Booo.

Ok, I'm not going to jump on the "these devs are lazy" train because I'm sure that isn't true. I have faith that the developers have been working their butts off and are good people. I have been an avid 2k basketball player for the last 5 (6?) years, and 2k did not earn my money this year. I won't be purchasing this on October 1st. I'll wait until it goes on sale in some used game bin or is available cheap on xbox live.

In my opinion last years game was only OK. We all know the list of cheeses that made the game mostly unbearable online, and the innovations to association and my career were only decent. Nothing ground breaking. This was the first year I didn't complete a season with my player. In NBA2k12 I completed 5 full seasons - one of which was 82 games with 12 min quarters (just to give a reference to how much I played the game). The introduction of VC and failure to address an obvious exploit made my career and myteam seem trivial. So to me, 2k can't just coast on last year.

The ONLY selling point for this game was "it feels so good" right LD? Except here's the thing... we can't feel it if there is no demo. And personally, I don't believe ANYTHING in the developer insight videos. For a laugh, go back and rewatch some of them from NBA2k12 - especially the video on defense. "This year I want to be the on ball defender." Ha... until you play the game and your online opponent just jumps side to side until they shoot a three with 80% success. Either that or turbo into the point for an UNBLOCKABLE dunk. If you don't give us a demo we can't see the improvements that you have made.

Again, I'm not going to blame the devs. I'm sure they work really hard. I just think developing current and next gen games concurrently is going to prove to have been a terrible business decision. LD2k, I'm sorry, but "there's this thing called next gen" (as he has used as an excuse in nearly all interviews) is not a valid excuse for poor marketing and not giving consumers (well at least me) what they want.

i agree and i believe working on two games is a poor excuse..last time i check fifa 14 and madden 14 have next gen games coming out as well and we got current gen demo for those games..i didn't see that company saying o we working hard on next gen has well so no demo for the current gen game lmao..really? stop it lol

Probably people who plan on buying current gen because they aren't jumping to next gen ASAP. If people don't care about current gen why are they in threads discussing the current gen demo?

[thedream2k13]

now that 2k has spoken, time to close this thread

Doesn't seem like a legit reason u can't put a demo out. I've seen a stripped dwn version of the game being played earlier in the summer I believe I dnt kno y they wud do this

[blues rocker]

no big deal. i'm still getting the game, and i'm committed to staying on current gen for at least a year, so next gen doesn't affect me.
