No Demo for NHL 2K10

Re: No Demo for NHL 2K10

How can YOU call it embarrasing when you're the one who is constantly trolling and flaming?? All he is doing is proving his point. Face it man, your act got old, tired and called out.

I think the reason why people are "debating" with you right now is because your mind was made up no matter what the situation is and that can tick off alot of people on these boards who are looking for an unbiased opinion.

How anyone can take Eddie serious is beyond me. He would praise 2k hockey if it looked and played like Atari hockey.

Re: No Demo for NHL 2K10

Sliders don't change the way the game itself plays for the most part. It might change how easy or hard the game is - like how easy it is to say score a goal, or how hard players hit... But it doesn't change how the game controls and how the AI really plays.

The demo from pretty much every sports game I've ever played is pretty much exactly how the full game has played; the only differences were in that I could adjust how hard or easy it was - and change some things to make it a little more realistic. But if you don't like the way it plays, sliders don't change anything really.

Interesting. Last year was the first for me playing any demo and that was with MLB 2K9. I'm not into making drastic slider adjustments myself but since that is a huge thing in these forums, I figured it must completely change the way the game is played in all areas since people tinker with them so much. I play most of my games out of the box with very minor adjustments. Given 2k's list of sliders, this will be the first time I go deep into them to test out different styles of play.

LOL, not true. I never liked Atari anything. I was more of an intellivision man actually. It's not that I hate EA's games, I just prefer 2k's products.

That's ok.. but it kills me sometimes when you say this game is going to be great and nobody has even played it yet. Can you honestly say you're fine without a demo?

Re: No Demo for NHL 2K10

or you watch the gameplay footage from 2KHockey.net

watching videos is not the same as actually getting to play the game and get a feel for how it plays.

The word great is subjective. What's great for me may suck for someone else, so you have to realize that I'm just talking about what I like. I know none of us have played NHL 2K10 but those videos look very good to me and since I am a huge fan of presentation I know I won't be disappointed.

As far as not having a demo, for me it's no big deal because up until last year playing them rarely crossed my mind. I know for others it's a huge thing especially when it comes to spending your hard earned money, you want something you can put your hands on that will tell you whether it's worth buying or not. I'm not rich but I will blow money here and there just to try things out. Heck I'm liable to change my mind about NHL10 despite what I think about the demo.

I hear ya... there is a game called NCAA Football that I've bought before without playing a demo.. but nowdays I like to at least play a bit of a demo to get a feel for the game.

Eddie; I would just let them talk, be the bigger person. They are trying to get you are fired up. Just let them speak their peace. Even if it is against you a mod will take care of that.

Yeah, demos play a role for sure. I'm lucky enough to live near 3 rental places that always seem to have the popular games in stock, so I tend to rent prior to buying some games. But It certainly isn't cheap and if you forget to take it back on time you end of paying the price of a new game anyway. There are pros and cons for everything we do it seems.

Well things seem to have calmed down for right now. At least until someone pisses me off again. Seriously I think it's all good, these forums are a great outlet from the real world even if I get beat over the head every now and then. I'm having a blast and 2k hockey is right around the corner. Thanks for having my back Scott.

Scott, why even bother posting this? To rile things up again? Let it friggin' go.

Yeah Scott, stop causing trouble. I even took away my inflammatory signature to make peace with the forum.

Re: No Demo for NHL 2K10

I think everybody needs to stop, myself in included. It is getting old. The attcking is old and I think we all need to act our age. If you think not that is fine too.

I agree Scott. The healing here has already begun. What did you think about the second video of 2k hockey.

Re: No Demo for NHL 2K10

I loved it. The ice looks like ice this year.
