Sony’s recent basketball titles have been largely ignored by hoops fans, partially because of the consistent excellence of 2K’s games and the increasing quality of EA’s NBA Live series.  Sadly, it’s also partially because Sony’s games haven’t been very good.  This year’s offering for the PSP, NBA 10 The Inside, seems to recognize its on-court weakness, and supplements its inferior gameplay with a huge array of game modes and mini-games.  Believe it or not, for the most part, it works.
