I just picked up NBA 09: The Inside from Game Stop for $4.99 (pre-owned). I found it much more fun than NBA 2K12. It is obviously less realistic by a long shot but I love how you play the game.
Cons:
* Unrealistic Animations - guys like Perkins, etc can windmill in NBA 09: The Inside (probably has to do with dunk rating)
* Can't edit anything?? (In 2K you can edit players gear such as Headband, Shoes, Sleeves, Calf Sleeves, Socks, Contracts, etc. Most importantly you can edit attributes;certain guys like Lamar Odom, Kobe Bryant, Paul Pierce, etc have significantly outdated gear.
* Players are too light (K.G. seems like only player with correct skin color, guys like Rip Hamilton, Jason Terry, etc have a light brown (hispanic) color when in real life that isn't how they look.
* The courts are a little to shiny.
* Everyone has same free throw shooting style
* No create a player or team section
* If guys get HOT they can swish 3s from half court
* Have unlimited free agents
PROS:
* I love NBA: The Life mode
* It has a lot of re-play value
* Game of Week is awesome it is just like EA's Madden Moments
* It is really fun to play!
My suggestion to Sony.
Make it exactly like MLB The Show except for basketball. Make it have the same features such as attribute, accessory, shoe, etc. Add a create a player mode and you guys already have a Road to The Show type game mode with The Life. I heard you guys were re-booting the entire game but you guystopped? Why? I loved NBA 08 and 09. If you guys don't want to waste time, please make a $19.99 - $39.99 PlayStation Network downloadable game. It will easily beat out NBA Jam and other sucky downloadble games.
