NBA 09 The Inside is the follow up to the the past two first party PS3 basketball titles. The game looks to build upon what was started last year to take things to the next level, but does not succeed. Although some new features were added, the game has too many lingering issues. It's definitely pretty, but needs some depth to really compete in the basketball sim market.

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.

Sorry, just not interested in basketball games... unless you bring back NBA Jam maybe that was hours of fun.
