NBA Ballers: Phenom Hints

  • Xbox, PS2 | Submitted by Tyty

    Easy Win in a Tournament

    All you need to do is buy something from a food stand in a shopping district and while playing a game, if your opponent is first, then let him shoot. Once the ball goes in, press SELECT and choose the food item you bought and it will instantly fill your house meter. If you have the ball first, make your opponent steal the ball from you and make him shoot. As said above, once the opponent makes the shot, press SELECT and choose your food item and it will instantly fill your house meter. To BRING DOWN THE HOUSE, dash your opponent by performing juke moves(repeatedly press square) to get out of your ooponent's way. Then press and HOLD R1and R2 while running towards the basket. and RIGHT AFTER YOU PASS THE FREE THROW LINE, IMMEADIATELY PRESS TRIANGLE. Then you will break the backboard and game over! Next Person! Well, that's how you easily win a match.

    Sparkly Ball

    In the shopping districts

    When you are walking around in the shopping districts, sometimes your ball will sparkle. When your ball sparkles, press circle and your guy will throw his ball at something. When you actually hit something other than a wall, most of the time a diamond will pop out.
