Regardless of your enthusiasm for the sport, it's undeniable that Sony San Diego's first-party sports games on PS3 look incredible. MLB 08 The Show really took the series to the new generation and the upcoming NBA 09 The Inside looks to do the same. This time, The Inside goes beyond just standard ball games -- take a look at these new screenshots to see the other aspects of the game's most exciting mode, "The Life."

Is it just me or does that screen shot of Pau Gasol look like a bearded Meryl from MGS4?

LOL. Don't worry. I see it too.

Yeah I have no idea where they are getting this idea of "looking incredible." The Show looks spectacular. The Inside looks like a PS2 game in high resolution. Look at the lack of detail on the character models, especially Pau's hair. Even EA and 2K's basketball offerings look better than this heap. This might come from the same studio as The Show, but certainly not the same graphics team.

i dunno, check with your local retailer's website and see if they have the game available, if they dont, why not import it? usa and uk language is almost the same.

It's highly unlikely that there would be discrepencies in the English used in NTSC/PAL games. Any American made games will probably come out in the UK (And Canada/Australia) with the American spelling. I shall resist ranting about US governmental choices to change their versions of the dictionary. (Bah humbug @ posting with a PS3 controller)

I loved NBA 08 (1080p/60fps!!!!), I just hope this one supports 7 players offline like the 2K series does.

This game looks incredibly wack.

Features like "The Life" are sooo 2005. Save that kind of stuff for NBA Street and incorporate real features that really matter. While you're at it, step up the graphics. 2009 is right around the corner. Developers can't use the excuse that they're still trying to figure out the next-gen hardware anymore.

Maybe then, just maybe, I will consider buying Sony's NBA franchise.

Pau Gasol @ Aug 17th 2008 10:00AM

Pau here, my hair dont look fake what you talkin bout willis? I just hope they change the shot meter, thats sucks nuts. Anybody watching the olympics, all the talk about my teamate kobe being the best player yet lebron is doing 10x more on the court. Man, wish he was on my team we would have definitely won against the celts. Even dwayne wade looks 10x better than kobe in the olympics. Oh well guess i have to play with him and loose every year.
