NBA 09: The Inside features the core gameplay modes like a new Franchise mode and Exhibition. In Franchise, you'll be trying to build the best team possible while managing all the different aspects of the franchise. It's great for when you really want to get involved with the game. But of course, as I mentioned above, the fun in a portable basketball game is the pick-up-and-play modes. That's where NBA 09: The Inside shines."

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.
