No News on the Timing of a NBA Live 15 Demo

[bumpyface]

I don't care when it drops, as long as it drops so I can try the game. Last years demo saved me money, hopefully this year's will earn EA/Tiburon some money.

Exactly. I got it coming through GF. If it's decent I'll buy. I'm looking for a hoop game where I'm in control! I don't like what occurs on the screen to be left to chance.

My plan exactly. I've found that as long as you only have the game you really want in your Q, and you have no games out when it releases, they will actually ship it out the Monday before it arrives in stores. I've gotten FIFA 15 and 2k15 both from Gamefly within 2 days of release. I'm enjoying 2k, but I damn sure want to at least try Live. I thought the Hands-On by Gametrailers looked pretty good, and their opinions on the gameplay were very positive overall. I still haven't seen enough to convince me about the defense and collision animations, but the movement of the players looked surprisingly good, and the graphics were top notch too.

Better hope the control and animations are better than last year then.....

Re: No News on the Timing of a NBA Live 15 Demo

Well.....next Tuesday is the lsat day they can release a demo on the PS4 before the game is released. So were really in the "4th quarter" here.

I have absolutely no problem skipping the purchase on release day and wait for a demo after release. Live no longer is blind purchase for me on day one. Research and thinking is being done before I buy. I do collect the series, so I will eventually pick it up (i bought a brand new copy of Live 14 just a month ago for $10).

Either way, no first day buyers urge here. I'm waiting this one out.

Re: No News on the Timing of a NBA Live 15 Demo

At this point I hope they don't release a demo the way some people here are acting.

Sounding like scorned children.

Last I checked they aren't begging anyone to buy the game.

They said they'll release a demo and release it early. If they don't live up to that, by all means bash them because no one forced them to say that.

But the game doesn't get released for another 2 weeks. If a demo drops between now and then, it's gonna be this same nonsense going on in here.

On one side, "LIVE IS BACK! I told y'all!"
On the other side, "This isn't next gen! The other game has X, Y and Z!"

EA doesn't owe anyone anything. They've jerked the community around for years, so why is there this fuss like they once were cool with you and now they're not?

People can preorder a game without seeing it if they want. Why are some of you concerned with how the next man spends his money? All preorders can be cancelled.

EA trolling some of y'all heavy. For a game that's been garbage for half a decade, there sure is buzz about it.

Re: No News on the Timing of a NBA Live 15 Demo

Bottom line is NBA Live 15 is less than two weeks away from release and we have not seen ANY gameplay videos at all. There is NO Demo date listed.....As much as I want Live 15 to be great...this seems a bit fishy

There IS a pre-defined demo date, its for 6hrs total over 5 days prior to release. The sad part is you may have to purchase it. I don't see them releasing this demo outside of EA access (sorry PS4 people) before release, that would be a slap in the face to those who bought it (EA Access), and is not a sound business decision going forward after they released the EA Access model for demos/games.

I'm not saying they won't release a demo outside of EA Access (how would I know?), but rather why should they at this point when the competition has a buggy release? Most of the basketball video game negativity is in the other forum right now, for good reasons.

Re: No News on the Timing of a NBA Live 15 Demo

Why would you care that people are upset about not receiving any news on a demo though? In a thread covering the subject at that?



I would love to have a demo, but in the end it doesn't really matter...at least they've confirmed it. I definitely will be playing it before I follow through on my pre order.

I was under the impression that EA Access allowed XB1 users to play the FULL game for 6 hours over 5 days prior to release. Paying a monthly fee in addition to Xbox Live for a bare bones demo from an older build is a bit much. If that's the case, XB1 owners deserve the apology.

Awesome title. Love how no news is news with live. Every year it's the same...show us live so we can hate on it already!

This is what I was under the impression of as well. Full game for 6 hours over the course of that week.
I thought a standard demo would be released to everyone.

It's 6 hours regardless. I still have 4 hours left for NHL 15 and 2 hours for FIFA 15.

I'll tell you what.. if you keep coming here to take shots at posters then leaving only to come back and do it again, you won't have to worry about it much longer.

You've already been warned about co-signing troll posting. That's pretty much it for you too. You keep posting off topic and have no intention of talking about the subject at hand.

I cant agree with a post? He stated something and I agreed with him. How is it trolling?

You can probably lock this up now.
