Well, only if you purchased a membership for EA Access before it's released!

Ill definitely be trying this out via EA Access but I won't be buying it no matter how good the game is, not for $59.99. Not with NBA 2K15 and all the good games coming out this fall, no way I nor 99% of people are going to pay that much money for this game, the sales will be abysmal. If it's a good game Ill pay $29.99 for it at most.

Considering this is the Live series and it's sketchy history of cancelled titles, people should be happy that a demo and the game are actually coming out!

This right here makes 0 sense to me.

But hey, I must fall under the '1%' of people who are willing to pay full price for the game if it turns out to be really good.

Of course if the game turns out to be terrible I'll spend $0 on it and move on with my life.

People thinking a late demo will hurt sales are forgetting that releasing 3 weeks after 2K was FAR worse and will have a far greater impact!

People need to think a bit. Why was the game delayed in the first place? Because it wasn't ready (which scares me). So to release a demo ahead of time it would have been an early and crappy build. EA can't afford to screw up anymore. It's better to deliver a good product late than a buggy product early. Remember the Jesus Elite video that went viral?

Plus I agree with Nemesis. Early demos are for the hardcore and they don't even need the demo. EA is hoping to score more casual gamers I think a later demo won't hurt but a crappy demo would. On the flipside, if the game and demo are bad delaying them and/or hiding them may be strategic but also ensure the end of this franchise.

I guess this pretty much cancels my pre order, was hoping to get a test drive before launch... I'm sure the excuses will be plentiful, but this really does suck as a follow up from last years debacle... All good, guess I will wait for the demo.

Did EA officially say the demo would be coming earlier than usual? I remember one article saying they hinted at it, but nothing that really confirmed the suspicion.

The sales will be affected again this year, even with the other game's continuing server issues. Live has a bad rep and a tendency now for not showing their hand and waiting for the last minute. They have taken the same approach like last year's debacle, which will once again earn them poor sales for this title. The game sounds improved, but the community will show EA again that they will not support this game until EA decides to put confidence and quality transparency in this title.

I've been saying that . I read the fan sided article a few times I was skeptical.


At least a week from now EA access will have a demo. 5 days after that for ps4. Not long
