Madden NFL 13 Demo NOT Coming Tuesday, Most Likely August 14th

Re: Madden NFL 13 Demo NOT Coming Tomorrow

Well, last year it came out three weeks before release, and the year before it came out two weeks prior to release. So if the demo comes out next week it will fall right in line with the last two years.

Oh I didn't see that it was 2 weeks for Madden 11.

Man I miss when the game came out earlier.

Me too. Seeing that August 10th for Madden 11 and then realizing that's only four days away from today makes the late release even worse.

If this is the case, then looks like NHL might be the same with the demo being out 2 weeks before the game.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Demo NOT Coming Tomorrow

Traditionally the demo has been announced about 2 weeks in advance of release. Not saying that means anything, just saying.

I would venture to say, no announcement by the end of this week, may mean "no demo coming before release". A lot of things are different this year.

The anticipation sucks! However, it also sucked having the game in-hand and having to wait weeks for the week 1 roster update to officially begin franchises.

So there's give and take. I want the game now, but I like that when it hits retail, the week 1 roster update won't be far behind & thus franchises can begin sooner.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Demo NOT Coming Tomorrow

We had tons of info revealed prior to E3 via the presentation podcasts, Madden was one of EA's main games shown at E3, and from E3 we got TONS of pure gameplay videos.

So regardless off how much gameplay we've seen, and info we've received, because it hasn't been on last year's time schedule, suddenly this game is going the way of NBA Elite? Some of you can't possibly be serious with this...

Honestly, outside of seeing MORE gameplay footage, what more do you need to know? We know about the physics, the updated animations, CC mode, graphical/lighting updates, we've gotten weekly screenshots of players and legends... and despite all this, we've gotten a lack of info? Again, outside of just seeing a few more gameplay videos, we've already been told almost all the info there is to know about this years title. And let's be honest, if they continued to release podcasts/webcasts of things we already know, then everyone would be bitching that this is all "old news".

I'll agree that if we don't get a demo next week that I'd be bummed, but it is what it is. Until that point though, people need to chill. The conspiracy theories are just ridiculous, lol.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Demo NOT Coming Tomorrow

I still don't get why we never got a video showing all the new 430 Catching animations

My guess is that they probably think people will look to NCAA 13 to see those

Re: Madden NFL 13 Demo NOT Coming Tomorrow

I'm fine with that. I'm still playing NCAA anyway and without the infinity engine they should play the same... Right?

Re: Madden NFL 13 Demo NOT Coming Tomorrow

The lack of a demo so far is growing increasingly worrisome. Once again, I do not think the Madden team is very confident in their product this year. You would think with all the buzz and excitement they created for the Infinity Engine, they would be chomping at the bit to show gameplay videos and get the demo out.

They have done neither....


EDIT: If you follow NHL you can see how confident they are in their product. They release 5 minute long RAW gameplay videos showing specific changes to their gameplay. With Madden we get 30 second clips of a zoomed in view that is in more of a "sizzle trailer" format then showing real gameplay.

And...with NBA Live 13, well we've gotten a couple of screenshots.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Demo NOT Coming Tomorrow

Not really looking forward to the demo to be honest. They have said it is a VERY EARLY representation of the game so we might as well play the Madden 12 demo.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Demo NOT Coming Tomorrow

But it's coming out august 28th so shouldn't the demo be out tomorrow based on the last two years?

I just hope if we do have a demo that the demo plays out well.Im Wondering which teams would we be allowed to choose from (hopefully eagles are one of them lol).

I would think so seeing as they're only animations. As for throwing collisions into those animations, I have no idea.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Demo NOT Coming Tomorrow

Kinda disappointed but no big deal to me. I mean I never been blown away by a madden demo anyways that i can remember. It just a little tease anyways makes me want to play the whole game with all the bells and whistles which what a demo is intended to do. Its more of I just want to play a new nfl football game with the preseason starting up this week and the real season not far behind. I love this time of year! make me wait longer lol is so depressing when the season is over it goes to fast.
