The fact that you guys are clamoring for more only proves that 2k made the right decision in releasing a bare bones demo.

Eh, I think there's some issues with the gameplay (you can check on the page before to see), but I would think it's fixable with sliders (besides the hard foul one).

While you're partially right, I think more frustration comes in when you see other games give fuller demos. And people had the same complaints about the 2K11 demo. One of my complaints w/ the FIFA demo is that it's too short, so 2K is not alone in this area. People are going to always want more, to get a truer feel of the game. Hard to get that in short 4 min spurts TBH.

To me its like when I was a kid and my grandma used to cook in the kitchen for Thanksgiving and I'd beg her to give me some her homemade dressing. It was already done, on the stove, covered in foil, making the entire house smell AWESOME. When I asked her for some, she didn't give me a plate, she'd give me a spoon full and say:

"That's it. We are eating at 4 and not a moment sooner, Landy."

That spoonful is the 2k demo.

Don't worry kids, the entire Thanksgiving dinner will be ready on Oct. 4th. Have some patience, the anticipation always made Thanksgiving dinner that much better.

I'm a little surprised there's been no mention of the inclusion of "standing" alley-oops. Maybe it hasn't been tried yet since it never existed? Toss one to Chandler if he's wide open under or near the rim. Most times you'll get a nice standing dunk or layup.

Ifyour on this website you most likely have tried out the demoes of previous games. I dont even watch soccer but Ive played fifa's in the past and the demoes. Same with nhl. I just dont see where the level of dissapiontment is coming from.

I look at the 1.1 gb from the download and think to myself "If the retail version is six times better than this then i am satisfied". Thats how I look at all demoes. I may have lower standards or expectations than others but in my eyes I wont get dissapointed about a demo "not being complete enough".

Just my opinion though.

Whatever, you guys wouldn't be satisfied any other way. If it was 5 minutes, you'd ask for 10. If it was 4 teams you'd ask for 8. It won't ever be enough until the game is released.

Overall the demo is great the only thing i dont like is the rebounding. The rebounding still seems to be more about athletic abilities and not boxing out.

I also hope for gods sake that when you tip the ball up on a rebound they dont count as a rebound like they did in 2k11
