      Never played one - they're not a true representation of the game. And let's be honest, though I love MLB 2K12 I have no reservations in saying it will be nothing more than updated rosters & colors (from everything I've read).

        And I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case this year too.

        I'll be the first to say that I think it's a mistake for 2K not to release a demo.
        At the same time, we've all read what a pain in the butt demo's are to produce and how they actually don't help sell games.
        In some instances, it's actually hurt.

        If 2K was rushed to build 2K13, I doubt they had the time and resources to generate a demo.
        And just imagine if that demo was stripped down like their NBA demo was.
        How many OS members here salivate with any chance to rip this series? If the demo didn't cure your dog's cancer, they'd be filing in here with pitchforks and torches.
        So maybe his is one instance where having no demo is beneficial. Only time will tell.
        When 2k starts making a baseball game as good as MLB the Show, then not putting a demo out is understandable.

            I think every game should have a demo. There are some games I only bought because of the demo - and games I never bothered to get because they didn't have demos. I don't care how great the reviews for Dishonored or Far Cry 3 were - never getting a chance to try them is going to make me really leering about forking over $60.

              I agree. I'd like a demo for every game.
              But I'll be honest, I've probably bought less games because of a demo.
              Believe it or not, I didn't like Batman or Dead Space demo's so I never purchased either game.
              But from recommendations by coworkers I eventually bought both and they're two of my favorite games of all time.

              With 2K, I think they should have released one, but I've read they take a lot of time and energy. And if they're done like the NBA demo, it's not worth it.
              NBA2K is one of the best games ever, but it's demo is extremely stripped down and doesn't do the final product justice.

                I feel like them not posting a demo is them allowing us as gamers to control the press. They haven't given us any reason to think this isn't just a title update.

                  I agree. There have been times that a demo discouraged me from a purchase. And I don't recall ever playing a demo that motivated me to buy a game.

                  I find demos for sports games especially limited. They are usually very stripped down. Often no commentary, or setting/slider adjustments. You are limited to a few teams & ball parks so you really can't see too many details. A demo gives a general feel for the game, but in my experience, that doesn't tell you much if you played the prior year's game (which most of us OS'ers have).

                    If you remember last year, there was no commentary and everyone bashed the lack of polish in the demo, then again, that's mainly what we got with retail

                      This...

                      I could care less about demos nowadays. If you have gamefly or any other means of game rentals then demos shouldn't matter.

                      Most demos come out after the release of games, sports games are the only ones people are upset about. When's the last COD, Halo, AC, etc... game to have a demo come out before the release. Maybe some of them do, but the majority don't.

                          Really? Are you on OS to correct grammar and spelling mistakes or are you going to give your opinion on the topic? You haven't posted in this forum or any other baseball forum so I'm assuming you're on here to do just that. I really didn't know I was being graded on a video game forum.

                          My apologies your excellence…

                            Sorry if I offended you. It's just annoying to see people make the same mistake time and time again.

                            And yes I do browse the baseball forum, even though I don't post in it often. On topic, seems like MLB 2K13 won't be that much different from 2K12 if at all.

                              No worries man. On forums and typing from my iphone, the last thing I'm worried about is grammar.

                              On topic... It does look like 12, but I'm a baseball fan and with the Astros in the correct league this year I'm sold. Don't have a ps3 so this is what it is. And as the saying goes... It is, what it is.

                                I did the funniest thing the other day in my math class. I asked one of my students how he felt he did on the quiz, and he said, "I did horrible." I then said, "No, you did horribly."

                                I thought about that one a few seconds later.



                                EDIT: Oh, I thought I was in the "mispronounced words" thread or whatever. Now I feel like I'm going off-topic.

                                Back on-topic... I'm glad I am able to assess the game this year outside of a lowly demo that doesn't allow any options changes or commentary. 2K only shoots themselves in the feet by releasing stripped demos like this. Time for them to consider changing that.
