             =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Version 1.0 (06/25/01)
        Damn, the first version of my first strategy guide. Who would've
        thought? Anyways, there's still a long way to go. I'll update when
        I have any new information for any section.  If you have any ideas for
        this strategy guide, please E-Mail me at:  AllenIversonN3@aol.com.

Version 1.1 (06/26/01)
        Wow.  It's finally sinking in that i've done a strategy guide that
        people want.  It's also been brought to my attention that this IS, in
        fact, the FIRST FAQ for NBA Street ON THE WEB!!!  Well, in this
        version, I haven't updated to much, just made small changes to a
        couple of sections, and got all the programmer's cheats in.

Version 1.2 (6/27/01)
        I deleted the Unlockables section and added a new section, the REWARDS
        section, and made some minor changes to other sections.  Not exactly
        the monster update I was hoping for, but I'm working on it.  With work
        and all, I can't work on this as much as I'd like to, but I should
        be getting fired soon anyways.

Version 1.3 (6/28/01)
        I compiled some of my E-Mails and made a FAQ's section.  I'll add to
        it when I get more questions.  I also added a chart to the City
        Circuit mode showing each region and the bosses and stuff.  Oh yeah,
        I also improved the general look of it the faq, too.  I think I'm
        gonna work on the teams section and hopefully have them done by this
        Friday, and I say hopefully because, in my line of business, I've
        pulled an ACT OF GOD this week.  So, no way they're gonna fire me now.

Version 1.4 (6/29/01)
        Well, with some help, I got the teams section up today.  Right now, I'm
        still thinking about what else to add to this FAQ, so if you have any
        ideas, please E-Mail me at:  AllenIversonN3@aol.com.  Thanks a lot.

Version 1.5 (7/1/01)
        This time around, I haven't really updated anything.  Just added in a
        few things to different sections.  With work and all, I may need some
        help, so if you're up to help me, E-Mail me at:  AllenIversonN3@aol.com
        Thanks a lot!

Version 1.6 (7/4/01)
        I haven't made a big update in a while now, because I need someone to 
        help me out!  If you can help, please E-Mail me, my E-Mail address is
        at the top of the FAQ.  Thanks a lot.  For this version, all I've really
        updated is the FAQ's Section, I really haven't had too much time to do
        anything else, which is why I need someone to help me out.  But keep
        checking back because I'm gonna make a pretty decent sized update soon.

Version 1.7 (7/7/01)
        Damn, been kickin major a$$ at work and haven't really updated this
        lately.  Sorry about that.  Well anyways, this time around, I added a
        "Wish List" section!  Just E-Mail me with your personal suggestions for
        the next "NBA Street" and I'll post 'em on the site!  Also, make sure
        that you get all of your requests for the FAQ in before I get it done or
        they will be left out!  Check back in a few days for a 'special treat'!

             =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

************************
* 8.1. DO'S AND DONT'S *
************************

--Do try street school to start you off and read all it has to say!
--Do position yourself for rebounds.
--Do look for an open man to take the shot.
--Do adjust your lineup accordingly each game.
--Do take a wide open shot if it's in the person's range.
--Do know your opponent's strengths and weaknesses.
--Do know your OWN strengths and weaknesses.
--Do learn how to pump fake and alley-oop.
--Do dive for loose balls.
--Do time your steals because trying one takes you player outta play for a
  second.
--Do alley-oop it if you have the option when you're dunking the ball.
--Do make the opponents shot clock expire by swatting all of his shots,
  especially if he's nearing a gamebreaker because it'll take some away.
--Do use variety.  An opponent who does different things is the most
  dangerous!
--Do practice.  Practice makes perfect!
--Do have fun with it!  It's just a game!

--Don't shoot over someone bigger than you that's in your face.
--Don't shoot over multiple people in your face.
--Don't shoot past half court.
--Don't let your opponent shoot a 2 point gamebreaker, it's always better to
  give up a dunk.
--Don't pass through too much traffic.
--Don't pass over really long distances.
--Don't pick up players you don't need (City Circuit mode).
--Don't try to shoot beyond the three point line with a bad three point
  shooter.
--Don't try advanced dunks with a bad dunker.
--Don't try advanced dribbles with a bad handler.
--Don't stop moving around.
--Don't try to be EXCESSIVELY fancy with a bad team.
--Don't let the shot clock expire.
--Don't jump to block a shot BEFORE the other person shoots.
--Don't try to block shots standing directly under the basket.
--Don't give your opponent wide open shots.
--Don't let an opponent intimidate you.  Everyone has their off days.
--Don't get frustrated.  Frustration leads to bad play.
--Don't give up on a game until it's over and done with!



