You cant state things a fact. You didnt say "I think EA wasn't willing to give them a big enough slice of the pie."

Again be more clear in the future.

It took them 3 years to wise up? Also your definition of a demo is wrong.

It's actually FUN to get the demo a few weeks early. It's kinda been an unofficial aspect of the whole Madden release window hype experience: E3 videos, developer blogs, gameplay snippet vids, more developer blogs, then the demo, then full game footage released, then Madden Midnight launch and finally Madden Holiday. To me, the demo has always been right in the middle of all that.

But I can't say no demo means no purchase. I didn't like the Madden 13 demo too much with the "ragdoll" physics, but I still bought the game. Madden 25 demo (PS3) had disappearing players (which made into the retail version) and I still bought the game. And I never bought into this idea that the demo and retail were going to be noticeably different. Always seemed to the same to me.

Yet I still always buy the game because there is no substitute for playing full quarters and playing around in the menus, etc. So it's disappointing not to have a demo, but hopefully some full game videos are released by EA in the next week.

This is incredibly stupid. Don't know if I'm getting it now or ea access for that matter.

Im gonna buy the game either way because im a football junkie. Even more so this year because guys like me are really missing an NCAA football game. Usually NCAA would hold me over just fine until the Madden release. Probably gonna grab the early access too as I have a problem with patience. lol.

By far the hardest part about this years wait for Madden is not having NCAA. A title that is IMO much stronger than Madden when it comes to AI, Sliders and overall replayability.

In my opinion a demo is not what you described. The typical is typical 2 teams in a shortened game. That in no way represents a full but limited version. When you say full but limited I think more along the lines of a trial version, because in no way has EA every provided is a full but limited demo. Just my opinion.

So this cuts out the excuse of "relax guys, it's only a pre-Beta demo" if the game disappoints.... Lol

It kinda reminds me of movie companies that refuse to preview their movies with the movie critics.....one thing is a constant, all those movies suck. Question here is, what are they hiding? I think I'll wait for a bit before I lay out my cash.
