Like the previous game, NBA Street Vol. 2 consists of 3-on-3 street basketball. There are 29 fully playable NBA teams from the 2002–03 NBA season in all modes once unlocked. The game also features four different modes to choose from including a Pick Up Game, NBA Challenge, Be a Legend, and Street School. The game also features several new trick moves and dunks, as well as introducing a level two "gamebreaker". Players will also earn reward points after every game that they win, which can be used to purchase many rewards such as players, jerseys, and courts. If players win a certain number of games, some rewards will be automatically unlocked. In addition to "street legends", players can also unlock "NBA legends", including Larry Bird, Julius Erving, and others. The game, at the time of release, was the only available game on the market in which three incarnations of Michael Jordan are playable: the 1985 Chicago Bulls Jordan, the 1996 Chicago Bulls Jordan, and the Washington Wizards Jordan. It is possible to play as a team made up of the three different Jordans. The game also features an in-game soundtrack with tracks from artists including Nate Dogg featuring Eve, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Erick Sermon featuring Redman, Benzino, MC Lyte, Black Sheep and a previously unreleased song from Nelly, who appears in the game as a playable character, along with the other members of the St. Lunatics. It also features instrumental beats from producer Just Blaze. A feature called Gamebreaker is included. When players fill up their gamebreaker meter, they have the option to either use a Gamebreaker One or save it for a Gamebreaker Two. Either way, once they use it, their team will earn more points and the opposing team will lose points. However, if players or the opposing team takes too long, they will lose their gamebreaker. If the opposing team saves their Gamebreaker, players they can use their Gamebreaker to cancel theirs.

There are four modes in the game. Pick Up Game - In this mode, players are able to play against the computer, or another user. They can also choose to turn the shot clock off. NBA Challenge - In this mode players have to play against a series assigned teams in various regional courts. In NBA Challenge, players are able to unlock NBA Legends as well as courts, and reward points. Be a Legend - This is the main mode in the game. In this mode, players create a baller, create a team and try to succeed by going from being a nobody to becoming the Street Legend champ. In order to do that, they have to gain a reputation by playing pick up games that are assigned on the map, which will lead to tournaments against street legends. The higher a player's reputation goes, the more competition they get. Also in this mode, players get to unlock the street legend characters, courts, jerseys, trick moves and their own created player. They will also earn a nickname based on their skills. Street School - This mode teaches players how to play the game. The mentor is street ball legend Stretch Monroe, who will teach 26 lessons.
