Unless we suddenly get a crap ton of gameplay videos and dev diaries on the gameplay stuff for the die hard fan (like we did with NBA 2k11) in the next two weeks than I see another repeat of last year.

Why couldn't you wait till a few weeks after release? Hover these forums and see what people think, and when I say people I mean people that aren't trolling, but actually giving constructive feedback. But no demo pushed you over the edge? Ok. That makes a lot of sense.

Didn't you say yourself that you think most will buy it on launch? Are you disagreeing with me or agreeing with me?

All the feedback (mostly positive) was present last year on these forums. I didn't sign up last week, this cycle of hype happens every year and I'm now not going to get caught up in it.

There was no demo last year but all the promises of no sliding on defense by the CPU, better onball defense, better rebounding, better blocking, footplanting etc were assured to be in the game. What we got was a beta form of those gameplay features with delayed controls (next gen) on defense making picking up ballhandlers a nightmare, defensive rotations by the CPU were awful, offense players with certain sig skills being able to laugh at "rim protectors" as they easily score over them, etc

For people who aren't content with a high scoring, low defense basketball experience, 2k14 is a disappointment gameplay wise. No demo this year, along with the lack of insight into the core gameplay, and not things like 2kTV, mocapped cheerleaders and Shaq commentary, means I won't get to see if the core gameplay mechanics have been improved.....unless I buy the game and find out.

I'll pass on that

Exactly! ! If EA sports released a kick *** demo then 2k would've followed suit. Whatever.

I know exactly what you mean man so if it helps on release day I could give you honest feedback on it . I get frustrated with that too.

On another note never really thought about how it takes time away from the retail version to put a demo together.

Just assumed they had the game on a disk from an earlier stage of development and put it out there. If not getting a demo means they can put more time into the retail version till release time I can do without ever getting a demo personally. I could be in the minority there.

No I'm with you personally I don't need it if it makes better for the game
