Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

As this is only posted in the "current gen" forum and not the "last gen" forum, can you confirm that there is no demo for either platform?

I hope 2K Games comes out with something similar to EA's Season Pass.

^Hell no.

No demo huh, that's weak man. But considering they really have no competition(for better or worse), they don't really have to release one.

Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

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

The evidence for that is dubious at best.

Anyway, the game's out 3 days late in Europe so unless I VPN it for PC or hope that it gets mailed to me early on PS4 a lot of people will play it before I do so it's not going to be a surprise.

I'd think most people on the fence are pondering whether it's worth buying for the additions they've made to game modes, not gameplay which will probably be mostly the same. Not expecting huge leaps, though I'd at least that online associations are better, automatic playcalling is fixed in MyCareer and that some of the VC/Online check things have been at least scaled back a little.

Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

Could have at least released a demo for PC so people could see how their system's deal with the new engine.

Madden didn't have a demo; but they did have EA Access! So you were still able to play the game as a demo, before launch! As for 2K; there is no excuse on why they could not put out a demo, as they had demo's for games at E3, Gamescon, and that Expo down in Mexico last week!

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

It's funny I remember the days when you didn't get demos. Now it's almost standard. Madden 15 did well without a demo and so will 2K15. This game is a mainstay now and people know what to expect.


My decision to buy or not will come down to the improvement or lack thereof to MyPlayer.

You know how long that will take since they wanna make a movie out of it now

I don't agree with the notion that not having a demo doesn't take away from potential customers. I think a good demo helps you more than a bad demo hurts you. We can all think of amazing demos like for Metal Gear Solid, Dead Rising, or heck even NBA 2K7. Now, I do think there are perhaps diminishing returns on demos for sports games as a console cycle continues, but early in a new cycle I think they're more important than not.

That being said, I do agree that avoiding a demo on a shortened cycle for these teams this year makes sense -- assuming that's the reasoning.

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

I dissagre in comp for the fps online shooter fan base bf3 was infinity better then bf2 same trend for bf4. having to compete with the huge fan base of cod was very good for bf. Now look at 2k with no comp. Last great 2k game was 2k12 argueably maybe 2k11. Also to be pointed out that was the last time they dropped a demo correct?

Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

I'm reconsidering not preordering tbh.

[WTF]

Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

Was truly hoping for a demo. Some of the things that bother me can only be felt. I guess best case scenario is wait for it used on Craigslist, or for some impressions from the guys that have the same issues that I have.

Worst part, is I had been told recently to wait for the demo, and judge for myself to see how much of the things were fixed, and how much remained.

You can rent it for like $2 a day from red box.

For what it's worth, I could. But I'd rather not spend anything. Unfortunately, even the closest Redbox to us is quite a drive. If a demo were available, I could check it out, either preorder or pick up day 1.

As it is, I'll wait it out. The San Antonio vs Heat footage showed some improvement, even though it's obviously on a easier difficulty. I'll wait to see some hands on footage.

Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

Seriously though...Can you imagine how buggy those 2K servers will be for the demo? Probably no worse than 2K14, now that I think about it. Anyway, there's no chance they're going to put out a demo knowing their history of tech problems. There's absolutely NOTHING to gain by letting us complain non-stop about recurring problems that have been baggage to the series for several years.
