Platform: Sony PlayStation 2Amazon.com The ShootOut franchise makes the leap to the PlayStation2 with NBA ShootOut 2001. The venerable NBA simulator adds a cornucopia of technical advances to the game, such as greatly improved opponent artificial intelligence (AI) that is better able to manage passing, fouls, time-outs, and the clock, and a newly designed game engine that operates at 60 frames per second with state-of-the-art ball, rim, and collision physics. The game's TV-style presentation is supported by 22 different camera angles and play-by-play commentary from New Jersey Nets broadcaster Ian Eagle. Graphically, the game is reproduced with all 29 NBA teams, more than 1,000 motion-captured moves and 50 signature dunks of the game's stars, and player models that incorporate height, weight, body style, texture-mapped faces, head shapes, and skin tones into their composition. New control features for the series include advanced dribbling control, which gives players the freedom to dribble the ball between the legs, around the back, and crossing from one side to the other, and a touch shooting meter. The game also features extensive roster management tools, a create-a-player feature, team-specific playbooks, and animated referees calling fouls from the floor.
