Demo is avaiable on XBL. I played it briefly, nice graphics, but from what I played, not too much has changed other than new moves dunks etc.
i downloaded it as well i dont think i will be getting this one, maybe its cause i lost interest in video games
I actually have intentions on going and picking it up tomorrow. I loved Street V3, so I'm hoping this one delivers.
What's up with all these Street games? I just need some opinions, what's better, NBA Live / 2K series or the Street series
Bad ass game, no doubt. It has some stellar ratings aboard too most notably a 8.5 overall from Game Informer magazine. I'd like to get it, but I don't play many console video games anymore.

However, if you're looking for entertainment, I find Street to be much more entertaining. The pace of the game is MUCH quicker and the gameplay itself is much more entertaining as a whole if you ask me, and I'm typically a diehard simulation (aka realism) fan when it comes to sports games, but there's just something about NBA Street that I like more than any other hoops game out there typically.
Picked it up yesterday, and I must say that I love it. The new trick system works nicely and Gamebreakers are crazy. I love the fact that when you stop a person's Gamebreaker in this one, you get the opportunity to cash in with it. The only real gripe is lack of options, noting specifically they took out the dunk contest that was in V3, which was actually pretty entertaining. Regardless, it's a great game and probably the funnest (or most fun..dunno) basketball game out on the market right now.
Just a question Moo, how easy is it to steal the ball? I remember I mastered the V3 on the hardest difficulty real quick, because all you needed was a guard who could steal and you just pressed that button repeatedly.

It's can be easy, but if it is, it's balanced in the process. You will turn the ball over just as much as your opponent sometimes. I remember I had one GameBreaker when possession switched probably about a half dozen times or more. It's crazy. So, while stealing might not be the most difficult thing sometimes, it's mostly balanced. Also what must be noted is I'm currently only playing on medium since it's been a while that I played an NBA Street game. And to answer your question Carter, it's only on PS3 and X360 as far as I know.

Lol, i never lost.
