Conflict

Due to contractual obligations from having their own video games, several players were not allowed to be featured in "NBA Jam T.E." Chief among those barred from appearing in the game were Michael Jordan ("Michael Jordan in Chaos in the Windy City"), Shaquille O'Neal ("Shaq Fu"), and Charles Barkley ("Barkley Shut Up and Jam!").

Due to controversy surrounding the violence in videogames debate in the early 1990s, the "Mortal Kombat" characters were eventually removed from the game by request of the NBA in later revisions of the arcade games.
