Will we still have to press start to load the menu?

Re: Will we still have to press start to load the menu?

Yea I laugh at Bronze but go back and read my post before. He makes sense. If I turn the game on I want to play. I don't NEED nor WANT to see a damn demo mode.

Bronze James is right. And it isn't about being LAZY for those that keep using the lazy card.

I actually want to know the answer to why start is there but the way he went about arguing with everyone about it was all wrong and to actually say that people who don't care too much accept mediocrity in their lives was ridiculous.

I just wanna know if he's going to change his name to Legold James.

I would easily say it gives the game to allow a "demo mode" similar to old school arcades.

Whether or not you feel it is still necessary in this day and age, every time I am in a store and the game is on display... it is on this demo mode. It's a very useful way to display and advertise your game if some retailer puts it in a kiosk for display.

I've seen demos that are just stuck at a team select screen and they don't grab my attention. The demo, on there other hand, does.

True indeed. There should be an easy compromise though right? Give us an option to disable the demo mode.

That's certainly one possibility... you'd have to set the game to load your settings first (which 2k7/8/9/X does) and then go straight to the team selection screen if the demo mode setting is turned off.

Similar to a switch in an arcade machine.

That's a great point. It also gives us the flexibility to use multiple game profiles(360). I know it's not common, but it'd be a hassle for me if everything loaded automatically and I had to back out of it, sign out, sign back in and then reload again to use a different profile.

I have to add...I still don't see a problem with the traditional press start screen.

I just wish there was a way the system could load your settings/rosters BEFORE the demo mode starts because I hate looking at DEMO Mode with default rosters

I don't either. Maybe you can chalk it up to being "old school."

So you want new rosters to load and then the game into demo mode?

I don't see the point... but I guess you have a method to the madness, eh?

Re: Will we still have to press start to load the menu?

I don't know man. I am on the fence with it.

Sometimes I am anti-LeBronze and I turn the game on WANTING to play but it just sits there for like 10 mins without me touching the controller so I end up on the phone or CPU watching the demo. So yea I wish they loaded rosters

Anything is better than their rosters

Why are you looking at the demo mode? lol EDIT: you just answered me


Going into the demo mode also prevents images from burning into HD tvs.

LOL at you mediocrity-homers acting as if it serves a useful purpose. Everybody turn to the cover of your Kobe Bryant fanboy calendars and notice this: It's the year 200-f@#$&ing8! You guys don't think technology exists yet that could automatically load the game menu and also run a demo if you don't press anything after X number of minutes? How come in the year 2008 it takes longer to fire up a video game than it did in 1988? That's not change Lebronze can believe in.

Thats messed up whoever gave my man Bronze a warning

Re: Will we still have to press start to load the menu?

Wow, I got called out by some guy named Dakkon. Don't get mad at him though, he's just doing his little part to make the world a better place. Without my distractions, you guys will be able to discuss headband colors and jersey piping like never before. Maybe I'll pop my head in next year to see how you guys are doing, but until then,

LEBRONZE OVER AND OUT.
