Setting Up the Game
Play your game with your rules with NFL STREET 3. Assemble a team and dominate the streets—on the ground and in the air—like never before. The best place to begin is a Quick Game.
User ID
Before you storm the streets, be sure to create a User ID to keep track of your personal stats and accomplishments. An active User ID saves high scores, statistics, and more to your memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2).
Controller Select Screen/Game Settings Screen
Before your Quick Game begins, decide if you want to play the game with an active User ID. This way your stats can be saved to your memory card. You can also load a User ID from the Controller Select screen that can only be used to load a Created Team into game.
This User ID doesn't become the default, and your stats for the game won't be saved. This User ID must be selected from the Controller Select screen after it has been loaded in order to play with the Created Team.
Next, pick the teams for the upcoming game from the Game Settings screen. From here you can also change the game's Difficulty level, User Assist, Game Type, and Location. Once the settings are set, the teams take to the streets.
Game Types
There's more to just scoring the most points on gameday—and you can decide how to play your game. Do you have the all-around skills to dominate every aspect of the game? Let's see what you got.
Street football as you know and love it. The first player to reach the required score wins the game.
All Style Points recorded by both teams go into a bank until a touchdown is scored. The team that scores collects the points, and the bank returns to zero after each score. The game ends when the winning team earns the required amount of points.
Players receive points in non-traditional ways with big plays on defense. The team that scores the required amount of points first wins.
Both teams start off with the same amount of offensive plays in the playbook. Run a play with negative results or a play that gains zero yards (such as an incomplete pass) and that play is removed from your playbook. The team with the most points when the losing team runs out of plays wins the game.
Teams have one minute to score points. Score in under a minute and the extra time on the clock is awarded as points. The team with the most points when time expires wins the game.
Every yard gained earns points; passing yards are worth one point and rushing yards are worth two. The first team to reach a pre-determined set amount of total yards and score a touchdown wins.
User Assist
When User Assist is set to ON it's easier for you to catch up in the scoring when playing against the CPU. Hopefully you won't need to rely on this helpful feature very often.
Playing the Game
Use an arsenal of super moves to hit in-game targets and activate bonuses, then choose the game type before each game. Whether you're launching yourself off trash cans or triggering a momentum-swinging Game Breaker, earn respect among the NFL brotherhood and win over the streets.
Tutorials
The quickest way to get your game up to speed is by checking out the interactive tutorials. See what's new, what's hot, and what not to do. After educating yourself by playing out the action on the field, put your knowledge to the test in one of the many game modes featured in NFL STREET 3. Game Breakers
When you earn enough Style Points, you're rewarded with a Game Breaker that you can use on offense or defense to turn the tide of the game. Players can bank up to three Game Breaker tokens which can be used to pull off any of the various Game Breaker moves. Both offense and defense have a variety of moves. Time them correctly and you can counter the other side's Game Breaker move.
Signature Style
Make your fiercest rivals look silly by taunting them with a unique Signature Style move at any point during the game. Every player comes equipped with four Signature Style moves—use them often.
