Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

I don't care about a demo, but what I need to hear is if the servers will be improved for online play...

Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

Not an issue for me as I only play demos once maybe twice anyway. Already know I'm getting the game so no problem

Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

You see, if you're gonna do the mystery box marketing in regards to gameplay, and at the same time not give a demo, I'm just going to avoid preordering. I'd probably wait until it was much cheaper before making a purchase.

I know not a lot of people are going to be doing that method, but that's where I'm at now personally.

Nah. I dont think you know "a lot" of people doing that. I'm not preordering either but that doesnt really hurt 2k's sales. Shoot, once you start seeing streams/videos/impressions of the game, you will buy the game at retail price if you like what you see.

Well in hind site the last time there was no demo i was pretty dissapointed with the game 2k released 14' next gen.Maybe some cause for concern that the game were all buying anyway may not be as good as we hoped. Please step up ea or some third party. Competetion is good for gamers. Example COD BF franchises.

Example COD BF franchises.

Bad exemple as both games are going downhill in term of quality.

Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

Don't care if there's no demo because I'm buying regardless...but it would be nice to get my hands on (even an early build) to see the gameplay changes first hand.

At this point I'm just interested to see what changes to career and park they've made.

Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

It's like not like you got a lot with the demo anyhow. It was one quarter without the ability to do a lot of things on an earlier build. In some cases (Go back to I believe either NBA 2K12 or 2K13) where IpodKingCarter said that the early build he played and the demo were pretty different from the game that was put out.

A 2K demo was never like other game demos, so I wouldn't have even based your opinion on one if it had come out> If you're on the fence about the game, then wait unless you raeally want the pre oder stuff. See the reaction and then decide if you want to jump in or not.

Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

I wanted a demo strictly to see if the servers were gonna be trash (again) . 2K13 I believe gave us a demo that allowed you to play other randoms online. Im weary about this game strictly because 2K14 (PS4) was so unplayable online due to (input) lag.

Bingo.

Its amazing how people don't give them as much sh*t over this as they deserve. The servers have literally been awful for the past 7 years or so. And last year was downright unplayable.

Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

2K15 no demo = that's okay; not needed
"Other" NBA game no demo = they must be hiding something; they're scared

Just saying.

[wallofhate]

I said it in another thread but I'll say it here also I think allot of devs are gonna slowly stop worth the demos. From what I've read and heard demos are somewhat a pain to make and it takes time away from tweaks and fixes they could be doing during development and an alpha or beta build glitch that probably wouldn't bee in the final version can turn ppl off and or become a thing on YouTube etc. Me personally even though I don't necessarily agree on price and or timed early access it seems like a smarter business move and I would def pay some money to play 2k early

Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo This Week, Might Not See One

Not releasing the demo shows the lack of confidence in the game. They want to maximize the amount of money made as much as possible. It is no difference than company that don't want to see the official reviews of their game (see Destiny lol) before the released date fearing that people that pre-ordered the games could cancel it after reading the reviews and as a result the company can lose huge amount of money. It's all marketing strategy. But you know what....it didn't matter...i'll buy the physical copy...and if i don't like it...i'll sell it. That's why i don't go digital with games like NBA2k because it ain't no GTA V or The Last Of Us where i can confidently go digital without a problem.

Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

Most companies know demo hurts sales . this isn't the case for 2k

It's true that 2k will sell whether there is demo or not. You know why?? It's because it's the only freaking basketball game out there lol. There is no other game to buy if you want to play basketball (assuming Live never exist lol). It isn't like there are 10 different companies out there making basketball games. Also it sells because it was the next gen debut last year...so people forgive the gameplay (which is glitch y as hell) in favor of the graphics. NBA2k15 (from the look of it) should have been what NBA2k14 should be. NBA2k14 was a rush product.

I didn't see the "No..." in the beginning at first. Heh. Was about to be totally and pleasantly surprised.

That's because in all honesty "they" suck. It's all about credibility.
