Sony's has had an extremely accessible approach to basketball over the past few years, especially in relation to the PSP. The portable gameplay from the San Diego studios has highlighted the halo mechanic that's a staple of the Sony's basketball franchise and paired it with a ton of amusing mini-games and secondary features. How has that changed in the upcoming version of NBA 09? IGN managed to get their hands on a preview build of the game to see what new mini-games await fans and newcomers as well as how the action on the court will play.

"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.
