CONFIRMED: No Madden NFL 15 Demo

[saunupe1911]

I don't have the time to re read the whole thread. So EA said 5 days before release...So will only get to see a piece of the game on the 21st or will some type of demo roll out before hand through the EA service?

There's no demo, period.

EA has a new service that will provide access to the full game 5 days early, but only on Xbox One. That is being discussed here: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ited-beta.html

I don't want to derail this thread because it's supposed to be about the demo so I will end this subject with this comment. Football is and always will be bigger in the US. But worldwide is a different story. Hockey is now played in 7 countries in Africa, 7 in South America and 34 countries in Asia and that list is growing every year. It is quickly becoming a global sport. The 2010 Super Bowl in Miami drew just over 74,000 fans, the 2010 IIHF Wold Championship in Germany drew just over 77,000 fans.

I don' think that comparing the attendance of a game that is limited by stadium seating would be the best way to compare the two's popularity. If that were the case college teams like the Tennessee Volunteers way more popular than the Super Bowl.

However, like you said this conversation is off topic.

As the only game in town now that NCAA has unfortunately hit the road (it was always the better series), Madden now has a chance to capture the $65 that NCAA'ers would only dole out for that game...yet they decide that they don't want to give that new crowd a taste of a series that several of us haven't really dove into over this past generation of systems.

Just a dumb call. NCAA'ers already questioning if they want to go back to Madden after being burned by a stale game for years now have no push to get it. I'm good waiting on FIFA or NHL if I'm waiting a week or so for Madden reviews and the bugs to be found and worked out.

For everybody saying rent.

I don't want to spend money to find out if I'll like something or not. Doesn't make sense to me.

Also, the things I want to find out about Madden I can't in the two days of renting before having to return it.

For that matter, the Madden Demo's didn't tell me what I wanted to know either (franchise stuff, simmed stats, long term game balance, team ai logic for trading, roster management, etc).

So the demo doesn't do me much good either. That's why I value OS so much. To get info from OSers that I trust who have the game. This site tells me much more about the game (after release) than any EA demo ever did. Frankly, info about the game, and giving my opinions about where I want the game to go (knowing devs do read these posts and Madden is my only choice) is the only reason I come to OS.

OS is what really makes me decide whether to spend the 60 or not. It really is a valuable resource.

Sometimes I wanna punch EA. Sometimes I wanna punch Sony. Right now I want to punch both. I wish sony picked up the ea subscription service that xbox did and I also wish there was a demo for madden before I go out and spend another 60 dollars on a video game. But oh well. I guess I will go pretend like I'm playing the demo.

I don't disagree with you at all Bucky, and I think you and are on the same page because I feel the same way about demo's as you do.

My only point, and the only reason I keep bringing it up is that if a user isn't willing to do due diligence whether that be using OS, reviews, or renting, would you not disagree that they have no ground to stand on by complaining about no demo?
