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.

I didn't even account for 2 to 3 days for shipping...so yeah..10 days until it goes gold, give or take..

Hellisan from EA via tradition football said the E3 version isn't final but very close. It's supposed to look better than the demo (about two months old) and the 360 version looks better than the PS3.

So its confirmed the 360 has the better graphics than ps3 this year?

Skulletor - excellent point...I concur!

The only confirmation right now are a few pairs of eyeballs but it shouldn't shock anyone. When's the last time anyone has said an EA sports game this generation looked better on the PS3? Us PS3 guys have been simply waiting for equality. I wouldn't expect a big difference though.

I made a thread about this last night, but as usual, it got locked.

I have a PS3 and I have the demo....but I could tell watching 360 vids on youtube that it looked better. THAT to me is a shame. If I could tell this watching a cruddy youtube vid, it must be painfully obvious in person.
