What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"NBA Shootout 2001 is a solid, if unspectacular basketball offering. ...Still, if given a choice Id lean more to NBA Live 2001, which for the moment, at least, retains its title as the number 1 basketball title to buy."
"989 should just stop with these crummy sports games already. They can't currently compete with the folks at Visual Concepts and EA Sports. If this is next-gen basketball, then I'll stick with the good old days."
"The game succeeds in generating some excitement (especially in multi-player mode) and executes well on most levels... if given a choice Id lean more to NBA Live 2001..."
"Like a basketball half inflated, Shootout 2001 looks right, but it just doesn't have much bounce."
"It's disappointing to see 989 pushing ShootOut 2001 out the door in its half-baked state. The potential to compete with EA's excellent Live series is certainly there, but it seems like modes and gameplay options are being cut for the sake of getting the game to market."
