NBA Ballers: Chosen One allows players to live the life of an NBA superstar. The game features competitive combo and super-move systems.
Gameplay
When playing, your performance determines the evolution of your career as a basketball player and as a superstar. The game features new moves to the series, such as "Shut 'Em Down" super moves and Act-A-Fool combos. The game can be played single-player, multi-player and online play, with options to play 1-v-1, 2-v-2 or 1-v-1-v-1 matches. As well as online play, downloadable content is available and features over 500 new items including players. Hip-hop legend Chuck D calls the play-by-play action while hip-hop producer Just Blaze created over 30 custom tracks for the game. The gameplay itself, however, has taken a more realistic approach this time, as the 'Baller On Fire' and 'Bring Down the House' abilities from the first two games do not return in Chosen One.
