It's in their best interests to do so.

This way, they don't disappoint anyone.

Plus, giving a proper demo, we can all try it ourselves is the best marketing a gamer can get.

I still don't understand how all you 2K fanboys think paying out Live is helping? You should be wanting Live to do well so it pushes 2K to do more than just release a roster update each year.

Just don't understand why anyone would buy this game. Maybe if someone HAS to have a basketball game and hold a vendetta against 2K sports or something? Not only inferior graphics and gameplay, but EA has more or less admitted that this is a test run to try and lay a foundation for future iterations. Why anyone would pay $60 for that is beyond me. But to each their own.

So you don't know....cool.

I'll definitely check out the demo. Every game has exploits, especially EA sports games...if you think for some reason Live 14 will be different then you will be disappointed.

Well it's #65 on the best sellers list for a reason...

I also said sales for this game will be bad, which looks like it will be true when looking at projections. They have to prove something. They are already playing catch up so my statement about them continuing to play catch up is also accurate based on recent history. So next time you single out my comment, make sure what you're saying about it is true.

I was generalizing. But most people called past Live games crap without even playing them. They do it all over this board. Live 10 is still one of the best bball games I ever played. People have this image of horrible and maybe Elite embedded into their brains when it comes to EA. Yet people forget how good their other sports games historically have been. 2k has one good sports game. EA does soccer, golf, NHL, and used to have a great baseball game too.

Still talking 2K huh? Pretty awesome how you give EA credit for historically good sports games but then say that 2K has one good sports game. I seem to remember 2K having a really good NHL game at one point. A really good college basketball game as well. Oh and a really really really good football game. Yet people come in here tossing around "2K fanboy" with no problem at people bringing up legit concerns with this franchise.

It's not about being a fanboy (2k or Live) and as a consumer its disappointing to not be hyped for a game release, and when the game flops due to low sales will you still be calling it "in their best interests to do so"? Calling me out as a fanboy of 2K, maybe it is in your best interests to get with the program and play the best game available
