~Version Update~
1.0 - Guide is posted.
1.1 - I just had to change a VERY small mistake.
1.2 - I added a new hint to the Hint Section.
1.3 - Corrected one of my mistakes and I added a new section; Frequently Asked Questions 

------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ~Intro~
Hi everyone and welcome to my first walkthrough written. I do not 
mind if you want to copy this walkthrough and post it somewhere else 
but if you do, it would be nice if you gave me some credit. However, 
if you post my walkthrough somewhere else I request that you email 
me saying that you have. I hope that you find this guide helpfull. 
You might notice I write SP and SC sometimes. That stands for Street 
Points and Street Challenge.

2. ~Contact Info.~
If you are having any problems with my walkthrough, feel free to
email me at [email protected] Also, if you find anything wrong 
with my guide please email me as soon as you can so I can fix it.
If you feel that you will just be talking trash while you are reading 
this guide, just dont read it. Its that simple. Moving on.
Thank you.

------------------------------------------------------------------ 
3. ~Basic and Advanced Controls~
Lets start with the "basic" controls. These are the controls you 
will be using most often.

Basic

Offense-
L1, L2, R1, R2 = Turbo
Square = Trick Moves
Triangle = Not used in offense
Circle = Shoot/Dunk/Lay-Up
X = Pass
Right Analog Stick = Trick Stick
Left Analog Stick = Move player
Arrows = Move Player
Start = Pause
 
Defense-
L1, L2, R1, R2 = Same 
Square = Steal
Triangle = Block/Rebound
Circle = Not used in defense
X = Switch Player
Right Analog Stick = Not used in defense
Left Analog Stick = Move player
Arrows = Move Player
Start = Pause

Now lets go on to the "advanced" controls. These I call "advanced" 
because to some people they are harder to remember and you also dont 
use these controls as often as the basic ones. 

Advanced 

Gamebreaker Shot - O + 2 Turbos
Trick Counter - Square + 2 Turbos


------------------------------------------------------------------
4. ~Game Modes~

a. Game On-Game On is a basic 3-3 game. In this mode you can only 
          choose your team. The 3 best players AND court are picked
          randomly.
b. Pick Up-Pick Up is similar to Game On. The only thing different is 
          here you get to choose your favorite players and your 
          favorite court.
c. Street Challenge-In this mode you get to Play different teams and 
          build up your Rep. But before you start you must create 
          your own Baller to be the captain of your team and you must
          create a Court so you can host games in your "hood". As you 
          proceed with the game you get SP (Street Points) which you 
          can then use to upgrade your ballers skills (see 7e)and 
          upgrade your court as well (see 7a). 
          *After winning a game in this mode you can pick a baller 
          from the opposing team and add them to yours. If you 
          already have five people on your team, you must replace 
          one of the players on your team with the person from the 
          opposite team.
d. Dunk Contest-The Dunk Contest is a mode where you get to choose your
          favorite dunker and show your moves and you better do some 
          good moves because you get judged. In this mode you can do 
          freeball pass and do mid-air tricks. Here are I think about
          all the freeball passes.

Pressing X will bounce the ball behind your back.

Pressing X + L1 will bounce the ball behind the back and through the legs.

Pressing X + R1 will toss the ball behind the back, then hit it with your elbow behind the back.

Pressing X and clicking the Left hit will lob the ball.

Pressing X + L1 + R1 will place the ball on the floor and kick it.

Pressing X + L1 and hitting the Left Analog stick will bounce the ball off your knee.

Pressing X + R1 and hitting the Left Analog stick will bounce the ball and kick it behind the back.

Pressing X + L1 + R1 and hitting the Left Analog stick will toss the ball up and kick it with the inside of your foot.
This was sent in by one of my friends named Josh.

f.Practice-You know what they say; Practice makes Perfect. So this mode is 
          for you to practice and become a skilled player at NBA Street
          V3.

------------------------------------------------------------------
5. ~Playing Online~
Now you can play NBA Street online. You can play against anyone that
is online while you are. To be able to play online you will need to 
select a Network Configuration file and create an EA Account. After 
you log on, create a Persona (it is supposed to be spelled that way).
To talk with your opponent you will need to have a USB Headset. If you 
have a USB Headset plugged into your console and you cannot talk to
the opponent your opponent might not have a USB Headset plugged into
their console or you and your opponent might low connection to each 
other.

------------------------------------------------------------------
6. ~Create A Baller~
Here you can build your own baller. This baller can also be used in 
Street Challenge and the Dunk contest. If you want to use your baller 
in Pick Up mode you must create a team and put your baller on the 
team. Here is the team I reccomend you creating.

