To Win:
I won the first time I played these guys but I should have lost.  I stole 
the ball when their turbo meter was on red and hit a 2 pointer to win.  
Chris Webber can dunk pretty good and Jason Williams and Peja Stojakovic can 
shoot 3 pointers.  Overall, this team is good and they should give you a run 
for your money your first time playing them.


After beating the Kings you move onto Street Challenge #6.


Team: Stretch
Venue: Rucker Point
Difficulty: ****
If you win:
A New Court - "rucker park"
A New Character - "stretch"
100 Create Player Development Points

Smartest Choice: N/A
Why: You don't get to choose anything because everything is just handed to 
you.

How To Win:
By far this is the hardest team to beat so far.  Stretch is a great shooter, 
rebounder, and blocker.  The guy in the blue is a good dunker and blocker.  
The short guy is a great dribbler and stealer.  Combine, they are almost 
unstoppable.  They will get several gamebreakers in the game because they do 
a lot of fancy dunks.  All I can say is play your heart out.  I shot more 2s 
then I usually do and for some reason they fell.  A lot of my shots went in 
that shouldn't have and that's how I beat this team.  They are a very tough 
team to beat and may make your winning record look bad.


After beating Stretch you move onto Final Challenge.


Team: MJ
Venue: Rucker Park
Difficulty: *****
If you win:
your choice of any special player from the secret teams.
a new team - "street legends"
19 new gameplay cheats

You Can Choose From These Special Players:
Magma Man
Graylien Alien
Yeti Snowman
Moby Jones
Zoe Payne
Tracey Maretti
Kiely
Naturi
Adrienne
Skip To My Lou
The Goods
Starbury

Smartest Choice: Yeti Snowman
Why: He's 8 feet tall.  Enough said.

How To Win:
This is the hardest team in the game by far.  If you thought Stretch was a 
hard team wait until you play MJ.  The team I used was full of height.  I 
had Stretch in there, my created player who is 7 feet tall, and Takashi.  
All the players on MJ are extremely good and can make shots from anywhere.  
Also, they can steal and block shots even though they aren't tall.  I hit 
major 2 pointers in the game to pull out the victory.  When they got their 
gamebreaker I let them have an open lane to the basket so they wouldn't get 
a 2 pointer.  I did all the small things I did before and combined them 
altogether to beat this team.  Stick with a tall team for rebounding, it's 
your only chance.


After beating MJ you win the City Circuit.


When you beat the City Circuit the first emblem lights up in your stats.

6: Hold The Court
---------------------------------
Hold The Court Mode is a one or two player mode of play.  Here I have listed 
all the court objectives and what you get when you clear them.  Also, I have 
listed my strategy of how to do each objective and a rating key to tell you 
how hard it is.   The Rating Key is based on mad skill difficulty.


==============
Rating Key
==============
1 Star (*)............Extremely easy should complete first time.
2 Stars (**)..........Easy, shouldn't take you more then two tries to 
complete.
3 Stars (***).........This might take 5 tries to win before completing.  Not 
hard but not easy.
4 Stars (****)........These are rare but they come up.  This might take some 
time so sit down and concentrate.
5 Stars (*****).......If you can do this then you know you are good.  Have 
fun trying to win.


=======================================================================
                                 Note
=======================================================================
Playing against a friend will get you development points and things like 
that but I did not do that to get the objectives.  That's pretty cheap if 
you plug in another controller and pretend someone else is playing and just 
score points off no one.  Also, the development points vary because it 
depends on how many points you get in the game.  I listed the number of 
development points I got while playing.

How To Get The Win Streak:
This actually made me mad because I lost a game when I had a win streak of 
2.  It's not hard to win 3 games in a row if you do this.  For the first 
game concentrate on getting trick points so you can break the total.  If you 
break the trick point total then all you have to do is concentrate on points 
the next two games.  It's not that hard to do.
