No Demo For NBA 2K14

[TreyIM2]

Wow to all the overreaction up here but I can understand not being able to test drive this game for free especially with this being the last hurrah on cg and the ng version coming soon in Nov. with some ppl having to decide between the 2 versions. Yet I also understand the position 2K being in with a time crunch for both games being launched being released within a month anr half of each other. Tough for many but I have my preorder for Tues. and, quite honestly, not in a rush since I really didn't get in 2K13 the way I wanted and still have it. I may put that preorder money elsewhere and ride it out til ng.

Damn no demo, meh still gonna get the game day one, but still one has to wonder whats the real reason no demo

this is one of the worst lead ups to an nba 2k release i have ever experienced.

people saying we are spoiled for complaining about no demo are missing the point. the information has been sparse, the team has been split. we are being asked to pay full price for a game with marginal improvements. PR can talk all they want about balance. but when there are hardly any new features, and hardly any info....we NEED some way to judge whether this is worth a whole $60. (Hint: no demo...means even 2k dont think it is)

2k13 was so unbalanced that even the tiny bits of info and promise of 2k14 are appealing to me. but i cant justify letting what is essentially exploitation of die hard fans with this 2k14 version.

a wing and prayer is not enough for me to spend this amount of money. just not good enough. they should have budgeted this version with next gen on the horizon.

first year since to 2k8 i wont buying on release day.

If you're skeptical about a game and there's no demo, rent it, stop by a GameStop kiosk, a friends house, read impressions from OSers that tend to share your views, its not that serious. If its come down to the 11th hr and the demo still needs attention and they have another version about to release in less than two months. Why spend anytime screwing around with a demo for a game that will be on the shelves in DAYS...........

we talkin bout a Demo?....a demo?....not the game, a demo (in Allen Iverson voice)

They are essentially making two games this year. I'll give them a pass on this one. Doubt they had time to make a demo.

Then they eliminated the ability to block dunks. Gave us a high zig zag left then right euro 3 pointer high success rate. Took away interior defense. No one didn't even notice you couldn't change your sleeves color or your teams color jerseys in your my career. Allowed noobs to cheese their way with cash to compete online. Rosters were poorly updated. Trades were still ridiculous (2k13 era). CG gets fake wannabe crew. Wtf? All the way to 21 with 5v5? All your avgs. amount to single digits? No ref? Can foul when you want. Where's the hardwood, fans, jerseys with name and logos? That's not ****n crew. No dev detail on your mycareer...probably because it's copy and paste. Next Gen no crew. Possibly no mycareer either.....2k14 era. Everyone expect mediocrity with options on next gen and a decent vs one person online mode. EA will shut 2k down if their 5v5 mode is on point. They have sweat on players, accessories galore, better commentator, better crowd, and they even have a ****ing crew!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2k I've prepurchased the xbone full price for pick up and guess what. I've preordered live at gamestop the same damn day. Show me what you got!!!!

can you make your text bigger? i cant quite see it

I don't think people on here are mad. Game comes out in 1week. And we all know they are working on two games. But with all this talk about New controls and stuff a demo would have been sweet so we can have time for a learning curve BEFORE we buy the game. They already have my preordered money anyway.

Oh no you mean we wont get to play a 3 minute quarter on easy...lol just put out the next gen info already who cares about current gen my 360 is now a gta box next gen sports games is what im waiting on
