Don't worry about that. The feedback will be ridonkulous on this demo.

EA has been awesome about responding to feedback and making corrections with this game...so I'm assuming this year will be no different.

HA! I forgot about the awesome windmill dekes at the point by the CPU defensemen. Definitely better the second day, but it made for some odd moments on the first.

Hmmm... I'm assuming that when the demo hit the stores, the shelf product is already out for final print and burn, or soon to be anyway.
Don't think we'll have the time to influence the actual game being shipped a few weeks later later.
What a great feedback could do though, is to speed up a first tuner set/patch.

Don't take my word for it, but that's what I think anyway.

... I'm fully aware of the development/creation process, and that would be why I talked about a Day-1 update. Thanks for reading though...

Easy fellas... Based on last year, I'm sure the team will be looking for feedback from the demo for tuning purposes -- we got the first tuner right around or at release last year -- as well as an eventual title update down the road.

And before anyone asks, no, I haven't heard anything about the release date of the demo.

1. Those are as good as money... those are IOUs.

2. The latter. I have no inside scoop, so don't bother asking. I'm as much in the dark about the demo as you guys are.
