I dont get how people say stuff like this every year around this time..the game has been fully done for awhile now.. probably will be shipping to stores in like 2 weeks or so, they cant work on commentary anymore not even in a patch.

I know the game is between the NFC Championship contenders, but really I hope the demo isn't a winter snow game. I wanna compare the grass to NCAA 12's.

From the demo they were showing on the web cast, it was perfect weather.

Did they say if Broadcast Cam is an option in the demo?

They are still using Gus Johnson so my guess is it's b. I'll be turning the commentary off again this year. I don't understand how people can think Johnson is good. He did a lot of Chiefs games last season and he is one of the worst in the business, and in the game he's even worse because he over exaggerates everything. Uggg , makes my brain hurt. Looking forward to the game though.

I'm skeptical but I gotta say I'm really excited for this demo! Don't care about commentary or team intros, gonna skip past that $het anyway and from what I've seen about the suction blocks and tackles I'm happy with, I just wanna know how it's gonna feel running with the ball. Period. Is there so much skating it kills the gameplay? or is it passable enough to deal with. This alone means a purchase or not.

Perhaps he'll get multiple opportunities to establish himself as a starter and continually blow it ala Alex Smith?

As far as commentary... considering it's five min quarters, I'd assume that's why we're not getting commentary; to cut down on the file size. 2K typically does this with their demos as well.

Needs to be Chiefs vs Pats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

# 51 NaturalSelected @ 07/27/11 11:05 AM

Looking forward to seeing how the game feels before I decide on picking this up.

# 52 happymadison @ 07/27/11 11:20 AM

personally i'm not a big packer or bear's fan but i can hardly wait to play it regardless of who's in the demo...aug 9th can't get here soon enough.

# 53 ybtherockstar @ 07/27/11 11:26 AM

So glad my packers are in the demo as I though they would be. Also glad I can beat our rivals.

And they played for the NFC Championship.

# 56 SuperNoVa27 @ 07/28/11 05:10 PM

Why not Packers vs Eagles

It was a much better game and was a score away from going the other way.

I'd say it was a much better matchup

# 57 drae2 @ 07/29/11 11:25 AM

It was a much better game? The Bears played the Packers better than everyone except the Steelers.

# 58 iamgramps @ 07/30/11 01:43 PM

If the gameplay is on par with NCAA, I'll be a happy camper.

That's pretty much false. There was never a doubt on who was winning the Packers/Bears game in the NFC championship. I think most neutral fans would agree. The Packers/Eagles game? Not so much, plenty of doubt...I thought the Packers were toast honestly but Vick messed up and they capitalized on his mistake.

That said, Bears vs. Packers makes much more sense for this demo than Packers vs. Eagles. Long time rivals, rematch of NFC Championship game, etc, makes perfect sense to me.

Totally agree. As a Packers fan, the Eagles game scared me the most, even more than the Falcons game and definitely more than the Bears game.
