NBA 09: The Inside

About

NBA 09: The Inside lets you build a custom basketball star and live out their rise through arcade-style story mode. Guide your player through interactions with teammates and coaches while balancing teamwork or selfish play to shape your reputation and fanbase. The game mixes Franchise mode with updated rosters and a physics engine that sharpens animation and collision. Split-screen and online exhibition games add multiplayer options across PlayStation 3, 2, and Portable. The standout is the NBA Replay feature which lets you download and relive 07/08 highlights plus 08/09 season moments weekly. Upload your character builds to leaderboards or challenge others online. Commentary from Kevin Calabro and Kenny Smith adds polish. Released in October 2008 it offers 120 user-generated stories in its Team Progression system. The PSP port brings portable pick-up games but the PS3 version sees the most active online play.
