"This game still lacks create-a-player and "The Life" mode, and for a second straight year a "Dunk Contest" is not a part of the All-Star festivities. Where NBA 09: The Inside shines is in its library of mini-games, more than making up for the lackluster core gameplay. The new ticket-dispensing, mini-games give incentive to keep playing, and it's definitely time well wasted."

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.
