No I don’t believe so. The PS3 generally puts out demos every Thursday but this one was Thanksgiving so I’m guessing it won’t be on there till next Thursday.

What I find amazing is that people are upset because ball physics aren’t “life-like”. I remember playing video games when teams had no uniforms, no team names, no logos, no home arenas and no sweat.

Gamers are too damned spoiled. If you don’t like the game, don’t purchase it.

“Just to let you know, we tweaked the game speed and fast breaks for the retail version of NCAA MM 08. The game still won’t be run ‘n gun though. We want to emphasize half-court play this year and we think that most hardcore guys can appreciate that considering their past experiences with basketball videogames.”

Umm Hardcore basketball gamers play 2k because EA has always made run n gun basketball games.

I made the switch when 2k hit the Dreamcast and never looked back. I just check in on Live.

They may ruin basketball as EA Fans like it.

I wanted to say that Logic, but I dont want cats talking that Fanboy shit… I was playing nba 2k8 w/ my bro and I constantly score 10-15 pts and 10 boards with Drew Gooden for the Cavs…

Turn on the game last night against the Milwalkee Bucks and Drew has 10 pts and 10 boards, Damn.

You hit that shit on the head

This demo lost me at the tip off. If you can’t get something like ball physics right, there is no sense in further prolonging the pain and agony. The ball is not weighted down with lead. Just like it is not when you dare block a shot.

Add the high quality testing that you get from Electronic Arts (where it would be nice to change the camera angles in the demo) yet the potential customer is only able to do so before a game starts.

P.S. The two button shoot/dunk layup is fine for some but common sense would be to have the option to choose the other.

EA does not have a quality basketball game development team. If they did, they wouldn’t constantly get it wrong with their basketball titles. I mean how difficult could it be to make a proper representation of the sport. Last time I checked college basketball was a run and gun game, with some instances of halfcourt offense which is why it’s so exciting, and sometimes sloppy.

2k sports cleary defines what a basketball game should be like on the college and pro level While EA is currently still trying to find itself.

Nice 08′ Comeback EA… But I bet 09′ will be the next coming of Jordan… RIGHT.

EA – flashy sg who’s all about stats and has no regard for the team concept. All show, No go.

2k – quiet pf who gets you a double double every night and consistantly leads his team to the promise land. Clutch like Mj.