**************************
* 8.2. SITUATIONAL STUFF *
**************************

--Down by 1--
        Don't worry, it's only 1 point.  Keep your gameplan the same.  You
        don't need to take the lead with a 2, just tie it.
--Down by 2--
        2 points isn't jack.  Don't worry, you don't need to take the 2 shot
        unless you have a good look at it.
--Down by 3--
        3 points is a minimum of 2 possessions.  If theres still plenty of
        scoring left to be done, don't sweat it.  Just play smart 'D'.  Try
        more for the block than the steal in this situation.  Only take the
        2 if you are wide open.
--Down by 4--
        4 points is a tricky situation.  You'll want to take a 2 if you have
        it here.  But, you don't NEED the 2 here.  All that matters is getting
        SOMETHING up on the scoreboard.  Play smart 'D' here and don't give
        the opponent any wide open shots.
--Down by 5--
        Well, you got yourself in a jam here.  Be very careful.  Try not to
        be too fancy here because you NEED to score something here and the
        last thing you need is to get the ball stolen by the defense.  You'll
        probably need to find a way to get a 2 in this situation.  It doesn't
        have to be right this moment, but make sure you don't let the opponent
        gain anything more on you and make sure that you don't wait too long
        to shoot the 2.
--Down by 6--
        Down by 6, what have you done?  Basically, be real careful with the
        ball, play good 'D', and start lookin for the 2 pointer here.  BUT,
        if you don't have the 2, you don't necessarily need to take it, you
        just can't let the other team score.
--Down by 7 or more--
        You're gonna need a gamebreaker.  That's all there is to it.  Make
        sure if you get it that you shoot the 2.  NO MISTAKES!

*********************
* 8.3. TRICK POINTS *
*********************

In order to get lots of trick points, do the following:
--Be REALLY FANCY.
--Use variety in all of your dribbles.
--Get as much Gamebreakers as you can.
--Use as much of the shot clock up with advanced tricks as you can.
--If you're really good, use most of the shot clock, miss a shot on purpose,
  and keep repeating as long as you want.  This can get you mad points.	
--Don't score with a jump shot, you don't get $h*t for points.
--Do lot's of advanced tricks and then advanced dunks or alley-oops to form
  high scoring combos.
--Get as many gamebreakers as possible, and when you get them, ALWAYS DUNK for
  maximum TRICK points (50000).
--Remember on defense that blocks are easy to get and are worth 2500 (with
  combos   being worth 7500).  So go for the block instead of the steal (1000
  points).
--Remember that at the end, you get nothing special for a jump shot, 25000 for
  breaking the rim, 50000+ for doing a combo and then dunking, and 150000+
  for doing a gamebreaker and breaking the rim!

--How City Circuit is set up--
        City Circuit mode is set up with 6 regions of various NBA teams, and 7
        street challenges.  The following is a chart of the city circuit
        mode:

--Winning in City Circuit mode--
        To be successful in City Circuit mode, you have to know your team.
        Know your teams strengths and weaknesses.  You have to know what kind
        of players to pick up off of the other teams and knowing your teams
        weaknesses greatly improves your chances of succeeding in this mode.
        Know before hand whether you're goal is to get create-a-balla points,
        or to get new players.  Then you can work more fully towards that
        goal.  The key to this mode is to know what your going up against.
        If you know your opponents weaknesses, you can adjust your lineup
        accordingly and make it easier on yourself.  For instance, if they're
        small, put out big guys.  If they're bad at handling, put in guys
        that are good at stealing.  But the big thing to remember is to never
        give up!

****************************
* 8.5. HOLD THE COURT MODE *
****************************

--How Hold The Court is set up--
        Hold The Court mode is set up so that you have to play challenging
        teams on each court, and you have to break the winning streak and the
        trick point total.  There are 12 courts.

--Winning in Hold The Court Mode--
        To be successful in Hold The Court mode, first you have to unlock all
        of the courts by beating the City Circuit mode.  After you beat that
        mode, you can go to Hold The Court Mode with the team you beat City
        Circuit mode.  This way, you'll have a better team and a better
        chance of winning. This mode is designed especially to unlock the
        create-a-balla features, so once you get your balla good enough to
        start, you're basically set for this mode.  One big key to this mode
        is to never let the other team intimidate you, no matter how many
        stars were chosen for it and keep the gameplan simple.

***********************
* 8.6. CREATE-A-BALLA *
***********************

--Where to unlock new stuff--
        You can unlock new stuff for Create-A-Balla in Hold The Court mode.
        There you can unlock new looks, outfits, shoes and points.

--Where to get lot's of points--
        You can get points in either City Circuit mode or Hold The Court
        mode, but City Circuit mode is better for points.  The big thing about
        Hold The Court mode is that you can unlock new looks, outfits, and
        shoes.  But, even though you can unlock points, too, the most points
        you can unlock per game is 25.  If you're looking for points, you
        definitely want to play City Circuit mode.  There, you can get up to
        100 points for your balla per game.
