Its not necessary but it is a very nice addition to have. If you think about it there are many things in this years game that arent "necessary". However they all come together to make a seemingly great game. I like playing in places other than stadiums in the video game. It gives a sense of variety and gives a changes of scenery. Nba players dont just play on the court either, they play ball for fun. otherwise Kobe wouldnt have gone to the rucker and lebron wouldnt suit up with jay-z's street stars. Not to mention the competition too much but espn has some beautiful ball grounds in their street mode, even rucker park. I atleast hope they have a different one on one setting this year besides the beach and the urban
