Re: MLB 2K13 Demo Not Releasing This Week
Alex Trebek: "Name something you don't have any interest in with regard to the video game world."
Me: "Xbox 360 Demos."
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).STEELERS INDIANS CELTICS

Do people realize that The Show didn't release a demo prior to the game hitting the shelves last year?
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.Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment

Re: MLB 2K13 Demo Not Releasing This Week
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).Comment

Re: MLB 2K13 Demo Not Releasing This Week
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 retailComment

Re: MLB 2K13 Demo Not Releasing This Week
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.Moderator

Re: MLB 2K13 Demo Not Releasing This Week
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…
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.Comment

Re: MLB 2K13 Demo Not Releasing This Week
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.Moderator

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.Last edited by Blzer; 03-02-2013, 11:11 PM.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment
