There are only 2 timezones, which are 1h apart from each other, as far as I know in Europe. I guess they just put that date out, to make sure nobody gets upset if it doesn�t come out the 21st. But, on the other side, I don�t think there is an additional store update just for the NHL13 demo....

I guess what I�m trying to say is, I�m pretty sure we also get it the 21st here, but very late in the day most probably

!

Anyway...I can�t wait for it to come out!

How big will the demo be? I really thought last year was like just over 1GB or something? Then I look at the madden demo this year, and it's over 2GB!

Well Sega...I downloaded the Madden demo last night.

I haven't played Madden at all in four years, so maybe I was easily impressed with some of the things I saw.

There are still some issues, but overall...I had fun playing the demo. But it didn't curb my anticipation at all, for our NHL demo.

I feel the opposite... I didn't like the Madden demo.. Most was ok but the fact that you can still turn on a dime when running is terrible..

Moving on,
I can't wait for this demo to come out.. Tues or Wed It doesn't matter.. I want some NHL action... I'll be waiting as I am off on Wed and Thurs

wooohooo

Sega and Tim....

Yeah, I was being a bit kind to what I experienced with the Madden demo.

The one thing I really didn't like was, that the AI still never seems to adjust to your play-calling. On All-Pro, I was able to call the same slant pass repeatedly with complete success all the way down the field. And did the exact same thing the next drive. Same outcome. Now granted...it was on All-Pro not All-Madden, with default sliders. But again, I hadn't touched Madden in four years. That seemed to be quite easy after such a long absents, imo. With the cat and mouse game that football is...the at least seeming lack of the AI to adjust...that imo sorely needs to be there if in fact it's not. And yeah...some of the player movements are kinda hard to look at.

I was trying to be nice...now you guys got me ranting.

But anyway, yep...I am much happier with what I've seen outta NHL.
