NBA Baller Beats Shooting Hoops on Kinect This Fall

NBA Baller Beats

Written Wednesday, April 25, 2012 By Richard Walker

Do you want to perfect your killer crossover? Of course you do. You'll be wanting to get your hands on NBA Baller Beats this autumn then, offering the opportunity to master your "mad ball handling skills" using a real basketball, as you enjoy the beats of a pumping soundtrack from the likes of Run DMC, Kanye West, Them Crooked Vultures, Gorillaz, Tiesto, Common (who also narrates the teaser trailer below) and others.

Tracking your entire body and the movement of the ball, NBA Baller Beats hopes to help basketball players "perform like a pro", enabling you to train alongside your favourite NBA team, unlocking songs, difficulty levels, more than 100 posters and trading cards showcasing various NBA moves along the way.

Music is supposed to act as your guide in NBA Baller Beats, as you perform basic dribbling, crossovers, pump fakes, behind the back moves and around the world. Pffrt... We can already do all of that. You'll also be able to increase your stamina in the game's single-player mode, as well as practice your different skills in Move School. There's also a multiplayer mode for showing off or for going head-to-head against up to 8-players, with the highest score winning.

NBA Baller Beats is scheduled for tip off this fall. Check out the teaser trailer right here.

	WTF..? IF you want to play a sports game take you ass outside. I cant be a Jedi, a CIA Operative, an MI6 operative, etc... In Real Life* so I play games like Star Wars, CoD, Bond, etc... But for fudge sakes a Kinect Sports game? *NOTE: I served in the US Army and "retired" so there's no longer can I fulfil my dreams of doing Wetworks... LOL

	Eh, think I'll just go outside and play with friends, all the while exercising and not, ya know, risking my expensive TV and Xbox.

	sound interesting if it works but you could just go outside and make an ass of yourself when everyone sees how poorly you handle a basketball at least then the only thing that's shattered is your self esteem and not your tv, xbox and kinect

	This is pathetic. Where the heck are you supposed to dribble a ball in the house? The bathroom? The kitchen? Am I the only person in the whole world whose apartment is mostly carpeted? Last time I checked it ain't that easy to dribble on a carpet

	The only time i've sucessfully dribbled on a carpet is when i'm watching a channel starting with the number 9.

	Oh well I won't be getting this then, I have laminate flooring and I can hear my downstairs neighbour going crazy already. Lose the ball and I will get it

	@15 I can't think of many floor surfaces that would work; mine are wood, but I can only imagine how loud that would be in my lounge- the wife, neighbours and cat would all go mental!

	The faces he makes during the entire video exemplify why people typically get made fun of while playing motion controlled games. Priceless.

	I have a Kinect and love it - especially for the new Tiger Woods game. I'm a huge basketball fan and love to play. However, this sounds like a terrible idea!
