Some info from the review: "No matter where you are or what you're doing if you hear the word sports what's one of the first things that comes to mind? For many of us it will be a combination of different types of sports that will flash through our minds, but you have to admit that basketball will probably be one of the top three, that is for the majority of us at least. For many individuals, especially during basketball season their schedule revolves around when/where the games are played (that is if it's pro basketball but for some maybe even their kids schedule) whether it's watching the game on T.V. or seeing the big game live. If you're a basketball fan on any level then you probably already own several different types of basketball games and I'm sure you will just as well want to add Ballers: Chosen One if you haven't already because being a fan means you have to get it plain and simple."
As the NBA Playoffs are in full swing, Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic is the recipient of the 2010-11 Kia NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award. Howard becomes the first player to earn the honor three straight seasons; only Dikembe Mutombo and Ben Wallace, with four each, have won the award more times. Howard, best known to NBA fans as Superman, talks about his love of video games in this exclusive video interview.
LOS ANGELES, California – Orlando Magic All-Star Dwight Howard has been on the cover of two video games. Best known as Superman for his amazing dunks, Howard was on the cover of Midway Games NBA Ballers game and then EA Sports NBA Live 10 game. Ironically, both of those game franchises are now dead. But Howard’s career continues to surge with his skills on the hardwoods. Howard checked out Sony’s PlayStation Players Lounge next to the Staples Center before the 2011 NBA All-Star Game. He talks about his love of video games in this exclusive video interview.
Joystiq via ESPN writes: "Electronic Arts and Midway have shelved their competing arcade-style basketball franchises, as ESPN reports that both NBA Street and NBA Ballers have been benched.
Regarding NBA Street, EA Sports boss Peter Moore explains to ESPN that the division is reevaluating its mixture of licensed and original IP, adding that "we need to develop some new things." But don't go expecting anything particularly edgy to come out of this moment of clarity. "If Wii Sports has taught us anything," adds Moore, "it's that people will sit there and play big head tennis all day long. We need to be able to tap into that audience.'"
thank goodness, nba street was refreshing when it first came out but the premise and lack of innovation got old real quick
