Arcade sports games have always been a strange beast. Most have been designed around multiplayer madness, with you and your friends in a room shouting at each other while performing feats that defy the laws of physics. And accordingly, their single-player modes have tended to be somewhat lacking.
So developers have tried to freshen things up in the arcade sports genre by introducing “career” or “lifestyle” modes. Here, the idea is to begin out as a nobody in your sport, and take your game to the top. NBA Ballers: Chosen One is one of those games. It’s the fourth game in Midway’s NBA Ballers series, which is all about the basketball/hip-hop high life.
Sure, we’d all like to be paid millions of dollars to play a sport for a living, but unfortunately, I’m barely 5′7″, and I don’t have much stamina when it comes to running up and down a basketball court (or running in general, now that I think of it). As such, I checked out Chosen One, because videogames — especially sports games — are all about living vicariously. To find out how it went, hit the jump for Destructoid’s review of NBA Ballers: Chosen One.
