    Because there is a TON of great games that don't have demos, and if people claim they wont buy a game due to no demo, then they rob themselves of some sweet gaming bliss.

      I would not call it suckering people into purchasing a product. Demos usually only share a fraction of what's really in the game-Usually . Ok, ok, you can demo the new pitching, see the new animations. What about the new improvements to AI logic, franchise mode, implementation of the minor leagues, the cards all that stuff. Hard to determine all that in 3 innings of play off a demo. Based off videos, gameplay mechanics look very clean. Heck, and if we still feel ripped off after purchasing, bring her on back to the store with that nice little receipt of purchase.
      The ERA glitch you'd prolly be able to pick up on. The other two prolly not you're right. Still for me its not trying to get my hopes up when it comes to 2k sports games anymore because I'm almost always let down with the final product with NBA2k being the one constant exception.

        It doesn't matter. We were told a demo would be available weeks ago and it isn't.

          I think it comes down to just gaming in general now a days, not just sports. I lost confidence with alot of games that get released. Frame rates are major issues, and if a game is clean and runs great, it either lacks content, or is 2 hrs long. Sports games you really have to take with a grain of salt. They will never be 100% accurate. As long as devs do not plague the games with overlooked bugs and glitches. Which, unforutnatley was given to us with 2k6(Is there a way to make this game go away??). Have faith in the team that is basically rewritting the whole game, and has admitted to a faulty product in previous installments. Not may will do that. It will get there

            You know, guys, you don't HAVE to pick up the game on release day. You COULD wait until you play the demo enough to satisfy your opinion, or wait until some of the bigger sites post reviews. If you buy the game completely blind and you don't like it, you can't blame 2K...only yourself.

              Scott4171 reported in another thread that the Spiderwick Chronicles demo was taken off XBL. Hopefully, they're making room for 2k8.

                  Here's what came on PSN in Europe today:

                  Might that indicate nothing regarding 2K8 here in the US, or do they not get the demo regardless?

                      Europe always gets old stuff, they always seem to be behind or get different demos all together. I am hoping MLB2k8 demo is up today but you would think XBOX Live would of gotten it already if it were available at all.

                          I don't even have a PS3, and I hope they get it today, too. The more impressions, the better.
                          Of course, if Dawson gets hot, and
                          Sutcliffe comes through, and....
                          Pa, see what you did to me?

                                This is sad. 2k has really disappointed me with this. We still don't know if the demo is coming today. Goes to show how they run their business. From early feb to early march it looks like. This is how they plan to compete?
                                NBA2K is the standard of sports games period.
