NBA Ballers: Chosen One Critic Reviews
Overall NBA Ballers: Chosen One delivers more of the same gameplay from the Xbox version, but with new additions that do nothing but hurt the overall formula. The multiplayer action is still fun if you can get enough friends to sit down and play with...read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at IGN
Midway hopes to cash in on the NBA Playoff craze with its arcade hoops game, NBA Ballers: Chosen One. Except instead of going crazy over blown calls and awful coaching, you can bust out tons of special moves that'll make you the king of the courts. That...read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at GameDaily
Overall NBA Ballers: Chosen One suffers from great ideas not coming together in the end. The combo system is a fantastic addition; let's just hope the problems are ironed out before the next outing. The multi-player is still addictive and beefing up your...read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at ZTGameDomain
While Ballers hits from long-range with pretty graphics and plenty of Cribz-esque intros and unique elements, it clangs off the rim a bit with its Chosen One storyline execution. But if you're in it for a rental, or to have a party game to bust out from...read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at GameSpy
NBA Ballers: Chosen One tries to do too many things at once, never really succeeded at any of them. You're probably better off buying last year's NBA Street in the bargain bin; it's much more fun....read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at Daily Game

Midway has seen a fair amount of success with their NBA Ballers franchise. The first one was well received by gamers, press, and even in sales. The sequel, on the other hand, felt like more of the same, and failed to expand on the original. Ultimately,...read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at PSX Extreme
Basketball should be fast-paced and fluid, yet Chosen One constantly slams on the brakes with impractical design decisions. Irritating computer AI, frustrating challenges, sloppy controls, and an over-reliance on performing specific combos to win are not...read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at GameTrailers
Chosen One isn't what Skee-Lo had in mind when he wished to be a baller....read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at GameSpot
EA and Midway share the rights to NBA-licensed arcade basketball games. As a result, the NBA Ballers franchise is released every other year, with EA's NBA Street series occupying the year in between. This year is NBA Ballers' time to shine and that...read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at GameSpot
Underneath the flawed appearance and inconsistent rules, I had hoped for a game that would still be a part of the NBA Ballers legacy; a game that would stay in my PS3 for months to come. And it might have – if we were in 1990. Nowadays we're used to big...read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at GameZone
Ballers had everything going for it, a NBA license, some good-looking graphics, a great perspective on what basketball is like for non-NBA stars and some fun "streetball" gameplay concepts. Somewhere down the line, the free-throw was missed, and thus it...read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at Kombo
NBA Ballers: Chosen One offers some fun for a limited amount of time, provided that you're willing to wrestle with the controls at first. Really, there's no excuse for the lack of a tutorial, especially with so many brand-new concepts being introduced....read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at UGO
If you really need a basketball fix this spring, you'd be better served grabbing one of the more traditional NBA games, as Chosen One has chosen to be a waste of time and money....read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at Worth Playing
Nearly an identical, less-than-stellar experience on the PS3 or 360 (save for knowing what you unlock after each episode on the PS3), NBA Ballers: Chosen One feels like a step back for the arcade genre. Commendation is due for trying a different approach...read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at GamersHell
Ballers celebrates the bling and showmanship of b-ball more than the actual game itself. It follows the story of a young prospect full of potential taking part in a fictitious, off-season tournament designed to prove his skills. Basically, this is...read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at G4 - X-Play
It has some nice animations and the player models look great, and it’s actually pretty decent, in small doses. But everything about the gameplay feels really mechanical and absolutely inorganic, like nothing you’re doing with the controller feels...read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at Giant Bomb
The latest NBA Ballers clangs iron in all kinds of ways, but two issues leap out most prominently: It's stuck in a game-design time warp, and it seems to have been built in a vacuum. Outside of the fantastic player faces, the generation-straddling...read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at 1UP
All in while, while not my cup of Gatorade, there are some things that die-hard arcade ballers will find interesting. I, in all honesty, was a big fan of this genre 5 years ago, but now it all just feels dated. In the case of NBA Ballers: The Chosen...read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at Gaming Age
