Is the E3 NCAA a demo or retail?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think the game is even gold yet, so its a demo. I may be wrong though.

Considering they demo'ed stuff that's not in the demo it has to be retail.

actually in that case it only "has to be" a later build than the demo

Well considering the demo build is pretty early, I'd guess that it's just a later build, but not retail. As mentioned, I don't think the game is gold yet, so it's not a retail. Plus, they wouldn't wanna risk any game-crashing bugs to accidentally slip into their E3 version using a very recent build, so it's probably newer than the demo, but still kinda older...if that made any sense lol.

With less than 3 weeks to go before the game ships it has to be close to final build, if not final build.

Yeah I'd say its what we end up playing on our consoles. The game will be gold in about a week you know...because it takes about 10 days once it goes gold and most stores will have it the weekend before release, or in 23 days......

So 23 days (until stores have it) - 10 days = 13 days left until EA is 100% done with it and its gold.

We're just over 3 weeks from release. And the build at E3, isnt necessarily as current as the day E3 started. It could be a build from 3 weeks(just a guess) before E3 that they prepared just for the event.

The game hasn't gone gold, yet. So it's most definitely not the final build.
