You would think with all the buzz and excitement they created for the Infinity Engine, they would be chomping at the bit to show gameplay videos and get the demo out. They have done neither.... EDIT: If you follow NHL you can see how confident they are in their product. They release 5 minute long RAW gameplay videos showing specific changes to their gameplay. With Madden we get 30 second clips of a zoomed in view that is in more of a "sizzle trailer" format then showing real gameplay.

I totally agree with this!! You would think they would be releasing info/gameplay every week to give something to the fans and build the hype, but no!! Instead they will release the gimmicks, advertisments, and the same old BS!! Why isnt there a release date for the demo? Is it some big secret, lol!! Even if the game is decent it still will be plagued with flaws!! This is the 1st year of the new engine? Think for a second, they been at this for 7 maddens on the 360 and in my opinion the game has been almost total junk!! Is it the technology, not enough money, lack of competition, or is it EA?? What is it that makes Madden football (in the year 2012) such a terrible game!! Ya to people that dont know football and arent die hard football people, the games have looked great! Ooh, aah it looks so real but they dont know!!!!!! This kills me because SOME people want a game that is on par with the year that we live in!!

All that from a demo release date thread? lol.

Anyway, it's probably at MS or Sony certification stage, and both parties haven't let EA know an exact date.

Relax... If it comes out next tuesday, that will be TWO full weeks ahead of the release. If you are EA you want to come out right about 10-14 days before the release. Generate some excitement. You dont want it to come out too soon before the release...

A lot of people are reading into nothing.....

It's just assumed at this point. Nothing has been officially announced but all signs point to it being released next week based on past experience.

Really excited to play the demo to actually see the difference between Madden 12 tackling and Infinity engine tackling.

Is it assumed that the game is going to be great too!! Ive assumed for the past 8yrs and look where that has gotten me lol! But I guess, I will assume along with everyone else that it will be worth buying??
