While Sony's basketball franchise has been exploring tons of mini-games on the PSP and pushing story-based basketball on the PS2, the PS3 versions have been somewhat light when it's come to content. That era has come to a close this year, because NBA 09: The Inside is now much larger than the title has ever been on Sony's premiere system. At E3 this year, IGN got an eyes on look at an early build of the game, and managed to see how this will be the deepest Sony developed basketball title yet.

"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.
