NBA Homecourt demo alert

By Robert Purchese Published 2 February, 2007

Dunk the funk in Feb.

Leave those squeaks of a parquet floor behind, because we're taking this mother to the street, er, apparently. That's right my dog, NBA Street Homecourt is available on Xbox Live right now.

It's EA's basketball for the next-generation, built from the ground up to make the new technology grunt. With no holds barred it aims to take everything over the top, using new tricks, dunks, and plenty shirt-off attitude.

Create a character and play from zero to hero, or play as an established giant of the sport and unleash hidden master skills.

If that isn't enough to get your sweat-bands dripping, then play as one of six female NBA stars, or take your 3v3 game online, to er, represent.

The full-version of the game is due for release on 23rd March.

Meanwhile we'd advise you slam dunk your way to Eurogamer TV for a faceful of the recent trailers of the game.

    NOT filled with confidence about this.

    Sounds very "EA" to me.

  • ronuds #3 5 years ago

    EA's had 2 years to work on this one and I'd bet anything that there is very little difference from the previous version.

    As usual, I'll pass on this one.

    @Kato: That's my question, too. :(
    Hey, but don't be blue though, because we get to download a trailer all about the game's story instead! [/sarcasm] I was looking forward to playing that DJ:I demo yesterday, figured it was just a US time difference thing, so stayed quiet. Now it's the weekend, but no demo, or word on what's happened, so that it's not up.

    Nothing left but to burst out laughing at the fact that there's currently an entry on Xbox Live Marketplace under "games" for "Def Jam Icon: The Story" - shouldn't that just be "Def Jam Icon", then all the content like trailers and so wind up under the one heading? Yeah, small consolation, that.

    Rob Purchese, you're not funny. Stop trying.

    The demo's pretty cool actually,can't see it having much of a lifespan single player wise though.
    Some the slam dunks and taunting moves are keeeerazy(I'm guessing it's what Fifa Street is kind of like,guessing as I've never played that shite)I especially like the doubler when they flip off of the backboard to immediately score again.
    Ohhh and nice graphics too.
