Shoot Out '98, which features all 29 NBA teams, more than 350 players
and an all-new NBA playbook, is now available exclusively for the

extensive moves and dunks, and exclusive features like Total Control
Dunking(TM) and Icon Cutting,(TM) make NBA Shoot Out '98 look and play
like no other basketball videogame on the market.
"With NBA Shoot Out '98, we're looking for the 'threepeat' as 'best
basketball game on PlayStation,'" said Peter Dille, senior director,
product marketing, Sony Computer Entertainment America. "Our
revolutionary Total Control Dunking(TM) and Icon Cutting(TM) will
continue to raise the bar and improve the way sports games are played.
In fact, our friends from the 'PlayStation Athletic Department' will
be showing off these new features and our improved graphical look to
an NBA All-Star in our newest TV ad."
Total Control Dunking allows a gamer to control individual player
dunks and offers a repertoire of more than 30 dunks to chose from.
Another unique feature in NBA Shoot Out '98 is Icon Cutting, which
allows gamers to pick any player to cut to the basket. With an all-new
TV style presentation and large player sizes, NBA Shoot Out '98 is
pure fun to play. No other PlayStation basketball videogame has 30
different dunks or NBA style moves like, no look, off-the-dribble and
around the back passes, or the inclusion of crossover and between the
leg dribbles.
During the development of NBA Shoot Out '98, different NBA star's
movements, such as the Pistons' Jerry Stackhouse, were
motion-captured to ensure the most realistic NBA player animations
would be used in the game.  In fact, all the NBA players in NBA Shoot
Out '98 are rated and designed to play to their actual ability,
bringing to gamers the realism of the NBA, PlayStation style. NBA
