No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

For what it's worth, I could. But I'd rather not spend anything. Unfortunately, even the closest Redbox to us is quite a drive. If a demo were available, I could check it out, either preorder or pick up day 1.

As it is, I'll wait it out. The San Antonio vs Heat footage showed some improvement, even though it's obviously on a easier difficulty. I'll wait to see some hands on footage.

But you said best case scenario is buying it on craigslist which is still spending something.


I get it, I don't rent games either because coverage here is enough for me on games but it's not at all fair to say they only way you can play a game if there is no demo is to buy it.

If redbox is too far there is gamefly. There are many options if you want to play it before buying it. I'm sure there will even be kiosks at Best Buys with the game once it's out if you don't want to pay anything.

Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

Was truly hoping for a demo. Some of the things that bother me can only be felt. I guess best case scenario is wait for it used on Craigslist, or for some impressions from the guys that have the same issues that I have.

Worst part, is I had been told recently to wait for the demo, and judge for myself to see how much of the things were fixed, and how much remained.

2k Demos as we all know are usually pretty stripped down...would a demo from them really give you that feeling you need? Has it with past demos from them? Curious

2k doesn't have to release a demo. Live does. Demos are great to have but they take away from development time for the retail version. If you're a company trying to win back market share, then a demo is more appropriate. PES was in this position and their demo has caught people's attention. This is what Live has to do, so I'm not surprised 2k decided to not to release a demo.

All I need is gameplay, seeing what level of control I have. If it forces me into animations, and out of position defensively, that's where I get aggravated.

Maybe next time you should turn defensive assist off

You can force the controls in a certain way where you're doing all kinds of crazy stuff too unintended, but I agree that you shouldnt be always forced out of position just because. Now if it makes sense thats another argument.

It would for me. I'm more interested in the gameplay side of things, and you can't see differences from watching videos.

[WTF]

Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

That's the first thing I do Dre. Defensive assist is horrible, but the game shouldn't force me anywhere, especially out of position, when defensive assist is at 0.

Those are the things I want a demo for. I don't want to pay for game fly when I play basketball titles, and not much else.

I'll wait to see some lengthy videos and grab it on Craigslist after the hoopla has died down if I see it's toned down my issues considerably. I can handle some degree of this stuff, but not that much.

I was under the assumption that I'd be able to try it prior. Like kehlis mentioned, maybe a best buy will have it out on demo.

Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

I always thought that they even left some Gameplay changes out of demos, maybe not a lot of course but some.

Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

I hated their demos to be honest with you. Too short and too rigid, stripped down and I never really get too used to controls with them.

I find that I can play just fine with defensive assist on. I tried it with it at 0 and it seemed to be more of a hinderance to me with it off... not sure why but I like playing on ball D as well as some chasing guys around screens so I dont have issues most of the time.

I know when to bump and guy then move back in time enough where im not hurting myself or reach in to stop his progress of waiting for a play to evolve then back up so I wont get caught reaching and get burned. Seems to work just fine for me.

Like I said man, I wanted a demo too...(mainly for selfish reasons, this was already a day one but for me) but if your truly interested in playing the game before making a decision on buying there are definitely a lot of options out there....if your not a fan of the way 2k bball plays in the first place though, I don't think a demo would matter in the end.

Can't think of one 2k, or bball game demo period that was a true reflection of the game....to me they're just appetizers...

Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

Meh, I didn't really expect a demo anyway so no biggie for me. And I agree, everyone knows how 2K plays and I don't think that 15 will be groundbreakingly different.

Seems like most devs on PS4/X1 are not releasing demos. Maybe it's a next gen thing??

Re: No NBA 2K15 Demo Confirmed

I remember this for defense long ago... ..not everyone gets forced out on D like that

Bolded for truth

[videlsports]

No big deal to me, I mean I wanted to try it out sooner but Oct 7 will be here soon enough
