CONFIRMED: No Madden NFL 15 Demo

[DirkJesusNowitzki]

Have they announced exactly what is in the Madden 15 trial for EA Access?

Renting not an option?

Hows this man? I'm not one to sugarcoat things and say their good when they're not, but I'm also not a basher and an EA ***** just because. For the most part, if I'm gonna throw an impression out there, it'll be legit. I'm getting the game day one digital, already paid in full. I'll play it some. (couple 2, 3 days) and I'll personally let you know. Now, I'm not a critic, so I won't be uber focused on EVERY detail the game offers; Looking for minutia. And there's modes I dont play (like CFM actually), but as far as core gameplay goes, I'll check it out for you.

Me too. In fact, I got into an entire EA franchise because of a demo -- Skate.

Possible translation only.

Disappointed but kind of expected since the release of EA Access. Either way, I was going to pre-order the game anyway as being a Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked member, I will get the game for $38 sealed plus tax and even if it's not worth playing and keeping, when I trade it in, I'll even out.

So, for me personally, no demo is no biggie.

Personally I think it's a smart business move. They've already enticed a lot of people with their improvements and its a way to sell the early pass.

I really do like what I've heard so far, especially the overall direction this series appears to be headed now.

However, If I wasn't so positive about the news and there was no demo, It would be another year I'd be skipping Madden. I can go back and play Madden 12. I wasn't a fan of Madden 13's CCM and for the first time in 11 years I skipped a madden game with 25. I don't need a game every year anymore to be honest.

All that being said, most of the time when I think I'm going to end up skipping a game, whether it was NBA 2K14 or 15, or Madden 12 or Madden 15, they reel me back in.
