I would have wanted a demo but 2K's demos have been pretty bare bones for years now. I think people on the fence should just wait it out. So many streams will be available that you can make your informed decision by then.

The gameplay improvements IMO would not have been showcased in a demo with no plays and no control over settings, difficulty etc. exactly how 2K's demos have been for years now.

They really should have a gameplay live stream with the developers showing the improvements and letting Ronnie or LD2K MC similar to what Madden did.

Let Czar talk offensive AI, Beluba talking controls improvements, OG team specific settings, rotations. The gameplay team should talk gameplay. After that they can have a light hearted game between LD2K and Ronnie. Highlight the improvements made.

I come here see if there's anything new that can impact my decision and I express how and why I feel a particular way.

I don't think looking at the forum is too much stress, its actually relaxing. Sorry you misunderstood me there. My point is this, if you have all of the concerns about 2K, just don't buy it. Later on when you see gameplay and come back for impressions you can make a purchase. Or borrow it from a friend. I don't know, maybe I'm too mellow and see life a little easier than some of the things I read.

Good points on both sides. If your skeptical try before you buy via a trial, gamefly, gamestop or bestbuy kiosk, friends house. LOL whatever. But I would find it hard to believe that there isn't at least one person on OS who has the same issues you do with the game who can't give you quality feedback or make a video for you or a stream on the week of the game release to get you the information you may need.

From my experience day 1 patches are usually to fix bugs that were not ironed out before the game had to be sent to the presses.

Content related patches usually come later after release. It may seem like I'm implying the game will suck or something, or that $69.99 (in Canada all next gen games are that price) is too much for me, but its more saving myself from the frustration of having to deal with some of the issues in the game I personally thought ruined the experience in 2k14.

2k14 wasn't horrible but I want to see for myself that the things I had issue with were improved enough that I can go back to enjoying the series. It doesn't really bother me waiting till next year but for some reason some people get really defensive if you don't have an overwhelmingly positive response to any and all 2k news

I'll just close my contribution to the thread by simply stating this:

1. I would WANT there to be a demo. But I'm fine if there isn't. It's not a big deal. People hate the stripped down demos anyway.

2. It cost the company time AND money to make a demo. That hurts the END product, so I'm cool with there being no demo in this shortened dev cycle.

3. Demos are going the way of the DoDo bird with the new "trials". If you are on the fence, you can EASILY try a trial or a friend's copy. Seriously, you're not convinced enough to buy the game on Day 1 anyway. So, the lack of a demo should really make no difference to you.

That's because you live in Brooklyn, where most of these normal rules don't apply.

Ok, well used to!
