NBA ShootOut


NBA ShootOut is a series of basketball video games based on the NBA and released for the PlayStation and PlayStation 2. The first two entries, released in 1996 and 1997, were developed by Sony Computer Entertainment's British in-house development team. Later entries were developed by 989 Sports, including NBA ShootOut 2000, the only game in the series to be released for Microsoft Windows.
In the games, players can choose an existing NBA franchise and play exhibition or regular season games, as well as create their own players to include in regular season team rosters. Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal and Michael Jordan were represented in the game with other names.
NBA ShootOut 99 for the PlayStation was cancelled by 989 Sports due to lack of quality.
