With gliding players prone to stepping out of bounds, animations that lock you out of reactionary movement, and lackluster commentary, the on-court action offers a similar dose of mediocrity as years past. The low post game is a mess, the strategy suffers from simplicity, and the defensive system lacks the sophistication (and usefulness) of its competition.

With a plethora of old bugs and issues rearing their head, NBA 09: The Inside has a ton of problems that overwhelm the title. It's still a fun, arcade-style basketball game, but you're going to have to put up strange gameplay problems that have plagued the franchise for years and some unrealistic court play to fully enjoy it.

There is a level of frustration that accompanies this game that simply won’t go away no matter how many games you play or in what mode. Sure, the mini-games are fun, but they cannot carry the franchise.

Un juego muy infravalorado que tuvo que competir con EA y 2K. Los gráficos son excelentes para la época, la calidad del sonido, sobretodo de los comentaristas, es genial. Los partidos son divertidos, aunque quizás en mi opinión, los jugadores son excesivamente ortopédicos y las animaciones no son lo suficientemente fluidas como para poderse medir de tú a tú con la competencia por aquel entonces. Pero a día de hoy, se echa de menos un juego de baloncesto original y moderno. Creo que Sony (en concreto el mismo estudio que hizo NBA09: The Inside) debería retomar esta saga de baloncesto, porque creo que podrían ofrecer una experiencia más divertida que lo que ofrece 2K y así dejaríamos de depender del monopolio de 2K en los juegos de baloncesto.

NBA 09: the inside is a very Underrated NBA Game on the Playstation 3 because when i've heard about this game, In my opinion, The reason why i think this game was an Great Underrated NBA Game that was made by Sony. The reason why is because this game had The Life Story where you have 3 different stories on different created players. The Life Story was an amazing game mode Also, they have Player Progressive mode where you create 5 players to upgrade their Attributes by playing game modes so you can get Credits where you can buy your Items, Gear, and Upgrades for your characters. They even have minigames, They have an Franchise Mode which allows you an NBA team and control its player transactions and other things covered by a real General Manager. you have NBA Replay that allow you to real NBA game played in real life and Quick Play mode allow you to play NBA or D-League Teams in a normal match. NBA: 09 the inside is one of the best basketball games on the Playstation 3 and it's my favorite game on the Playstation 3.

I thought this was going to be kind of like the superstar moses in Maddden or the MLB the show game but it was far more boring and less interactive. Don't waste your time.

As its core, NBA 09: The Inside is a solid basketball game.

Such is the case with year's PS3 basketball combatants, with SCEA's version building on the personalization elements (putting yourself in the game), alongside accessible, easily-grasped controls. [Dec 2008, p.96]

While The Life remains an eminently pleasant diversion, it’s not enough to vault 09 past its rivals. It’s definitely worth a rental by PS3-owning basketball fans, but NBA 09 The Inside needs more time in training camp before it deserves a spot on the court with Live and 2K9.

It's a shame too because NBA 09: The Inside has a lot of good qualities. Simply, the bad ones outweigh them.

There are just too many problems with the basic game of basketball in NBA 09 to really recommend this above the other games out there.
