    But yeah, it sucks that there is no demo. Granted, I haven't even been following that closely and didn't realize that the game was coming out next week.

    On a sidenote to those who are super ultra hyped for a next gen version: temper your expectations. Its the first release on a brand new engine (or atleast, a modified version of the current one) and it will have plenty of hiccups that will probably need another year to be ironed out. But damn, does it looks sexy. I think I'll be waiting till next year when they've had more time with it.
    I find it funny that people expects next gen to fix every Nba 2K's issue when I actually think it might very well be the other way around.

      2K14 is going to have the best gameplay to date. Yea the game modes havent changed much but who cares. If the gameplay is awesome then I dont mind playing MyCareer or Association with minimal changes.
      Ah many people care......maybe you should speak for yourself mate.

        When the PS4 outsells the XboxOne 4-1, online competition on the X1 will be minimal as well as updates may lag behind severely, much like the current gen 360 vs the PS3, in which the latter always received later updates or late dlc on most games due to the install base being lower. The Ps3 may have caught up now but I can say that there was a clear advantage on the 360 for quite some years.

              due to the 100 dollar price difference, more adults will be on XB1 compared to the kids that just go along with whats more popular aka PS4 and cheaper

                Well, its just the usual hype. They never learn the lessons of the past and then they set themselves up for disappointment. If the game is super awesome and redefines basketball videogames as we know it then I'll be singing its praises, but the reality is that that's highly improbable given the dynamics of creating a brand new sports game. All that added power does not instantly equate to advanced AI routines never seen before. It takes time and I'm not sure if 1 year is enough. I know they already can use existing libraries from the past generations as a starting base, but if its true in what they are claiming to be a whole different experience then this is easier said than done. I guess we will see soon enough.

                  Or ya know, maybe some people have their own opinions as to which system is better, people buy what they want instead of going with what's "popular" and how old you are.

                  I'm pretty sure "kids" as you put them couldn't afford to buy an X1 or PS4, so they'll no doubt be waiting for their parents to make them a purchase. Along with that, most "kids" I know are hardcore Xbox fans, they'll be asking for that X1 purchase.

                  It has nothing to do with your age, a lot to do with financial income, and a lot to do with own personal opinion. It's like some of you just speak without even thinking first.

                    LOL at this thread. MichealJacksonEatingPopcorn.gif

                    18 pages and the only guy I even remotely agree with in any fashion is TeeDogg. I didn't expect(or care about) a demo to be honest. Would've been happy to learn the controls a bit early, but I also have been gaming long enough to know demo's never reflect a finished product well. Also been gaming long enough to remember when demo's didn't even exist, and the "in-store" Demo was a copy of the game in a system. Ahh the days of going to Babbage's and playing NBA Jam on the set up in-store SNES.

                    And then I see people saying that the lack of the demo supports these horridly hyperbolic facts including, but not limited to: "The devs are lazy", "They don't care about current Gen", "They don't want to expose the flaws in the game", "the game is 2k13.5", "They are all raging alcoholics", ect.

                    If this was wrestling, I'd say 2k was working all of you in a glorious fashion. They has a competent product, that has been time tested. They tried to fix all the problems we had with the previous iteration. Admittedly they skimped on some stuff that didn't need improving all that much(this is where the lazy comes into the arguments I'm fairly positive). The only glaringly obvious thing is probably Association Mode, which I will not go into because I don't ever play it and I'm afraid the association guys on the forums will tear me apart like a pack of wolves if I get something wrong(<3 you guys).

                    If the lack of a demo compels you not to buy the game, cool. I think that's a silly view, but you are welcomed to it. I'll be enjoying my copy on Oct. 1 with the rest of the guys that buy it. I'm not defending 2k here, I'm just saying they deserve a fair shake, and have tried to appease us the best that they could with the time they had on the CG release. It won't be perfect(now, or ever.), but can we atleast see if it's actually fun first?

                      "Analysts have estimated the sales of PS4 to reach around 1.8 million units this holiday season, while the Xbox One just 1.3 million, VG24/7 reports."

                      There will be plenty of kids/adults playing both systems.

                        2K14 Sales would be less than that then maybe 750K NG vs a couple million possible CG.

                          haha agree with you people just like to take sides and be fanboys dude.

                          i am unbiased, i have a 360 but will be buying a PS4 and maybe later an XB1 but the argument that the xbox one will not have any kids come on now... we all know consoles have a lot of immature kids playing, is inevitable

                            Or immature adults, which seem to be even more common than annoying kids with whiny voices.

                              If anything, I think the XBone will have more Kids on it, due to children's inherent nature to latch onto anything they think is cool. "MY XBOX IS AWESOME. PS3 SUXS! XBOXONE RULZ! SONY IS DUM!". I know, having a 6 year old younger brother(while being in my late 20's), and I can see how the mindset is. If they think it's cool they want the next one until they think that one sucks. I see PS4 being bought by level headed adults looking at what they want out of a system, and what they don't want, seeing as XBONE Screwed the pooch out of the gate, and has been playing P/R Catch up ever since the initial announcement. This is all opinion, granted, but I know plenty of friends who were die hard XBox fans that all cancelled the live subscription and preordered PS4s as soon as Xbox announced it's original policies.

                                shame that there's no demo but hopefully they justify it with two good versions of the game
