No Demo For NBA 2K14

[xKrNMBoYx]

WTF. I know 2K14 will be great for the Next-Gen, but I need a demo to compare Live 14 and 2K14. There's no way I'm buying both games to try them out, nor do I wan't to pay to rent a game just for testing purposes. Hopefully this announcement is just about Current-Gen games.

I wonder how demos will work with the Next-Gen consoles. Most games will release when the consoles are released. So will there be demos ready to download by then?

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.

You my friend shouldnt be allowed to speak. You are passing your opinion off as if its a fact. 2K has spent just as much time on this years game as last years game. There isnt a demo because NG is a whole new monster and there isnt time.

If you think 2K isnt proud of every basketball title they put out then either NBA2K14 will be the first Basketball game you would have played or you are just trolling.

No kidding! People think "Oh 2K is doing a game for both Gens? That MUST mean that current gen is 2K13.5."

2K14 is going to have the best gameplay to date. Yea the game modes havent changed much but who cares. If the gameplay is awesome then I dont mind playing MyCareer or Association with minimal changes.

This thread is epic. The claims of treachery, the conspiracy theories, etc. Just awesome.

But yeah, it sucks that there is no demo. Granted, I haven't even been following that closely and didn't realize that the game was coming out next week.

On a sidenote to those who are super ultra hyped for a next gen version: temper your expectations. Its the first release on a brand new engine (or atleast, a modified version of the current one) and it will have plenty of hiccups that will probably need another year to be ironed out. But damn, does it looks sexy. I think I'll be waiting till next year when they've had more time with it.

I find it funny that people expects next gen to fix every Nba 2K's issue when I actually think it might very well be the other way around.

When the PS4 outsells the XboxOne 4-1, online competition on the X1 will be minimal as well as updates may lag behind severely, much like the current gen 360 vs the PS3, in which the latter always received later updates or late dlc on most games due to the install base being lower. The Ps3 may have caught up now but I can say that there was a clear advantage on the 360 for quite some years.
