"It's not fair," NBA 09 The Inside whines. "I have a deep franchise mode too! And I can download situations from actual NBA games to be recreated virtually. And I have lots of mini-games and a compelling story-based one-player progression mode!" Well, guess what, Ginger? So does everyone else, and they do it better. "
