It would put people's subconscious mind at ease. I don't spend 50 hours on the Madden and BB forum and not buy the game. That's crazy.

LOL. agreed! This is why I am not on the Madden forums much at all this year. I am never buying again, and I need to stay off the forums. I actually barely post on OS anymore, because I only want THE BEST video games right now. I have time in my life for maybe 2 max, and I would really like one to be a football one.

At the end of the day, you are your own best critic when it comes to choosing a video game.

Completely agree. If the demo is at least decent I will be buying the game regardless of what the reviews are even if they are terrible.

I just find it funny people put so much stock into other people's opinions when it comes to reviews espcially from sites like IGN and some of the other ones. Some of those sites are pretty clueless when it comes to judging sports games.

Not to mention like others said I am expecting the game even if it is good to not get very positive reviews for some of the reasons already listed in this thread. I think some of the reviewers are going to have a predetermined bias against the game going in.

Look on the bright side, at least you don't have to worry about depth.
