For a game like this, why release a demo on launch day? Wouldn't you want to capitalize on demo hype and convert that to day 1 sales?

You would think, but I guess they don't see it the same way. It's almost as though they don't care.

I don't understand why people are commenting like EA has done them something personally. I agree releasing a demo the same day the game releases just seems like a terrible idea. I've questioned Live's marketing approach this entire cycle. However in the end people will have this game in hand before having to make a decision(barring anymore surprizes from EA). This delayed demo will only hurt Live 15 early sales as they won't be able to win over the people on the fense until the same day the game drops. Unless it so good people jump off their sofa's and run to the store or just download the game this is likely to hurt Live 15 day/week one numbers.

Wouldn't it be smarter to release it a week or more before release to prepare for the release of the game?

Why release the demo the day the game comes out? Sales will fail because of this decision.....Who ever controls their marketing decisions needs to be fired immediately!

Why is Live series the only EA sports games series that gets disrespected like this every year?

the opposite can also be true. Demos can also sway people away from purchasing the game. Im not speculating at all so dont read into this but....
if a company felt their game wasnt great they would hold off on a demo and hope people get anxious and buy the game uninformed. I highly doubt this is the case though because of early access. everyone is going to know how the game is perceived by the community before release day anyways. I think the assumption that EA wants to sell more EA access subscriptions is accurate.

how does a demo on release day makes sense o.0

[grodbetatted]

Everyone says EA promised an early demo... From the interview I heard Sean O'Brien said that they would "try" to get out an early demo, but that's just what I heard

And if you do want to see the game streamed check out either me or izzy on the NBALiveStreamTeam on twitch soon as they release the trial on EA Access

If EA came out tomorrow and said "NBA Live 15 is canceled" I swear some of ya'll would be in here defending the decision like: "Not a big deal, at least we'll get to play Live 16"

Like I said before, it sucks that I won't get an early demo as a PS4 player but I'll live...don't really see how it's hard to grasp the disappointment some are showing though...

This is just bad imo, it doesnt make any sense to me at all. I get the whole Ea Access thing ,its a good idea for Madden but a terrible choice when you have a product like Nba Live 15, in which no one has seen real 5 on 5 gameplay since the delay. I mean cmon, how do you expect to win over your fans when there is little to no care about them. And with their current track record, i highly doubt that someone who doesnt have EA access will play the demo (on the day the game comes out, what a great idea smh)and say "Oh Man!!!!!! , That demo was dope, let me go out and get it today!!!!!" If anything, i feel bad for the die hards of the franchise. Hearing this type of news wouldnt make me want to play the game, it would just push me away from it.

I would've liked to get my hands on the demo a bit earlier, but it is what it is. At least we'll start getting some impressions and video from XB1 users next week. I definitely won't be pre-ordering this game on good faith based on their track record with this series.

[ruggedrum]

Would you rather go pay 64 bucks for a ****ty game or at least play the demo in the morning and then decide if you are going to get it. Be happy the game is coming out if you are going to get Live. I'll be playing next Thursday 7 days and counting XB1 4Life!!!!

If you didn't preorder NBA Live don't you only get to try it for 6 hours using EA Access?

Well, only if you purchased a membership for EA Access before it's released!

Ill definitely be trying this out via EA Access but I won't be buying it no matter how good the game is, not for $59.99. Not with NBA 2K15 and all the good games coming out this fall, no way I nor 99% of people are going to pay that much money for this game, the sales will be abysmal. If it's a good game Ill pay $29.99 for it at most.

Re: NBA Live 15 Demo Arrives on October 28th For PS4, EA Access Version on October 23

Considering this is the Live series and it's sketchy history of cancelled titles, people should be happy that a demo and the game are actually coming out!

This right here makes 0 sense to me.

But hey, I must fall under the '1%' of people who are willing to pay full price for the game if it turns out to be really good.

Of course if the game turns out to be terrible I'll spend $0 on it and move on with my life.
