No many positives in there

Thanks man. You're right, didn't look very good in there.

Some franchises may be able to get away with not showing a lick of gameplay eleven days prior to release. NBA Live is not one of those franchises.

Can't wait until the trial. I will be streaming as soon as game the is available on EA Access. Will be taking requests for different teams and different modes if anybody is interested. And yes, I call plays, so I won't just cheese, I want to see some strategy.

Interesting strategy for sure. Maybe they want the game in people's hands so you'll get impressions rather than just videos? I don't know. I'm looking forward to seeing what people think once they play it though.

Exactly Scoob

I've never seen a company STALL this hard and not be called out on it before.

I've seen so much useless information over the weeks its mindboggling.


The perception out there is hiding. Defend it or not people thought they were getting an early demo possibly, and this is just what im reading everywhere.

From hearing Pastapadre the interest in this game is # 4,083 on the videogames list. That's awful for a AAA game coming out in the coming days.

..and with some of these other games coming out, even if remastered like GTA, Assasins Creed and others, thats a hard point to kick up against.

Well, if I play this demo and enjoy it, it's going to have an advantage over the other game that doesn't have a demo. Or I can just go without basketball altogether like I did last year.

People thinking a late demo will hurt sales are forgetting that releasing 3 weeks after 2K was FAR worse and will have a far greater impact!

People need to think a bit. Why was the game delayed in the first place? Because it wasn't ready (which scares me). So to release a demo ahead of time it would have been an early and crappy build. EA can't afford to screw up anymore. It's better to deliver a good product late than a buggy product early. Remember the Jesus Elite video that went viral?

Plus I agree with Nemesis. Early demos are for the hardcore and they don't even need the demo. EA is hoping to score more casual gamers I think a later demo won't hurt but a crappy demo would. On the flipside, if the game and demo are bad delaying them and/or hiding them may be strategic but also ensure the end of this franchise.

EXACTLY, its a win-win for EA for releasing a demo when they are. If they release a good game and demo, then they have secured a fanbase for their next release while garnering more pre-orders for this year and next. Even if the game is bad by our standards, they win because they still had preorders and EA access to get some money back for it. If they released early to bad reviews, then they lose everything before they even release.

I just hope reviewers remember that its SUPPOSED to play differently from the 2K series, and that side by side comparisons are welcome.

Wait, serious question, are we even allowed to compare the two openly on this site? It is sure to create heated discussions either way, and mods could see fit to just not allow it here at all.

Would you consider last year a "win-win?" They did the exact same thing last year. 180k sold. They're struggling getting preorders this year.

They should have never said "earlier then usual" as far as demo release date goes..

Add this to their list of many other "Should have never said". There's still room for more...

where did they say this officially ?

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

They said we would get a early demo way back in August, that clearly went out the window when the game got delayed, Idk why that's so hard for people to understand.
