I'm certainly no fan boy, not by a long shot. I see EA as a pretty horrible company, and their exclusivity is a horrible thing. People are free to form any opinion they want from the demo, that's the point of them. I just wanted to know why people place what seems to be a very finalising opinion things just from the demo, be it positive or negative?
Nice to see you throwing the stereotypes out there straight out of the gate though, good effort!
Putting it this way, using an example. You're playing NCAA, it's a bowl game. You are 4th and 10, 2 minutes to go, on half way, no time outs left. You have to pass, drop back, and you get sacked. Your left tackle didn't stop the DE, blew right by him. If you're playing the demo, you probably criticise the line play, probably say the demo is poor, maybe say that it's not been programmed very well.
That same scenario happens in NCAA 14, you're playing the release copy of the game. Maybe you recruited that left tackle because with a few stats improved here and there, you could have a pretty solid player, but you haven't quite got his awareness and pass blocking up yet, and it let you down at a key time. And that LT will be back next year and will be pretty solid. Maybe it was down to the player, and his ratings, and you can see the context of that, and you've performed above expectation to get where you did during the season, instead of just blaming the play of the demo.
Just an example, and perhaps not even the best, but still, it helps to illustrate what I'm getting at.
If you wanna discuss the topic I proposed, lets do it. If you only have standard "fan boy" nonsense to spew out there that has no relevance to a perfectly legitimate question that I asked, then you may as well jog on, cause I'm not interested.

I don't care whatever kind of goofy scenario you want to come up with, they give us a demo to give us a glimpse of what it will be like to play the game. It's not like this is our 1st rodeo, we've had plenty experience and can form a really good idea of what the final product will be based on the demo. Yes the demo doesnt' include recruiting and all that stuff but it includes the most important thing in the game, gameplay.
The whole point of a demo is to give you a gauge of what to expect. Whats the point of a demo if we're just supposed to ignore what we see in it or chalk off the bad as "well it's not the retail version."
