Sadly, that tired, been-there-done-that feeling is exactly what NBA Ballers: Chosen One delivers, only it does not have the excuse of being over a decade old.
As soon as the game gets to the bland menu screen to start the game, you know you are in trouble. When a game can list all its modes across the bottom of the screen in one line, including behind the scenes trinkets and options, you know there is not enough here to keep you busy very long. For actual gameplay, the game offers story mode, a few practice and quick game choices, or Live. It also offers you the chance to create your own 'baller', with the most generic create-a-player systems you will ever have the displeasure to see. What kind of a basketball game allows you to select a specific birthday, but uses numberless sliders for height and weight?"
