This year SCE Studios San Diego have altered the control settings by disabling the Sixaxis methodology in favour of the right analog stick. This means now if you wish to perform defensive moves such as "get high or get low" then you no longer need to tilt the controller in the motion desired. You can revert to the old control system however clearly the developers have adapted the default settings via user feedback. This also applies to the Showtime feature which provided boosts to your shooting and speed as well as the frequency of the rebound indicators. This is a rather unusual backtrack as the motion controls were much touted by the developers in the past."

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.
