Re: Demo news...

This is just uncalled for on EA's part.

Agreed. I don't have a Live connection, but my brother does so I guess I will use his. Bad decision on EA's part.

Re: Demo news...

Very smart move by the NCAA team. By inviting three people it will get more Ppl aware and interested in the game

Agreed,Absolutely brilliant

Re: Demo news...

So we have to be pimped out by EA and get more people to go online in order to get the rest of the PC's? WOW I've never felt so used in my life..

Re: Demo news...

I was also wondering how a demo is supposed to be shared.

If you are wondering what 'sharing news of the demo' means, it is similar to what EA SPORTS did with Tiger Woods 11 this year. They will be an area on the main menu to 'share with friend.' This then pulls up your friends list and you manually select which friends you would like to send a pre-composed message about the demo via XBL & PSN.

on the demo there will be something in the menu that says share with a friend. press on it, choose your friend, and send. make sure you send when the message comes up. good luck and see ya online.

Re: Demo news...

Can I take my Hard drive, bring it to somebody who does have a connection and play the demo there, and then use them on my hard drive? Trying to work around this.

Re: Demo news...

Okay I'm confused about several things: first to the people saying they have no live connect, how do you get the demo? don't you need live to download it?

And second WTF EA just give us the jerseys why make your customers jump through hoops? what's next if we don't tell 5 friends about the game we only get 3 teambuilder slots?

Good marketing on EA's part. I get it.

However, what happened to EA's simpler and more accessible mantra? Weird.

I think this is a possibility as well, like what they did with the AFL pack for Madden last year.

You don't have to sign up for FB, they are just posting Demo News there all day, as they have been for a while now. Whenever it is posted there it will be here in a matter of moments.

Re: Demo news...

EA may have issues with their games but when it comes to marketing no one does it better. This is a great marketing move IMO.

Re: Demo news...

It appears you only need to invite people to get the uniforms. Link

Re: Demo news...

It's the same thing they did for the tiger woods 11 demo. All it does is send a message to any friend you highlight and select and tells them about the demo. That is all it does but there may be a direct link to the demo in the message. So when you boot up the demo just select a friend and send them the message. Once the message is sent then you have shared the demo with a friend.
