No Demo For NBA 2K14

[bumpyface]

I think I'ma pass. Better yet, I'll have it come through gamefly. 1 word, arrogant.

No demo is no big deal either way. They don't do anything to me

You should have hyped 2K14 for the next gen already, so people would get a xbox one/ps4 simply because of 2K14.

The fact is that current gen is going to sell WAY more than next gen simply because current consoles are in more homes. Thats why they are releasing a current gen version and hyping it up too. They would be loosing money if they didnt release a current gen version. If anything or would have made more economical sense to put more effort in the current gen version and not release a next gen version til next year but it sounds like these guys are excited about next gen.

Why are we letting 2k get away with current gen version. They are still selling this at full retail price when it releases.


It wouldnt surprise me if this game was done in January.

Next gen is no excuse. Current gen is the new psp version lol. Just roster updates fron here on out.(JK)

Wow to our community.

I don't buy that "Developers are making two unique games that harness the technology of current and next gen”… If they had a demo in the Gamescon and in Pax and/or other events, they could have used it to content the fan base even though it was not the last build…

TBH I think nowadays a demo won’t increase much your sales but it is something that companies like VC should do in deference to their loyal fan base, they definitely didn’t have that detail this year and that’s not good news...

Cheers! ;-)

I don't understand why this is such a big deal. Everyone before GTA V was release for weeks on weeks was talking about how current gen for upcoming pre-order games were on the decline and that sales for games weren't that good. Everyone was saying that people are waiting for the new systems to come out to get games. Then GTA comes out and it shatters it and everyone is saying now that current gen isn't dead.

Now we get people getting upset over a demo not being release. I would understand if it was Live, 989 Sports, or another new basketball game coming onto the market, but its not. Everyone has seen the video's and while most of us haven't played it yet it doesn't look like earth shattering difference. Plus they been making the game for over a decade. There are subtle differences. Honestly if there was no next gen coming out a month and a half later most people would think this was a great upgrade (defense block shots, my crew back, subtle tweaks to modes).

As of next gen a demo would be cool, but isn't the game suppose to come out at launch (not exactly sure). That's like people saying OMG I can't believe EA isn't giving a Battlefield 4 demo out for next gen, or for other games that are coming out around launch. And as most people say the demo is mostly an early build anyways so it's not the best guideline to go on to "I am going to buy this now." or "Nope I am going to spend it somewhere else." I doubt people are sitting there going "hmm most next gens are having demo's for day one releases for the next gen systems. I better just get the game on current gen since I know what exactly is given."

I wonder how many of these people on here complaining about the demo are still scorned by the Madden game that was the released for launch on the 360/ps3?

Also I am a patient person so I can wait that two months to get the game on next gen and not current gen. So no lost over any of the current games that are coming out now until the release date for the next gen systems.

Yeah, I think you are exactly right.

If you have a current gen console you're set get it on PS3/360 and have a blast, you just got the best 2K game ever made. Don't even bother with next gen, plus you're playing in a Las Vegas mega pool of players.

Next Gen though looks to be incomplete, no my team, and no crew mode, coupled with new tech for the XB1 & PS4 and too little time to know how to use the tech properly. This coupled with NBA Live attempting to swing for the fences, I'm really excited to see what they offer, cuz I sold my PS3 and already paid for my PS4, and since Live was only made for next gen, it should be a solid offering I hope.
