If they go outside the box with the World Series teams, I'm saying Red Sox v. Phillies.

Do the Demo's ever have more than just 3 innings of a game?

Nope they have always been 3 inning games in the past, mind you IIRC there had to be a winner in the MLB 09 demo so you could technically play more than 3 innings if the game stayed tied.

I'm pretty sure the '10 The Show demo was 4 innings.

For those who believe in Tuesdays, it's gotta be either the one upcoming or the following because obviously the one after that is March 8. So let's hope for this very next one so we get a full 2 weeks becoming acquainted with the game!

Actually next tuesday is the 22nd, 2nd Tuesday is the 1st not the 8th

That's great news! And I had actually started getting bus fare ready for a few trips to best buy. Especially since the TVs there look better than mine and I don't want a downgraded visual of the game when I get it home.

I kinda dont want a demo haha especially if its out next tuesday cuz killzone is out next tuesday and i wanted the 2 weeks to get hardcore killzone in before the show. But i guess having a demo would be great either way.

I don't play killzone, but that sounds like a pretty good problem to have. Demo isn't going to help me decide whether or not I'm buying the game, just helps me get over the wait. In this year's case, I can get a hang of the controls so I can start my season right away.

IIRC, they didn't release the demo until like 2 weeks after the game came out. It was quite disappointing.

the point of releasing a demo is not to give people a sneak peak of the game before they buy it. It's to convince people who are on the fence to buy the game.

I'm sure most of us here would love to just get out hands on anything, even if it's an earlier build. But from a marketing standpoint, it would be smarter to delay the demo and make sure it looks and runs good to attract potential buyers.

Ya this is it exactly, i have gotten the show every year since mlb 05. I dont need the demo to know if its good. I would play it to get used to the controls like you said.

Actually, I don't want the demo either, since I'm picking up my new PS3 on Saturday and getting Assassin's Creed:Brotherhood and LBP2 as well. I have all of next week off, so I have a ton of time to beat those games.

(Although Kevin Butler says I can't beat LBP2.)

I dont see how what i said ruining it for others? Plus i never said i wouldnt download it, i just said i, just me not anyone else, dont want it and i stated a reason just for sole purpose. I then stated in the next post that i would definitely play it to get used to the controls. There was intent to "ruin it for others." i doubt anyone was, but if you were i apologize.

I would definitely say releasing the demo BEFORE the game drops would be a better strategy. Build up anticipation for the game, and plus it could be good market research for them to see how many people downloaded the demo and then how many of those people bought the game on launch day. They would know this by tracking your PSN account and looking at the download date of the demo, and if you, say, downloaded the first patch or logged onto SportsConnect on the launch day.
