This is the fastest way to get right into the game.
To Play a Quick Game

Select QUICK GAME from the Main menu.
•
On the Select Sides screen, move your Controller to the left side of the screen if you want the ball first. If you want to play defense first, move your Controller to the right.
•
Up to four players can play a multiplayer game. Only one User ID can be used per team.
•
From the Select Teams screen, choose the match-up. Press the X Button to make random selections.

Choose your seven players or select AUTO PICK PLAYERS to let the CPU pick your players.

Choose a playing field. Press the X Button to pick a random field.
On the Field
With a little practice and a lot of attitude, you'll be a legend in no time.
Game Screen
In a Style Point Challenge, each offensive possession begins with the same field position to give you plenty of room to rack up some points.
Playcalling
On offense you can pick Run, Pass, and Trick plays. On defense, the three options are Stop Run, Short Pass, and Long Pass.
Each of the play types has multiple pages of plays to choose from to keep the other team guessing. Press the Y Button to flip the play before choosing it. Press L Button /R Button to scroll the pages.
GameBreakers
When you earn enough Style Points, you're rewarded with a GameBreaker that you can use whenever it's available. There are two levels of GameBreakers.
When you use a level 1 GameBreaker on offense each broken tackle, juke, spin, hurdle, pass, catch, and stiff arm deplete it until it's empty.
If you wait until you've compiled enough Style Points to unleash a GameBreaker 2, your team automatically starts the play for you with some incredible athletic moves, which usually leads to a turnover when you're playing defense, or an easy score when you're on the offensive side of the ball.
When your opponent has an active GameBreaker, you can cancel it by activating one of your own, unless it's a GameBreaker 2. The difference between your meters determines how much GameBreaker remains.
New Hot Spots
Hot Spots are posters on the walls of various fields in NFL STREET 2. Throwing down a Wall Move on a Hot Spot or tackling a ball carrier into one gives you a big boost in your GameBreaker Meter and changes the Hot Spot to your team's logo.
It also unlocks Legends posters that you can track in the Stats and Rewards section of the Main menu. Legends are available in Pick Up games once they are unlocked. Once you have unlocked all of the Legends you can select the Legends Team.
Pause Menu
Press START/PAUSE to access the Pause menu. From there you can check out and adjust your lineup, change your options, review the Controller layout, or quit the game and return to the Main menu.
Game Modes
Challenge the best players online, create a team, and work your way out of the hood in the new Own the City mode. You can also take on the best in the NFL and much more.
Pickup Game
Like any old-school pickup game, you alternate picks with your opponent to choose teams. Only in NFL STREET 2, you're choosing from a pool of current NFL players and Legends.
After you pick your seven players, set up the game as you would a Quick Game.
New Own the City
Create a player, pull together a team from your hood, and dominate the streets one field at a time. Recruit the best players from the teams you beat as you build a rep and pave your way to the ultimate showdown in the City against Xzibit's all-star team of NFL Players.
The fields you need to conquer are shown on the Own the City map. Select a field and start working your way down the list of challenges that range from Pickup games, Street Events, and team games that pit your squad against the local teams.
Each victory earns you Credits, which can be used in stores to purchase clothing, gear, tattoos, and more.
NFL Challenge
Build a team and introduce your stylin' self to the NFL. Win challenges and earn Development Points that improve your squad.
After completing the challenges, you move on to a Tournament where you see how you stack up against the best in the NFL.
