B. Don't ever bother man. Other members and visitors know you're speaking what'sreal. I rosm around tthese forums and can vouch for everything you been saying.

A demo isn't going to change my mind. Just want to see 5v5 player movement.

If you bought Live 14 and were waiting on Elite 11 and Live 13, you have every reason to scrutinize every delay, misstep and attempt to shield the game. Fool me once shame on you.... you know the rest. With all due respect it would take a brand new team and approach for me to give them the benefit of the doubt at this point. But when you promise a demo and other things in an open letter and follow through on none of them, as well as delay a game, it's hard to ignore the recent history as well.

I know exactly where your coming from. I think you can criticize and be cautious of Live but you can't judge Live 15 itself that way because we haven't even given them a chance to follow through on what they've said.

The bolded part is my biggest issue. Why isn't Live being given a chance to release a demo? They did tweet out earlier today that we're getting a demo. I will rip EA/Live apart if they don't follow through on the promises they've made. But lets give them a chance to follow through on the things they've said before we criticize them.

I even said earlier, it's inexcusable for EA not to let us fans know that we won't get an early demo due to the Oct 28 delay. Reasons like that are why they haven't been relevant in a long time.

As far as recent history, Live has released a demo for Elite 11 and Live 14 so the past actually favors them when it comes to a demo but the past is the past. What they have or haven't done before should not determine what they do now (whether it's good or bad).

According to Live's twitter the game will be platinum by the end of this week so I guess they were planning to deliver a retail-build demo since its delay, trying to avoid any game-breaking bugs (ala Jesus Bynum) which could not convince people to get the game.

As for the live demo talk... I was looking forward to it... it honestly help me determine whether or not I bought the game, when I would buy it, or how much would I be willing to spend for it. I eventually bought the game simply for a change of pace (and the fact that I got it off ebay for like 10 bucks) keep in mind I am a sports gamer I dont care who makes a game just as long as it can hold my attention for a few mins of the day... but I do respect quality. The better the quality the quicker I will get it and the more that I am willing to spend. I dont get games just bc everyone loves it or hates it. Believe it or not I think that live 14 had some good qualities to it. Was it game of the year material HELL NO! but it had good qualities nonetheless. While I think that the 2k series has produced the better game overall still think that live had a couple of advantages alone the way. So long story short I am really hoping that they sneak the demo in sometime this week which I highly doubt.

I don't know what that means, is it that it's going gold plus the first-day patch?
