NBA Shootout 2001 returns to the PlayStation with a redesigned game engine, more than 400 motion-captured animations, and an enhanced TV-style presentation that features commentary by New Jersey Nets broadcaster Ian Eagle. All 29 NBA teams are included, along with NBA playbooks, NBA arenas, and the NBA All-Star Game, NBA playoffs, and NBA Finals. Touch Shooting and Advanced Dribbling Control allow for more precise gameplay. Players can create athletes, plays, and customize their dunking style. Up to eight players can get in on the action via the separately sold Multitap accessory.
