NBA Live demo is going to come out. This show EA has balls unlike 2k which knew their game was going to get exposed if they showed a demo. Good job EA

That literally makes no sense. 2k showed 5 on 5 gameplay weeks in advance of release. 2k doesn't release demos because they have an established pedigree, not because they'd be "exposed". Exposed by what exactly? Every review has praised it's gameplay, while knocking its horrible servers. Live has shown no real gameplay footage, it's now a week past schedule release and 2 weeks before launch and we've seen nothing. I want Live to be good, quite frankly I'm tired ok 2k server issues and I know I can count on EA for having atleast reliable servers

Feed em I like to see em go pink at the end of the day. I'd rather have the true live fans here than the fake ones.

I actually appreciate the delay, because I was able to learn that the 2k15 im playing is a demo to which im glad I get a $40 credit towards live. I can't wait for freshness. Live 15 will be nice. Its good to see some excitement from impatient people. Live 15 people know what there doing. This whole article is prematurely made any ways. If it was 2 days left then I could understand the frustration. Welp back to offline 2k15.

I had no interest in NHL 15 at all...


Downloaded the demo purely as "it was there".


Played it non stop for a couple of days. Loved the physics and presentation.


Reviews came out and hammered the game...but I ignored them as I had enjoyed the demo so much.


Moral of the story = demos change people's minds / are the biggest factor in helping people switch to a new game they otherwise may not have even considered.

I doubt ill buy it anyways but there is zero chance. zero if I dont play it first. With that being said I did try the demo last year well for about 3 minutes and new I wasnt ever gonna like it. So I guess a demo can work both ways. it seems like if I knew my game was not very good I would not put out a demo and hope for the people who will just buy it. A demo seems pretty risky to me.
