okay. lets start with the good and bad stuff first. the game's graphics make u feel that the stars are with u. the rags to riches is really fun. u get to start out on the streets and work ur way up to play the biggest stars. it feels so cool when u finally get 3,000,000 credits and unlock yao ming's school. yao ming's school (can u believe that) u can also get the houses of stefan marbury, kobe bryant, shaq, vince carter, tim duncan, steve francis, allen iverson and the hall of fame (thats all i remember). you can unlock a whole lotta players and they have lots of cool collectibles that u have to do a certain task to get. see bill walton in a clippers jersey! get friends, cars, magazines. plus, if you are stuck getting something. just look on a cheat website for the password to get it. the tv tournament's are really fun becausse if ur stuck on one of them, you can adjust the level to such an easy level. the best feature is the move bringin' down the house. u get house meter by doing moves. if it's full, the crowd will go "too slow, too slow!" thats ur cue. press the turbo buttons (L1,L2,R1)and press triangle in the lane. you'll go up for an alley-oop and automatically win the game (plus get alot of points). there's the good things. now come the bad things. the thing that bothers me the most is that there's no michael jordan. i'm from chicago so it really get's on my nerves.please someone answer me. why isn't there mj?????? also, sometimes in rags to riches, it'll become frustrating because u can't beat someone. that's all that's bad. here is the fun things u might see in nba ballers
john stockton dunking over shaq.
john stockton pointing and trash talking to karl malone.
ur friend crying on the side when ur opponent makes an awesome play.
gary payton picking up bill russell and throwing him(forcing him to let go of the ball)
reggie miller bouncing a ball off yao's head.
any player rolling on the ground to cross an opponent.
when u pick a player, no matter who it is, the mc will say their name and they'll make some signals to u.
ur opponent lookin' around when u pass the ball to ur friend.
a.i dancin' around in inside stuff.
and finally
you will see some people pushing each other around when one takes a shot. here are some couples i love to see do that
shaq and kobe
magic and larry
wilt and bill russell
john stockton and karl malone
lebron and carmelo
AND....
well, that's all i can think of.
there u have it, my nba ballers review (buy it)!!

Is not fun. It's one of those games, you know... You throw them down and they get RIGHT back up, but when they throw you down you stay down for 13 minutes. lol I wouldn't say buy this. Plus, the basketball aspect isn't good. Other B-Ball games are A LOT better/funner.

Some NBA/Midway games like Heat or March Madness has had it's influence on fluid basketball playing over the past 5 years but graphic and plot wise, it didn't offer. There were lack of players, no unlockables and non of the things you'd expect from a hard worked Basketball game, but NBA Ballers, it's easy to play, provides equal challenges, has a story mode 'Rags to Riches', and best of all, the gameplay. Also, the roster in NBA Ballers is much more respectable and diverse as it represents everything from the early 80s until this very day. No doubt you'll find today's established players like Allen Iverson, Stephon Marbury, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garrnett, LeBron James, Shaq, Rasheed Wallace and Gary Payton, as well as legends like Magic Johnson, Karim Abdul Jabbar, Larry Bird, Karl Malone, Scottie Pippen and more.
The gameplay is unique as it provides individual buttons to not confuse the player and making the game complicated. The main aspects of this game is the fact that you control your Juice meter, and whatever player you choose, you'll have to choose them wisely as they are all not the same. You'll see Reggie Miller scoring from the 3 point line whereas Jermaine O'Neal can't, and the attributes really come into context and plays exceedingly well in this star studded game.
The music is subtle as it goes well with the game's basketball approach. If you liked NBA Street, and are familiar with the Midway NBA games, no doubt you'll find this game amusing and worth while. It offers the ultimate street basketball experience and never before seen, 1 vs. 1 vs. 1 game mode. The game is strong and you should really check it out.
