Unlock Street Legends, earn Development Points, and dominate courts in NBA Street Vol. 2's Be A Legend mode. Follow our guide to build your baller and become a legend.
Take your created baller and run him up against some local goons to try and build him into a legend. Of course he won't always play the goonies but instead will gain respect and progress thru-out the ranks. Many Street Legends are unlocked through out this mode and Development Points are earned to increase your ballers skills.
Note: You must have a created baller in order to play this mode.
First off I think it's good to know how the Development points are earned in order to gain more and MAX out your baller.
Tricks: Scored by the amount of trick points you get while playing, I find that for every 1,000,000 tricks you recieve 100 Development. So 100,000 trick points would only get you 10 Development points.
Level 1 GameBreakers: You get 10 Development Points for executing one on Got Game difficulty, 25 Development Points for executing one on Mad Game difficulty and 50 Development Points for executing one on Legendary difficulty.
Level 2 GameBreakers: You get 25 Development Points for executing one on Got Game difficulty, 50 Development Points for executing one on Mad Game difficulty and 100 Development Points for executing one on Legendary difficulty.
Completed Court: When ever you complete a court (signified by a check) you earn 100 Development Points at the end of the last game.
Win/Lose: You get 100 Development Points for a win on Got Game difficulty, 150 Development Points for a win on Mad Game difficulty and 200 Development Points for a win on Legendary difficulty. Of course you get nothing for loss.
You also get rewards for building your reputation:
