Once again, 8 second violation is ignored this year

[Rule of Two]

Re: Once again, 8 second violation is ignored this year

Ignored or dysfunctional, by and large the same thing though.



Disclaimers aside, we all know the game isn't going to be drastically different than the demo. That being said, if a minor mistake in the 8-second rule is the biggest issue with the game, I'm going to be very happy.

Well considering the demo is set at Default or Casual mode and at an easy difficulty level that alone with change up the gameplay quite a bit. Not to mention you can't call plays, make subs, and a whole host of other things. There's a lot that this demo leaves out and I'm sure there are gameplay issues in this demo that won't be seen in the final product. You have to realize we don't know how long ago they took this chunk out of their game to start getting ready for the demo process. It has to go through MS and Sony and some quality control checks before they're uploaded onto the PSN Store and MS Marketplace.

Those issues have no relation to a misinterpretation of NBA rules.

Most demos have some sort of disclaimer letting you know this may not represent the final product. The reason they release demos is to A) Advertise their product B) So many people expect demos nowadays most devs will do them if their game allows it C) People like to get a general feeling of how a game is going to be

Would you rather there be no demos at all?

Don't really care personnally. I have played it 5 times and I was done and I didn't even enjoy it. I prefer gameplay videos than a 4 minutes broadcast cam demo where you can't even call for a pick. But it's just me, I know a lot of people loved the demo.

Plus 2K is freerolling on it.

Issues = Its just a demo.
Improvements = Wow it's awesome.

I didnt expect much from the demo anyway. I know i enjoyed NBA 2K11 demo more than this one, I've no explanation for it.

All I want to do is get the game and go to practice. Have vodka and play with my friend all night.
