''From the studio that brought MLB 08: The Show, SCEA San Diego brings fans a basketball game full of deep customization, feature sets, and true-to-life gameplay with NBA 09 The Inside. The NBA franchise on PS3 introduced a truly next-generation basketball experience, delivering smooth, ultra-realistic hoops action that utilizes 1080p HD at 60 frames per second to produce unsurpassed visuals. SCEA San Diego Studios entered this season not only furthering the franchise's graphical capabilities, but also including a number of new features along with enhanced gameplay functionality.''

"But if fast goofy fun is all you want from your basketball game, that's great. But you certainly shouldn't be expected to pay the same sixty bucks the top NBA games command."
Would Crispy Gamer play this game for more than an hour? No.
Why? They don't have the head for technically sound, five-person basketball. They would rather just push people over and put up massive dunks.
With a token nod to the role-playing as athlete mode most sports titles are including these days, The Inside's version, "The Life," is shallow and lifeless and, thus, not worth living through.

4 out of 5 ....the biggest sony supporter me would have to give this game a 2 . ... I bought it i buy all sony exclusive ...this game sucks....go with nba2k.....spend $120 on basketballs game.
still going to be crap. Why do they make these? Everybody knows 2K9 is the winner then live 09 and then this is dead last. Live 09 looks great this year so its going to be tough between live and 2k. But i've gotten 2k since the first one on the dreamcast so i'm sticking with what i know and love.
