Actually they don't care much, they've already gotten paid for that unit.

I guess its a good business move being that EA Access dropped. This makes me wonder about other Demos in the future tho.

I'm not somebody that automatically buys the game every year like most of you guys, so this leaves me frustrated and disappointed. I was counting on a demo to help me decide if I would buy the game, since it's been several years since I've played.

But it gives somebody else the ability to buy it used, and they don't get paid twice for the same unit; which means it takes money that otherwise would go to them, in the form of a new unit.


That's why digital games are pushed down our throats.

EA SPORTS is something else

By the way, the lack of a demo is probably unrelated to EA Access, since NHL 15 is getting a demo (confirmed by the lead producer) within the next few weeks.

I haven't bought a Madden game since 2009, but I have played the demos every year to see if EA MIGHT have finally taken the game in a new direction.

The game has not evolved over the past several years, so I don't really need a demo to confirm that this trend will continue.

But, with a demo, at least there was always some HOPE.

Now, I'll just wait for reviews, which have not been favorable in recent years.

This move seems to be consistent with Madden's downward trend though.

Not really.

Most people who buy the game used wouldn't be buying it off the shelf either way. There concern is just new units sold, what happens after that with said unit has no bearing on them and they know there is no way to prevent trade in (short of digital release only which is coming).
