CONFIRMED: No Madden NFL 15 Demo

Re: CONFIRMED: No Madden NFL 15 Demo

For everybody saying rent.

I don't want to spend money to find out if I'll like something or not. Doesn't make sense to me.

Also, the things I want to find out about Madden I can't in the two days of renting before having to return it.

For that matter, the Madden Demo's didn't tell me what I wanted to know either (franchise stuff, simmed stats, long term game balance, team ai logic for trading, roster management, etc).

So the demo doesn't do me much good either. That's why I value OS so much. To get info from OSers that I trust who have the game. This site tells me much more about the game (after release) than any EA demo ever did. Frankly, info about the game, and giving my opinions about where I want the game to go (knowing devs do read these posts and Madden is my only choice) is the only reason I come to OS.

OS is what really makes me decide whether to spend the 60 or not. It really is a valuable resource.

I don't disagree with you at all Bucky, and I think you and are on the same page because I feel the same way about demo's as you do.

My only point, and the only reason I keep bringing it up is that if a user isn't willing to do due diligence whether that be using OS, reviews, or renting, would you not disagree that they have no ground to stand on by complaining about no demo?

Re: CONFIRMED: No Madden NFL 15 Demo

While this sucks. I didn't get madden for the first time last year has madden has sucked ever sences ps3 gen started and so I am never getting a madden game again with out getting to play it first no matter what because ever year madden sounds like it is going to be good but ever year certain things get worse or just don't turn out has good has it soundes. I just don't trust that madden is going to be good but I would still like to try the game. Some people said rent the game but with places like blockbuster closing how are you supposed to do that? I have yet to see a red box that even has ps4 games. All the red boxes I have seen only have xbox 360, ps3 games and wii u games no ps4 games.

Re: CONFIRMED: No Madden NFL 15 Demo

For everyone who doesn't want to rent and really wants to try out the gameplay without spending money there is a very simple solution. Head down to your local Gamestop or Bestbuy, they almost always have a few consoles set up with Madden in the store right after launch for anyone to play.

Redbox just started adding current gen games earlier this year in test markets. There has been nothing official but rumors say they will be nationwide by the end of the year. Have you looked into Gamefly? They are currently running a 30 day free trial and are pretty good with shipping on release dates.

The only problem is renting options are slim
Blockbuster gone and Redbox does not get new games right away nor carry ps4 or xbox one. ea knows this so no need to offer demo no competition .

I am a old time gamer owned every Madden every year been playing games since Atari 5200. I will not buy there game this year. there graphics are crap compaired to what they should be and they only cyber scanned the new rookies, they do not attempt to get everyone's face in or correct. we should all play the how big of a file is the game going to be like you guess babies weight i am going with 17gb.

Anyone look at the screenshot of Calvin Johnson it is not him at all
how do you not give a cyberface to the greatest receiver in the game.
or try to pass off the same crappy scan from last years game.
this company is famous for adding features only to drop all together the very next cycle they do not build from what they built they scrape it then start over the game will always be blah and the people who do buy it will trade it in after a month like so many do

Because no matter what players have for ratings or skills each and every team in the game will play the same. you will get one half were the cpu is good and one half were they suck. you will play 16-0 teams and kill them and play 0-16 teams and loose badly. the kicking meter will be azz backwards for wind direction,

the game will not call any penalties stamina & Substitutions will work in exhibition mode but not in franchise cause they never test there product
and by the end of there updates the game will play like a coin operated arcade game.

Just my Two cents I think i earned it

Re: CONFIRMED: No Madden NFL 15 Demo

So since every other EA Sports title will have a demo, no Madden demo means that EA themselves must think that this year's Madden is not very good.

Re: CONFIRMED: No Madden NFL 15 Demo

This doesn't bother me at all. Every time I've have played a Maden demo it has always been an earlier build of the game, was always stripped down , and never played the way the final release day product played. No demo , no biggie.

It's very simple:

No Demo=No Cabbage/Moola/Scratch



end.

[dayo480]

I am extremly disappointed that there won't be a demo.. But from what I have read about what EA has said why there will be no demo it seems fair. "We put 100% of our resources into the final build." They (EA) have been extremely shady in the past, mostly all last gen, so I most definatly have STRONG doubts about them. But the biggest thing now is how quickly they patch whatever glitches/bugs pop up (and they will). I am also curious when EA will allow the reviews to be released, August 22nd? Or will they have a hold until the game is released like with M25? Well with my PS4 I have no choice but to sit back and wait until release day.

I fail to see how not releasing a demo equates to company not having faith in their own product.

Plenty of games don't have demos but turn out to be pretty darn good. And on the other side of the coin, there are demos for games and the game turns out to be pretty bad.

"highest quality game" better come with some ridiculously good AI. I don't care about window dressing

Re: CONFIRMED: No Madden NFL 15 Demo

yeah, I think I'm skipping Madden this year. I'm done with EA, perhaps I'll rent it, but no way I'm dropping the cash unless I play the game first.

CONFIRMED: No Madden NFL 15 Demo

This is just getting silly with some of you. It's a demo! It's not like we haven't seen much gameplay. EA has shown us more gameplay than ever. It's got nothing to do with how they feel about the game. If they didn't feel good about the game why show so much live gameplay?

Did it ever dawn on anyone that it might just be the short DEV cycle? Why waist time on a crappy demo when you have less time than usual?

I would have liked a demo too but, goodness. It's Madden silly season that's for sure. I think I'm just going to avoid these kind of threads for a while. Lol

Re: CONFIRMED: No Madden NFL 15 Demo

Guys don't give up. There will be plenty of feedback from the community.

If that's not good enough, there is an option to play it next week, via the EA Access service.

It's a pretty sweet deal too.
