for hopefully the last time...but I doubt it.

this is a HANDS ON article....not a preview article, not a review article...but a hands on article....

why is pointing out the correct wording important?

because it is an Hands On article from a build that is not in PREVIEW form...or REVIEW form......

It does NOT say PREVIEW, it says Hands On for a reason. Because the Writer would get in big **** if he did call it a preview.....he would be misleading the reader.

but some readers, like most who have been panicking lately, have mislead themselves.

I'm waiting for another source to get into this. I haven't trusted GI in a looong time. I don't like the news about customization, but I'm not going to take GI's word on how this game plays or any other game for that matter.

Bottom Line-that preview or people ignoring "those serious flaws" (brought up by a questionable preview) isn't going to make or break this game. If the game sucks we are going to know by release time-if it is indeed by the end of May. I'd like to hear something about a demo release or a response to the Game Informer preview.

They'd be dumb if they released a demo for it. Sounds like the right thing to do, but for this game, they're gonna need every sale they can get. People could be easily turned off if the demo sucks.

they definitely need a Pro Mode demo with Easy, Medium, and Hard Difficulty levels AND two teams with varying player skill levels.

Previews and reviews don't mean much to me, but I do need to play or see a demo before I decide to invest in a product that has not earned my loyalty yet.

I only play football games in 'coach-mode', so that further heightens the need for the AI (both playcalling and on-field) to function at a respectable level in all phases of the game; or the game has no value to me, regardless of what else it may do well.

Since everyone has a different tolerance for AI hiccups, I need to see the game for myself to see what I can and cannot put-up with. Without a demo there is no chance I'll buy this game new. With a demo, at least they would give themselves a chance to win me over.

Hopefully the AI issues are fixed by playing on pro mode or at a higher difficulty level otherwise that is a game killer.

The customization doenst matter that much but the AI def does
