1. Neither one of those games has competition.
2. Both of those games have well established fan bases.

Live suffers from 3 main things: great competition, a lack of quality over the years, and a divided fan base. There are still some die hard Live fans but there is a large portionof basketball fans who don't trust the Live brand and need proof the game is worth a purchase.

Live 15 is a game that could use a demo to persuade people that this iteration of Live is worth a purchase. Besides hardcore Live fans I can't imagine many going out and buying the game without playing first, unless reviews absolutely praise the game.

Because not everyone wants to give EA $60 for a game they haven't played yet. IMO there hasn't been enough shown for this game that tells me it is worth the purchase. The track history of the game has resulted in a brand that can't be trusted. The fact that only a few trailers have been shown, no 5 on 5 gameplay has been shown (except leaked footage that was taken down) , and the demo is no guarantee makes me wonder if EA is lacking confidence in the game.

Not to nitpick, but it's actually next Thursday...5 days before release

My bad, can't wait to try it out. 2K15 is growing on me, still a bit VC heavy and I swear the player models don't look as good this year on X1.

Player models look on point in Live, post your impressions so we know what it's about.

Kinda mad I traded in my X1 for a PS4 now, wish I would've just kept it and got the PS4 too.

I know that there is a difference between playing and seeing. But honestly everyone who has PS4 or doesn't have an EA Access membership, will still have the ability to thoroughly overview the full game from those who do. So an early demo would be irrelevantly biased to what is about to be fully revealed 5 days before release!
