While Electronic Arts' NBA Live series sees annual editions of its basketball simulation game hit stores near the onset of the NBA season, there isn't a regular schedule for its streetball counterpart, NBA Street. However, a new edition appears roughly every other spring, and EA seems to be sticking to the semi-schedule.
The next edition of NBA Street, which has not yet been named, is set to ball in spring 2007. The game will continue the three-on-three gameplay familiar to the series, but not necessarily on the courts gamers are used to. So far, the game has been announced for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and an EA rep has confirmed that it will be on those platforms only.
"The power of the next-generation hardware gives us the horsepower to break new ground for consumers, making it the perfect stage for the next iteration of NBA Street," said Wil Mozell, executive producer of the game.
Details on the game are about as hard to track down as Allen Iverson in the open court, but it appears as though the new game will be set in a sort of "Basketball City, USA," and the goal will be to "put your hometown on the map." A description from EA says, "The newest iteration of NBA Street creates a hyper-real world that merges legendary courts with the hometown courts of your favorite NBA stars into one seamless city of streetball moments."
The next iteration of NBA Street has not yet been rated or priced.
I don't know why this game sucks. V3 is better than this game. Andre Miller an NBA All-Star? Damn! And no dunk contest or create a court! I've wasted my money for buying and time for playing such a crap.
I CANT WAIT FOR THIS ****
Awesome,I loved V3.This should be a great follow-up.
I haven't played any of these before
Can't wait. Personally I liked all 3 for different reasons. The first just because of the outrageousness of it all and how much fun it was. The second since it added onto that and the gameplay was, well, perfect in every way. The third might have been a small step down in gameplay but having Bron, 'Melo, and D-Wade on the same team was pure bliss. The graphics for all of these games so far has been great, so I can't wait to see what advantages they take with the next-gen systems.
I personally think V3 was horrible. That is all.
i never liked this game
Surpriseing that the next NBA Street will be for only next - gen game consoles only it should be for all systems that would make it mush easier.
great another good reason to buy a xbox 360. and i will hehehe
Awesome, can't wait to play some NBA street on my 360 or PS3. NBA Street 2 is one of my favorite sport games ever.
The first one was good, the second was excellent, and I traded the 3rd one in 2 days after I bought it. Hopefully the new one will put the series back on track, it used to be a lot of fun.
that's great news!!!
i really liked the nba street games. cant wait to see what this looks like on next gen consoles
pop shuvvit!!!
'melo's gonna be spending a lot more time at home with his hyper-extended knee.
this will be a great game just like nba street v3...
This series is the only "Street" game that I can stomach. The presentation for these next gen systems should be fantastic. Sign me up!
No wii version make me cry.
Awesome! Too bad I'm getting a Wii. Might get PS3 however. Anyway No PS2, No PSP, No Wii = me no get this game.
Ahh I remeber playing NBA Street on the PS2 for the first time when it came out and nobody knew yet... I was the most fun, crazy, and out of contol basketball game I had ever played... I played it non-stop for weeks...
"lvin5992 I read this and saw this vid in better resolution yesterday." Wow, thats great for you, why post here then?
hooray!! I can't wait to unlock all the achievements for this game :)
"akalilballa101 aww come on no one is going to buy a ps3 or 360 just to get that game EA your losing money" But for the millions that will have them regardless. . .
Great! This series rocks!
aww come on no one is going to buy a ps3 or 360 just to get that game EA your losing money
Why does gamespot not mention how the NBA deal makes it so that NBA Street & NBA Ballers have to alternate years?
The game play of Vol. 2 was perfection. It didn't transfer to 3. If they can recreate that with online mode and far superior graphics this game will be a slam dunk. Harde har har. Edit: DJ Cucumber Slice better be making a comeback and bringing the figs one more time.
i did it too Pablo620 :lol:
How many peolpe read Wil Mozell's name as Wii Mozell. I did but was like hugh...Wii Who. LOL
BASEBALL?!? why does it say baseball..? anyways.. vol. 2 and 3 were sick!! i'm most definately gettin' this one..
Will it be a failure or will it be a smash it like the first one?
I hope the graphics will be as stylish as its predecessors.
I like gunbaboy's comment about the Wii. I'm getting really tired of seeing the same game over all the consoles available right now. There is not fun anymore in that, I think. Also this one seems like a good game now. I just can't wait to see the real deal on this game.
It's funny to me how people hum and haw about how not all their favourite games are being ported over to the Wii.... I think that's the whole point! I think the coolest thing about the Wii is that your're going to be getting completely unique game experiences and unique games on that platform. I LOVE that the titles that most companies (EA included) are bringing over to the Wii are being treated as seperate and unique projects and not as mere ports of existing games with a different controller layout. So yeah, not every game is going to make it onto the Wii, but would you rather have a console that gets a lot of ports of next-gen games, or a console that gets an entirely different set of games, specifically tailored to it's hardware?
damn i understand ps3 n 360 but not even psp? wtf is goin on at EA.
I loved the first one and was ehh about the second one. I might not pick it up but will play it if someone else buys it.....for fun and stuff. :D
Yahoooooo!! I have been waiting for NBA Street to come out on the 360. I will be getting it.
at least publishers are starting to smarten up and stop releasing games on the old platforms
I'm too excited for words!!!!!!!!!!!!................
Street>Live.
Yea, I hope this is as awesome as Vol. 2....I agree with most that it was superior to Vol. 3...
Come on new SSX!!! That will be nice on next gen systems.
Oh yes! Now THIS is a next-gen game I'm excited about!
Hopefully it is as good as the Second one.
This game is way better than live, but not as good as 2K.
Hmm... first NBA Live isn't announced for the Wii, now NBA Street is also skipping the platform, at least initially?
I read this and saw this vid in better resolution yesterday.
Um , where' s NFL Street?
liked the first 3 games - not more than a rental. I'd like a next-gen SSX and Road Rash EA.
yeah!!
