No Demo For NBA 2K14

[BobbyColtrane]

Buying it Day One regardless. If nothing else as a thank you to 2K for bringing it this gen and making a bunch of fantastic basketball games.

But I'm going to be playing it like a maniac lol.

Can't fault them since NG 2K14 is the new direction of the company while CG 2K14 is merely a placeholder for those who either haven't gotten a NG system yet or want to play 2K before their NG system arrives. But make no mistake, it's a placeholder. But I'll say this - they've put themselves in a difficult position. Due to the consumer knowing CG 2K14 is a rebranded 2K13, the expectations for NG 2K14 are rightfully through the roof. If they fail to deliver on those lofty expectations, they run the risk of losing a lot of faithful customers. Those expecting a demo should have seen this coming - demos are done by companies who believe their game is truly an improvement and something to be seen/tested. It's done by companies who are proud of their product and want the consumer to see for themselves. Their PR team can spin it any way they want (and some will buy the drivel) but make no mistake, they don't want people to "test" 2K14 out on CG.

Yo do know that they will sell like 3x times more games in cg than next gen right? I laugh at people thinking the ng version is going to be revolutionary and the savior of basketball games. It'll probably be a stripped down version of the game with better graphics and thats all, same gameplay , same animations, same exploits. Just exactly how 2K6 was when it was released for the ps2 and ps3

What I heared out is, that they want to talk about the pc-version later.

I specifically asked in Vegas if NG was a stripped down version, a port, etc... and was told that it was not a stripped down version, was not a port and was a full fledged game.

Remember that 2K has to deal w/ competition on NG, so if they shoot a blank, it will hurt them in the long run, especially since EA has only had to work on NG.

They obviusly goig to tell you that. Lets wait and see, Ill be getting both versions but it looks to me like people has ridiculously high expectations for the next gen version, and then the disappointing comes...

I think you are underestimating next gen. Of course they will share some common things like "some" motion capture and some of the same game modes, similar control setup. There is no reason to devote two separate teams for current gen and next gen if we are just getting a port with pretty graphics. This is the game that will set their foundation for the next 7-8 years.

Thats another point that no one is talking about (the team being split between cg and ng) , they have less people/resources than what they will normally have so who knows if the gameplay is even going to be worse than current gen? I'm just saying people is expecting too much for the 1st nba 2k release in next gen when they have seen literally nothing yet. I like to think about all the possibilities.
