  1. There are just too many problems with the basic game of basketball in NBA 09 to really recommend this above the other games out there.

The reason why is because this game had The Life Story where you have 3 different stories on different created players. The Life Story was an amazing game mode Also, they have Player Progressive mode where you create 5 players to upgrade their Attributes by playing game modes so you can get Credits where you can buy your Items, Gear, and Upgrades for your characters. They even have minigames, They have an Franchise Mode which allows you an NBA team and control its player transactions and other things covered by a real General Manager. you have NBA Replay that allow you to real NBA game played in real life and Quick Play mode allow you to play NBA or D-League Teams in a normal match. NBA: 09 the inside is one of the best basketball games on the Playstation 3 and it's my favorite game on the Playstation 3. Full Review »
