I'm waking up bright and early tomorrow from my usual time of 11:00 am to a nice 8:00am in the morning. Can't wait.

Not sure why this is.. Madden 11 had a TON of gameplay vids prior to the release of its demo.. FIFA 11 has had about as much as NHL so far.. hard to say why this is...I guess the truth (demo) shall set us free lol

I'm equally confused as to why they have not released any actual gameplay videos, but I think that a pre-release demo is a good sign. If they were trying to hide poor gameplay from us then we wouldn't see a demo until after release.

With that being said, I'm stoked for tomorrow and expect to be blown away by the new physics

I remember when EA released a number of small gameplay videos for NHL10.
They even admitted to making them for the hardcore fans.

But I also remember a lot of complaining about little things after they did.
And who know? Maybe the promotional team didn't like that they did that?

In any event, the demo will reveal a lot. I'm definitely setting my alarm.

That'd be my guess if I had to make one. It's a very realistic possibility, and it's not like any devs would come out and say it either as you can't exactly throw your own company under the bus like that.

Oh well, only a few more hours now!

Does anyone know if you need a Gold membership to download it on xbox? For Madden 11 I had to wait a week because I'm a silver member...

I wouldn't read into things too much. I think this year they not only had more on their plate getting physics in and working but they're really at a point where the game can speak for itself, especially with the demo dropping tomorrow. Add in the personnel changes on the team this year as well and it may explain why the level of "extra" footage wasn't as high as last year.

Totally agree.
And last year was a bit of an anomaly too. I can't remember another EA sports game where they put out that many gameplay clips for hardcore fans. We just go spoiled.
