NBA Ballers is one of the best basketball games ever. Rags 2 Riches is a blast and just playing a regular game is fun. Making your own house is a very cool feature and its fun to create a baller. One thing that makes the game fun to play is the great music. NBA Ballers brings streetball to your home but doesn't go to far. Midway has created the perfect balance of street and regular ball. This game is one of a kind and everyone should get it.

OK SO YOU EMBARK INTO THIS GAME TO FIND OUT THAT THE GAME AI CHEATS, THE OPPONENT ALWAYS CATCHES UP, ALWAYS GETS THE REBOUND AND MAKES IMPOSSIBLE SHOTS. AND IT IS INFURIATING. BUT IF YOU PERSIST, YOU WILL FIND A GAME THAT IS SO ADDICTING, SO SATISFYING, YOU'LL THANK GOD YOU GAVE IT IT ANOTHER CHANCE.
THE FACT THAT IT CHEATS MAKES YOU WANT TO BEAT IT MORE AND IN THE END YOU'RE CHANTING HAAAAHHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
THIS GAME WILL EAT YOUR LIFE.
PLUS IT'S AWESOME, YOU CAN'T EVER EMBARASS SOMEONE THIS MUCH IN BASKETBALL LET ALONE IN LIFE.
BUY IT TO SEE WHAT I MEAN, OR RENT IT BUT REALLY SPEND A WHILE TO GET INTO IT.
IT IS WORTH IT.

not the deepest basketball game ever, but the deepest arcade game ever. i am barely a fan of basketball, but i love this title. The single and multi player aspects are so well made, midway really went through alot of work to make this a worthy console title and not just an arcade port. im sure glad they are out of the arcade business.

the multi player in my opinion is the best part. One on one with a friend is so much fun. I havnt screamed and laughed so hard playing a video game since...since...halo. Even better, if u have 3 friends, u can go One vs One vs One. That is where the craziness begins, makes you forget bout the long load times.

then there is single player, not as great as the multi player, but still packs a punch. The Rags To Riches Mode is great, it serves as a story mode. You start off as a nobody, battling one on ones with a set of no names, then move on to the pros. Similar to Aggressive Inline, your stats increase by practicing your moves while battling the pros. For example, the more you dunk, your stats automatically increase. The more steals, blocks etc u do, the better u get at it.

Of course this game is gonna be compared to NBA Street, i think its far deeper than Street, more fun, and more apealing. The whole bling bling thing just kicks bootay, and is totally original

i dont know why there are so many negative reviews, this is the best basketball game, next in line with the ESPN series, which is why it is amung the top 5 selling game this month.
pick this one up

This game is the best basketball game ever. Rags to riches is fun same with the tv turnament. All the moves you can do, bring down the house, act a fool, ankelbreakers, and playground all cool. There is so many moves, dunks, layups, cars ect. This game will never get boring unless you playit 24/7. I hope that there is a NBA Ballers 2 in the future.

A lot of people have been very skeptical about this game, but I played it at the NBA All Star game and I'm here to tell you that NBA Ballers is a ton of FUN! The title is also rated "E" for everyone, so it is suitable for ALL audiences. I'm going to pick it up for sure!

this is tha best nba game i've played. it's tha best b-cause<br /> it has hella good graphics in rags to riches + it's tha only<br /> game that allows you to see tha lifestyle of real life supastars.i just love it.in a lifetime, this would have to be tha best game i'll evva play!

Yo you have to try this game. The Graphics are so real it's scary. Especially John Stockton. You can create players and turn them into superstars. You earn money and buy cars and cribs. THIS GAME ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game is fun for about a day or two, or for a party with friends. It is infuriating if you actually keep at it and try to get better and use strategy. Because of the emphasis on offense (as in NBA Street), there is precious little strategy needed to win. Defense is a lost art and a source of utter frustration; for example you may block a shot, yet it still goes in, yet when the CPU blocks, the ball falls towards them half the time. The moves are cool, the unlockables are neat, yet ultimately it is a shallow game. The whole emphasis on consumer goods (buy a nice house, car, posse, etc) is a nice idea that is poorly implemented. Ultimately, the games are all as follows: 1)dribble towards your opponent 2)Perform the "Act a Fool" moves 3)dribble by opponent 4)Shoot 5)Get back on "defense" and watch your opponent score on you, no matter what you do. Also, the utter lack of reliability in terms of the shooting is aggravating; there is no rhyme or reason to your jumpshots. You may hit them with someone in your face, yet you may miss 4 in a row while wide open. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a bad game, it's just that those looking for a little depth may want to look elsewhere (like ESPN NBA 2K4, which has a street mode not unlike this game). The graphics are okay (both ESPN NBA 2K4 and NBA Live 2004 are better) and the sounds is good, but the loading times are TERRIBLE. Seems like half the game is spent waiting to load. Rent first!

If you like good basketball games NBA ballers is the game you want.The game play is great.The game modes are the best ever.Rag to richs is fun you can make a guy and take him to the courts.NBA Ballers is the best game ever to come out.You will love playing this game you will get hooked on this game

Ok to start out this review I will try to be nice by saying that the idea for this game was really excellent-start as an average baller in the streets and work your way up to be the best balla ever. along with fame comes money, friends, cribs, cars, bling, and new moves. Excellent idea for a game, right? Well the only problem about this is that this game SUCKS BAD. just the first competition is extremely hard and the controls are beyond me-they have the weirdest moves in the weirdest places. plus, right when you start it just jumps you right into a tournament with no prior training, expirience, or well any basic knowledge of the game. What I thought would help me here was stat building, right? WRONG. You see I made it so that my 3 pointer gage was as high as you can make it in the game, yet i made 1 out of the 27 3 pointers i shot in the dang tournament. Thanks for tricking me into thinking stats actually effesct how good you are. plus the create-a-player is REALLY sucky. trust me, this is NOT the game you want to be buying, it deserves the fireplace and nowhere else(except maybe the sewer) PLEASE listen to me and dont waste your money and time as I did mine. Trust me the further you stay from this game, the better off you will be.
