No Demo For NBA 2K14

[Dr. Poe]

Getting next gen version. It's time to move on. Next gen better be a full game.

LOL! You think that version at Gamescon would fly going through MS and Sony for approval? Ignorant.

And also because some people do feel that next-gen needs to be their priority. But this thread, still has me in stitches! Please carry on. This is fun!

This is a weird thing to be snarky about.

Some of yall have super short memories. Not to be a fanboy, but the one game purchase I can count on every single year to be a quality game and to bring the realism, it's NBA 2K. AKA the demo is just icing. Could understand the frustration, but the overreaction ("omg worst game ever! even though I haven't even played it yet!") is menopausal. The gameplay could be the best thing you've ever experienced, better than floating on a magic rainbow, riding a unicorn, or humping Beyonce....and based on gameplay vids, it's pretty close to it. But gotta wait and see. IMO, the game has earned the benefit of the doubt so Ima give it to 'em.

Why not? When so many people with reasonable thoughts (not me - I stayed out of it) continue to try to warn others that a demo won't show up this year because of everything else on all of the developers' plate, yet they don't want to hear it - they shouldn't act like this is a surprise. Same goes for Live being on next-gen only: they don't have time for old and next gen. But I'm a jerk, so I get that. Sorry.

I don't know about you but I wanted the demo so I can get used to the new controls. I hate the fact that I have to RELEARN the controls AGAIN!

I'm surprised there's no demo...that said, I'm exicted what's around the corner. I want to see the NextGen "bread and butter!" Bring it....wow me! Inside of 2 monthes release...it's Go Time! (Insert Matrix Gif here) beyond my capabilities at moment.

Time To Go 2K! Are You Talking To Me?!? Bring It! Release the Kraken! Win One for the Gipper! There's No Crying In Baseball! Get off my plane! I'm Your Huckleberry. Make My Day! This Is Sparta! Wilson?!?
