NBA Street V3 is a Slam Dunk!

User Rating: 8.9 | NBA Street V3 GC
In NBA Street V3, GameBreakers return to their original format, becoming once again unpocketable. This time, while in the air just before landing a dunk, the person controlling the GameBreaker can do tricks with the right analog stick (C-stick for Gamecube users) or pass the ball to teammates. Depending on how well these tricks are executed, and how long the ball is passed (each player may only have the ball once during a Gamebreaker), a dunk could be worth two to four points, and the opposing player's score would be subtracted by one, causing a three-to-five point swing. In an NBA Scoring game, the score changes become three to five points for the offense and a loss of two for the defense, amounting to a five-to-seven point swing. The risks added by this mechanic are the possibility of overdoing the tricks and therefore missing the basket, or (due to the variance in offensive points) allowing an opponent to take advantage of a poor or failed Gamebreaker to entirely reverse the momentum of the game. The same controls for the Gamebreaker apply in the new Dunk Contest feature. The "trick stick" is also used on the ground for specific tricks, while the trick button now performs a random trick.
