In June 1992, Midway sent a work-in-progress demonstration to the NBA. It demonstrates the process of digitizing live action footage, as well as a preview of the game in an early state of development.

Notable differences include:

  • A non-functioning Turbo meter.
  • Incomplete far background.
  • A demonstration of a cut feature where the camera changes angles to face the hoop head-on. The graphics for the front-facing hoop can still be found in the final game.
