CONFIRMED: No Madden NFL 15 Demo

I know guys are eager to play the game itself, whether it'd be the demo or retail, but if a person has doubts, there will be plenty of streams and youtube vids showcasing every aspect of the game. For example, there will be people broadcasting only CFM, online head to head, MUT, etc.

There will be plenty to see really soon even if you don't buy the game.

In my situation, I still have Season Ticket on ps3 so I'll play that as much as possible, and if it warrants an upgrade for my ps4, then so be it.

Re: 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

This is spot on. With the dev team having a shorter cycle this year and then putting 100% of their efforts into the full game, I call it a win. Why waste valuable development time or resources on a demo that gets played massively for a week and then hears crickets for the next year..?

If ya'll are skipping this years Madden based off of no demo, or not being able to play before you buy... then shout at one of your friends, go play the game and make your judgment then, or hell, just hop on twitch or read some reviews. Not buying a game based off no demo or not being able to play before you buy seems a bit harsh to me.

Be careful. I wouldn't compare last gen to next gen by any means.

Re: CONFIRMED: No Madden NFL 15 Demo

I wanted a demo just like everyone else, but I think it's silly if you are skipping Madden 15 because there is no demo. Madden demos were usually not close to being final build, so you never got a great representation of what was fixed by release date. Why don't you just rent the game when it releases, you get to try the full game instead of an alpha build demo and then you can make an educated buying decision.

They also had a full DEV cycle. This is the first next gen NHL game.

Just saying

Ok, let's not get too far into NHL, this is a Madden forum.

I know. I'm just trying to get some humor going around here. It's not that serious, at the end of the day, it's just a video game. We all get that itch this time of year and want to play it ASAP. I was VERY disappointed with the game last year but like what I see. I plan to pick it up either way.

10 days and change until the digital pre orders can pre download. (Then a day and a half after THAT and we play).

Some of these people (not calling out anyone specifically) are the usual "EA is the Devil" crowd you get this time of year on all sites like this. Take some of these comments with a grain of salt.

Garbage. I will definitely be waiting a couple weeks before pulling the trigger on this. With Destiny coming out a couple weeks later and many other good games on the horizon I don't need to splash $60 on a game that they are afraid to put out as a demo.

They're not afraid to put it out as a demo. They even said no demo in order to focus solely on making the FINAL product as good as it can be. They're not wasting time and resources on a trial run this time around. This is a GOOD thing.

That sounds a lot like a PR statement. If they aren't going to do a demo, this is exactly what I would expect them to say.

Yes, but it's a good thing. Focusing on making a better more polished retail product. WHY does it seem like more and more people here just want to bash EA just because. Damn, just give the game a chance before bashing it. (To me it makes NO sense to every year bash the game BEFORE it releases). yes, they dont have the greatest track record, but still. Makes no sense to put something down before it's given it's chance.
