 Homecourt delivers! July 14, 2008
Home court is a 8.5 out of 10 in my eyes .... A lil' bit of botton smatcher but overall is a good game to go online and battLe it out with other playes, and friends. I own it for the xbox 360. Is great to play with others and the reason why I give it a 8.5 out of 10 instead of a full ten is because on carrier mode I got bored. I am a Old school Nba fan and new school Nba street and tht is the eason why I own this game. It's a must buy if you are a basketball fan.
Hope ny review helps Peace!

 The Franchise Has Regressed December 24, 2007

I am huge fan of the NBA Street franchise. I played both the first and second ones completely through with numerous fully maxed created ballers. I did not play the third one. I can not understand why EA would take out the best features of the second one. The create-a-baller options are now templates you get to choose from (i.e. you choose guard then choose between a player skillset to replicate - Kobe, Vince Carter, AI) - you can't allocate points to skills, you can't choose the size/weight/height/speed of your player, you can't design your own face - you choose from like 20 options. Considering I like speedy guards who can dunk like an Andre Iguodala, have crazy handles but don't like to pass since I'm a ball hog, shoot threes all day if needed, and block shots like the best - tell me who does this? Or maybe I want a big man who has handles like Magic but power like Shaq. Horrible. The gamebreakers are slightly better as they leave you the ability to get up to 6 points, but the greedier you get the higher the possibility you get nothing as the opponent may steal it as you trick up the points. The shooting engine is too easy on this game, get a baller above 70 on shooting and he hits almost every three he shoots. The second one you would still be a more NBA lifelike 40-50% shooter from beyond the arc even at 100%. I'm not asking for that necessarily, but maybe only a 60-70% would be reasonable. Next up is, unlike the second one, you can't carry a team of 5 players and pick 3 to play against your opponent. It was always fun going big or small, or playing matchups. You choose 3, and if you want another player, you have to dump one and very likely not get him back. Lastly, one of the best parts of NBA Street 2 was the old school players. Jordan '86 and Jordan '93, Russell, Chamberlain, Earl Monroe, etc. I understand they can't put all the greats, but maybe a handful that could be unlocked like a Jordan, or other recent retired greats like Barkley, Magic, Bird, would have made up for this deficiency. If you are a first time NBA Street buyer and don't mind the out of date stats and player teams, I would suggest you get NBA Street 2, or rent NBA Street 3 and see if it's any good. But avoid this one. It's more refined then NBA Street 1, but considering that 1 came out of nowhere and put the franchise on the map over six years ago, I would rate 1 higher. The only positive for this entire game over the whole franchise are the double dunks - that's it. And this can barely offset the fact you can't choose your own dunks like in the second one. Your dunks are dictated to you by the position of your player. So, in ending, if waited this long to get this game, wait another year and get the next NBA Street. EA can only go up (I hope).
Street review July 28, 2007
NBA Street Homecourt is the best of the series. I love the way you can create your player and tricks. Street Homecourt is way more fun to play on Multi-Player. I play it all the time.
A great basketball game! June 8, 2007

The graphics, sound, gameplay, and fun factor will win almost anyone over. The presentation is excellent and you'll get to learn where the top NBA talent grew-up along with the street courts that helped forge their game. The computer AI set on "hard" gave so much of a challenge that I could swear "they cheated", but that's what some of us pay for.
However, if you prefer realism, this is not the game for you! As a matter of fact, this is a cross between X-games and basketball--the tricks are that sick! The gamebreaker mode was seriously upsetting my buddy because he didn't know how to activate it or do the tricks to enable it either. This takes a little bit of practice due to the ultra-thin manual. When the Gamebreaker mode kicks in, some of you older peeps will recognize the song from the breakdancing days of the early 80's.
The build-a-baller is great. There are many options to choose from starting with position (Guard, Forward, Center). The position you choose will determine size and starting attributes which is a departure from the "make him big & tall with mad handles & dunks and the rest will work itself out" thing. Then you can customize the players face/clothes/shoes. As you win in the Homecourt Challenge, you will be able to upgrade your starting team with the feature player from the team you just beat. Also, with each win, you'll be automatically awarded attribute points to make your baller great and unlock shoes and clothing to allow even more upgrade points to your player. I really like this feature and I'm am sure you will too!
All-in-all, this is a solid game. I haven't found anything to be buggy or glitchy and you can just pick up a controller and play. Maybe not very well, but your friends will have fun playing right away. I bought this game with a friend and we both had no idea what we were doing but it was a riot figuring it out. We played co-op and versus while having the time of our lives! This game really takes basketball to the next level and I think basketball is the only game that can get away with the over-the-top nature of NBA Street Homecourt.
I gave it 4-stars overall because the manual was crap and the game itself was very pricy. 5-stars for fun though!!
 Great game May 12, 2007

According to how much time my nephew spends playing this game it must be pretty good! He says the graphics are really good, very realistic. He like the options of the game - making your own team, etc. He and his brothers all rate this game 5 stars.....
