NBA 2K10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

[sportstek]

No demo for PS3 this late in the game is a very ominous sign.

If I owned a PS3 I'd rent or wait for the reviews on that system before proceeding with a purchase. This lack of demo could mean that the game lags/has framerate problems on the PS3 exceeding the problems some are reporting on the 360.

The lack of demo for PS3 could also be nothing and it's just some oversight issue with Sony, but I DOUBT IT. There hasn't even been an explanation...

Warning signs all over the place. My hope is that if there are issues with the game on either console, they can have a patch ready to go pretty soon after launch and not months afterward. I am really looking forward to the My Player mode. I hope that runs smooth at least.

I was thinking the same. Going to cancel my preorder now...

LMAO @ the threats to PSN. Maye you guys should go to the PS message boards and complain on there. Or 2k. I don't really care myself. sure i can't wait to play the game, but i'm going to buy it no matter what.

^^^ Lollll sorry but, I HAVE to laugh at you. Anyway, I played a few more games last night and I found the camera angle to be my only beef with the demo. I hate that you can't switch to the first defender back with direct switch and the R trigger anymore and with the camera like it is the other teams fast break tends to get behind me. Nitpicking but still....

Yeah, I'm probably about to cancel my pre-order, nd I was really, really pumped for this game. It's not like it's going to sellout off the shelves or anything, and with all the problems PS3 had pre-patch the fact they don't even want us to play the game before it releases is ridiculous. I know the demo wouldn't reveal problems like Association Drills and Quick Games constantly freezing (to the point my blu-ray drive broke and I had to repair it for $170), online lag to the point every shot release and free throw is different than offline, fuzzy courts...but still it's unsettling that last season's effort was subpar and now this year they're just totally ignorant to PS3 as if it were the Wii or PSP or something...I miss the PS2 days...

I agree. It was removed for offense as well. Unfortunately the "cheesers" were exploiting it.

As for Sony... this isn't the first game where they've lagged behind on demos, fellas. They just don't have a quick turnaround time on certain things, like demos and the such. That really falls on them...

[sportstek]

That could be true except that Sony released a demo for the other basketball game on time.

Well, let's just hope for the best. I have 360 anyway and even if there's some issues they will probably fix them quickly.

It just felt alot smoother...
