Bad exemple as both games are going downhill in term of quality.

Don't care if there's no demo because I'm buying regardless...but it would be nice to get my hands on (even an early build) to see the gameplay changes first hand.

At this point I'm just interested to see what changes to career and park they've made.

It's like not like you got a lot with the demo anyhow. It was one quarter without the ability to do a lot of things on an earlier build. In some cases (Go back to I believe either NBA 2K12 or 2K13) where IpodKingCarter said that the early build he played and the demo were pretty different from the game that was put out.

A 2K demo was never like other game demos, so I wouldn't have even based your opinion on one if it had come out> If you're on the fence about the game, then wait unless you raeally want the pre oder stuff. See the reaction and then decide if you want to jump in or not.

I wanted a demo strictly to see if the servers were gonna be trash (again) . 2K13 I believe gave us a demo that allowed you to play other randoms online. Im weary about this game strictly because 2K14 (PS4) was so unplayable online due to (input) lag.

Bingo.

Its amazing how people don't give them as much sh*t over this as they deserve. The servers have literally been awful for the past 7 years or so. And last year was downright unplayable.

2K15 no demo = that's okay; not needed
"Other" NBA game no demo = they must be hiding something; they're scared

Just saying.

I said it in another thread but I'll say it here also I think allot of devs are gonna slowly stop worth the demos. From what I've read and heard demos are somewhat a pain to make and it takes time away from tweaks and fixes they could be doing during development and an alpha or beta build glitch that probably wouldn't bee in the final version can turn ppl off and or become a thing on YouTube etc. Me personally even though I don't necessarily agree on price and or timed early access it seems like a smarter business move and I would def pay some money to play 2k early

Not releasing the demo shows the lack of confidence in the game. They want to maximize the amount of money made as much as possible. It is no difference than company that don't want to see the official reviews of their game (see Destiny lol) before the released date fearing that people that pre-ordered the games could cancel it after reading the reviews and as a result the company can lose huge amount of money. It's all marketing strategy. But you know what....it didn't matter...i'll buy the physical copy...and if i don't like it...i'll sell it. That's why i don't go digital with games like NBA2k because it ain't no GTA V or The Last Of Us where i can confidently go digital without a problem.
