NBA Ballers: Chosen One Critic Reviews
Stop me if you heard this one: You’re a talented baller who grew up playing hoops in the grimy basketball courts in your neighborhood and the only thing that really matters is showing your stuff and proving you’ve got what it takes to go pro. It’s...read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at GameZone
There were several competitions when I would nail four three-pointers, jam home five dunks and get a +1 or 2 in both categories while others, like my player's speed, would nearly always get a +4. Every category gets a bump of +1 when you win a game, but...read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at IGN
With that said, it's not a great one, either. NBA Ballers: Chosen One has its moments, but none of them justify dropping $59.99. Midway just didn't do enough to flesh out the street ball experience. Otherwise, this could have been the new NBA Jam we've...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
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

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
Save the money slated for this game towards a new pair of Air Jordans. They look better and are guaranteed to offer more mileage....read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at GameTrailers
NBA Ballers: Chosen One deserves credit for trying to bring some new ideas to a genre that isn't known for mixing things up. But while many of these ideas may have seemed good during the design phase, they don't work in the context of the actual gameplay....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
Any other missteps pale in comparison to how unapproachable the game becomes for not teaching newcomers how to play it. With other, better street basketball games available, NBA Ballers: Chosen One is definitely one to be skipped....read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at UGO
It’s been roughly four years since Midway first introduced gamers to NBA Ballers, a game of street ball meant to strip away rules and regulations, leaving fans with a fun, over-the-top arcade experience. The original game was a slam dunk with gamers and...read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at TeamXBOX
Along with the Story mode (using only a created character) and Game Mode (using your customized character, NBA players or Legends to play an event of your choice), you’ll also be able to take games online. You can play in any of the game modes, but just...read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at GamersHell
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
Though there’s only one real flaw of note in Ballers: Chosen One, it’s a pretty major one. It takes everything good about the game’s design (and there’s a lot) and ends up rendering it almost moot. If you don’t care too much about precise game p...read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at G4 - X-Play
If this were a XBOX Live download, available for around £10, we would have been a little more forgiving of the games shortfalls. As a full price game, we just can't let them slide....read the complete NBA Ballers: Chosen One review at Totally360
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