Your own Baller (if he has good skills) if not then Bonafide (Street Legend)
Stretch (One of the Street Legends)
Takashi (Also one of the Street Legends)
Biggie Littles (Another Street Legend)
Kobe Bryant (Lakers player)

------------------------------------------------------------------
7. ~Customization~

a. Court Creator-Here you can create and customize your own court.
          In Street Challenge mode, your customized court is your
          homecourt. You can use your SP to add new stuff to your
          homecourt.
b. Shoe Creator-This place is the "Shoe Shop". You pick your 
          favorite shoe and customize it however you want. You can 
          have up to 10 pairs of shoes.
c. V3 Store-This is the place where you can add new shoes, jersies
          tattoos, and other accesories.
d. Save Wardrobe-Save your outfit that you have created for your 
          baller here. 
e. Buy/Edit Skills-This is the place I suggest spending most of your
          SP at. This is where you can upgrade your baller's skills.
          I suggest that this is the best place to spend SP Points 
          because the way your baller handles or dunks or whatever 
          is based on his attributes. So if he has low handle, he 
          wont be able to do 4 turbo moves as well. 
f. Trick Book-Here you can rename tricks you have unlocked with a
          name of your own. You can also customize what tricks your
          baller can use.
g. Barber Shop-If you dont like your ballers hair or facial hair
          this is the place to come and fix your guys problem.
h. Create Team-You must create a team before you go playing in 
          Street Challenge. Add your favorite NBA All-Stars or
          NBA Legends to your team. If you have a created baller
          you can put him on this team.

------------------------------------------------------------------
8. ~Rewards~

Here is where you can unlock Legends and Courts if you are so eager 
to get these stuff. But....They do cost if you want to buy them.

a. Street Legends
Here are the list of Street Legends and how much they cost. You
can get these Legends in Street Challenge mode instead of buying 
them. You can unlock all of these Legends in SC. For 2 of the Street 
Legends I did not write down their cost down while I was playing 
the game so I just wrote Unlock in SC.

Street Legends - Costs     
--------------------------------
Beastie Boys   - 500 SP
Biggie Littles - Unlock in SC
Dime           - Unlock in SC            
Takashi        - 2000 SP
Phat           - 2500 SP
Bonafide       - 3000 SP
Stretch        - 4000 SP

b. Courts
Here are a list of all the courts. If you see that I write D/N sometimes,
it means you can choose it as Day or Night. I suggest that you dont buy 
these courts from the Rewards section because in SC (Street Challenge)
as your Rep. goes up you unlock new courts.

Courts
--------------------------------
Your Homecourt (if you have one)
The Hawk
Foss Park
Tandy
The Hawk
The Cage
The Dome
MacGregor Park
Brighton Beach
Venice Beach D/N
Gun Hill D/N
Dyckman D/N
Mosswood D/N
Rucker Park D/N

c. Dunk Contest Trophies
Here are the list of all the Dunk Contest Trophies you can win in SC.
Note that these cannot be bought you have to beat the Dunk Contest in
SC that is named after the Trophies. Also the only trphies you can get 
are Dunk Contest Trophies.

Torphies
--------------------------------
Future Of Flight
RBK Challenge 
New York
Legendary Status
History Lesson Part 1
History Lesson Part 2

d. Other
You can also unlock NBA Legends in here by buying them as well. Also, 
you can check High Scores here as well.

------------------------------------------------------------------
9. ~Hints~
Here are a couple of hints that you might find usefull. 

SC Bonus-
When you beat Street Challenge (SC), you get 50,000 SP.

Easy 5,000 SP-
Create a new baller (since this event decreases Rep. points), and 
go into SC. When you get there just skip everyday until your done.
Instead of getting 50,000 SP, you get only 5,000 SP. This hint was 
given to me by one of my friends; Josh, who lives in LA.

Unlock Everything 
To unlock all of the Street Legends, NBA Legends, get all the V3 
Store gear and courts, complete the 10 weeks in Street Challenge.

Easy Biggie Littles
To do Biggie Littles easily just press all 4 turbos and move the
Trick Stick up. This was also sent in by Josh.

Easy Off The Heezay
Press 2 turbos and X while facing your opponent to do an easy Off 
The Heezay.

Back 2 Papa
To do a Back 2 Papa, hit 2 turbos and X while facing the basket.

More Gamebreaker Points
When you have a Gamebreaker, go in for the dunk. Once you jump hold
all 4 Turbos and move the Trick Stick in different directions. Keep
doing this till someone jumps on top of than pass it.(If no one jumps 
then you are so screwed so make sure they are down court before you 
dunk.) Now do the same process as you did before. Now pass it again.
Now with this guy dont do that many moves because now you gotta dunk
but you might be able to a couple moves but not that much. Once your
dunk is over you should get somewhere around 300,000 points.
