NBA 09: The Inside Demo Available

The demo for NBA 09: The Inside is now available on PSN. It has four quarters but each is only one minute long (ugh) with the Celtics vs Lakers on veteran difficulty. An interesting aspect of the demo is you can go through create-a-player (some of which is locked however) and then place him on one of the teams to play with. Keep in mind the player will be practically useless though due to low ratings until leveling him up. Apparently I missed the way to try out The Life mode, which is what really differentiates this game from the other two NBA titles. I’ll have a look at that side of the demo tomorrow.

So far from playing through it’s a little better than I had expected. Some things about it feel pretty good about it but at the same time I’ve come across a few odd things also. I’ll save further thoughts for a write-up down the road. But with the story mode I’m starting to think this is a game that may be worth giving a shot.

Continue on to view a video of the demo and leave any thoughts in the comments.

    whats baffling is that as lame as nba 09 is they are still leaps and bounds ahead of nba live with their net animations and the way the ball goes through the rim as well as player models, the player models in live are way to skinny and anorexic looking. however the commentary in live shitts on 2k and 09, its like night and day..If both games could combine they could at least try and give the nba 2k series a run for their money.

    Agreed..Except 2K’s commentary isn’t as bad as people make it seem. Clark Kellogg is mad lame though. I would rather play NBA 09 over Live 09. NBA 09 seems more fluid than Live.

    Ok??? I was playing 2k when I was 12 I guess I didnt see the age limit lol , i been playing 2k since forever but I not stupid enough to act like live isnt good this year, i really like the playcalling and dribbling then 2k8, Nba live 09 might not be better then 2k9 but its better then what these 2k 4 life people will tell you , I’m still getting both games and sorry but NBA 09 is garbage.

    The only one desperate for attention is you. That’s why you have to stand out by writing like a ghetto boy, actually thinking you’re cool, what a joke.

    You make a post on this site, obviously to be read, and yet you make it tough as hell to understand. What is your point then. It certainly isnt communication and it certainly isnt style, unless your style is ghetto retard.

    And yes accountability is a good thing in society. It helps those who dont get it with their ridiculous behavior, get a clue, so they can make positive adjustments and better themselves.

    Unless sounding like a ghetto wannabee is what you aspire too.

    Wake up people.

    Am I the only one that things despite the graphics being poor, with some tweaking in the gameplay and being able to play better D, this could be a pretty decent game. I love the shot system. This game went from being off my radar to anticipating seeing the review of the game. This and 2k. I also think NCAA basketball might just be the best hoops game this year. Any thoughts Pasta?
