I appreciate that, but I've seen these videos the moment they came out, which is roughly going on two months ago now. From what I understand, there have been tweaks and improvements to the game engine and fluidity since that E3 build...and I would like to see what a recent build of the game has to offer in some "Raw gameplay footage."

Not too bothered. Never play demos as it only serves to frustrate in my opinion. If I was a developer I would contemplate not even releasing to the masses.

That's how I feel too. If I was a Publisher and I had a game that was under the radar and I thought that the game could get a nice buzz from a demo then I would probably release one. For any million plus selling AAA title, I wouldn't.

Gamers would be cussing me out, and cooking up all kinds of conspiracy theories, but I'd be a cocky SOB. "Rent it or wait for reviews if you don't believe me, but this game is the ****, and We're not releasing any 75% finished version for mass consumption/analysis, this game will be judged on the retail release only."

i believe theres one more week with the wr's then they said the rest would be revealed on the 24th...

Interesting. I figure with all the big reveals they're having, they'd have one for the demo as well. I guess it'll just be a tweet or something.

Can't get too amped for this fellas. The last couple demos that came out didn't even come close to representing the finished product.

Exactly my point. I'd ditch demos if I was amongst the EA Sports crew all together.

That's EXACTLY why I don't like mods or GC or even other posters question why we would ever want to see current gameplay post E3!! Ummm, maybe because it's quite improved and it was too loud to hear much of the announcing. Is that so hard for people to comprehend?

# 50 PantherBeast_OS @ 08/06/12 09:39 PM

It is a bummer that they are waiting an extra week before putting the demo out. But what can we do accept wait it out. I guess EA has their reasons for waiting.

# 51 mars85042 @ 08/06/12 10:14 PM

I'll play the demo; but won't judge, the game will be completely different!!!
Patience grasshopper; just 19 more days

# 52 AlmostLikeFlacco @ 08/06/12 11:13 PM

You guys do know that releasing the demo on the 14th still gives you 2 whole weeks with the demo before retail release, right?

That is more than enough time to get a feel for the game.

# 53 CaliDude916 @ 08/06/12 11:17 PM

I figured it would be the 14th. Can't wait!

# 54 kingsofthevalley @ 08/07/12 01:58 AM

Great...just great. Damn demo comes out on the exact day I go BACK to work. We have a 96 period starting this thursday at noon which ends tuesday morning which means an extended weekend for me. I was really hoping to have the demo over this time period.

Damn, right when my temperature was settling back down from the no editing/no draft class announcements, EA goes and throws a monkey wrench in my gears again. WTF is next? This game better be out of this world now, they better show and prove.

If you are confident about your product you want the public to get a taste of it and you want enought time to increase your buzz. Coming out with a demen just before release is not a positive sign. I just don't think EA is confident in this game to withstand us picking it apart.

Or, if you want to tighten things up till the last moment, you do that for your customers before releasing a looser game.

why would you want Madden to destroy NCAA when they both should be going hand in hand i should be able to look forward to my SS that terrorized the collegiate gridiron being in Madden, but Im over that really dont have choice but to be over it this year. I think NCAA is good game and I hope Madden is a good game as well. They are both made by the same company why should one be so much better than the other?

# 57 dboyfresh89deuce @ 08/07/12 04:39 AM

I would figure the demo would come out Tuesday the 7th since Gamestop is offering $30 trade-in for NCAA 13 when you trade it in by the 8th. I figure that would be perfect timing to set up whether you're really deciding on buying the game since you'll have a full whole day to play the demo.

Most likely we'll get a later build for the demo. As for more vids, check out Pasta Padre's site, too. He has a bunch. I would give link but I have to get there, myself, lol

# 59 Armor and Sword @ 08/07/12 12:51 PM

My hope is they give us a CCM demo like NCAA 13 gave us a dynasty experience demo. It would be nice to see the new set-up, and get a feel for the new user interface.

We shall see.

# 60 XplosiveRunna26 @ 08/07/12 02:42 PM

Hopefully this year, since we can't "edit" our rosters, we get COMPLETELY ACCURATE representation to what we see on sundays/thursdays/Mondays, as far as player tendencies/jersey numbers/equipment, etc.from helmet to toes...with that said, I wonder if replacement refs will be in....
