I share your affliction.

I'm waking up bright and early tomorrow from my usual time of 11:00 am to a nice 8:00am in the morning. Can't wait.

I'm equally confused as to why they have not released any actual gameplay videos, but I think that a pre-release demo is a good sign. If they were trying to hide poor gameplay from us then we wouldn't see a demo until after release.

With that being said, I'm stoked for tomorrow and expect to be blown away by the new physics

I remember when EA released a number of small gameplay videos for NHL10.
They even admitted to making them for the hardcore fans.

But I also remember a lot of complaining about little things after they did.
And who know? Maybe the promotional team didn't like that they did that?

In any event, the demo will reveal a lot. I'm definitely setting my alarm.

That'd be my guess if I had to make one. It's a very realistic possibility, and it's not like any devs would come out and say it either as you can't exactly throw your own company under the bus like that.

Oh well, only a few more hours now!
