Better late than never, I guess. I would've liked to have seen the demo arrive this week to give us 2 weeks of time with it before release, but I suppose 7 days should be more than enough time to decide if I'm getting 2K12 or not.
a demo is nice, but they usually scale it back so much (no commentary) that it isn't a true sample of the final product imo. Looking forward to play it but I don't think it will convince me either way.
I'll definitely be playing it, but same problem as dodgerblue mentioned...

2K's bread and butter of their games actually comes from almost everything that's not in their demos, which is unfortunate. I wish they'd learn one of these days.
On the other hand, it would be nice to see if they finally got the PS3 version looking very close to the 360 version, like NBA 2K12.
I was disappointed about that last year too, but if you can get hold of the demo, just multiply graphics quality by 10 and you'll have an idea of what PC will be like.
As far as commentary being absent, that's not a problem because we already know they do that part of the game perfectly. It will be even greater this year with the 80 new hours.
I am glad the demo drops next week. And also spending time reading about the new features but nothing about the franchise mode improvements. I like last years game but the franchise mode was kind of unplayable with the bugs. So although the demo will get me familar with the gameplay. And I intend to buy this game along with Mass Effect 3 on March 6. But I will hold off opening the game till I see at least 3 days worth of feedback from users.
Monday and Tuesday will be big days for this game. The Dev Diary and gameplay video on Monday will go a long way for potential demo players and buyers alike.
So where's this Dev Diary with game play footage?? Its a little ridiculous the amount of publicity this game hasn't gotten given it could be the last year they even make a game, I would have thought the Video would have dropped damn near 12:01am for people to see and watch.

Alternatively it could drop at 23.59....still the same day after all
I have a love/hate relationship with demos. On the one hand it's great to get and experience the game and to test it out. On the other hand it is a demo and generally an older build so the gameplay/graphics may be off or look dated. Thus people tend to get a bad first impression.
