You probably have a better chance winning the lotto than seeing that.

Good things I'm not banking on either

Wasn't there one last year though? (I know it doesn't mean anything about this year, but just wondering)

I really don't think it's a case of them resting on their laurels. It comes down to time and resources. Do you want less "new" content and a demo or more "new" content and no demo? And if people wanted a demo what new item would they want to see dropped?

Oh, I wasn't suggesting that at all. I agree that it takes time to make a demo and spend time checking it for bugs. As you say, probably the feature most suited for a demo besides the regular quick play would be a postseason game with the new presentation package. I was just saying that maybe they don't want to spill all the new enhancements to the postseason feel before release, and would rather spend it adding features (as I think they should).

That's a pretty terrible excuse, really.

You just like the angle that they really did not give a **** and did not feel like doing it. So go with that if it makes you feel better.

Yeah, that actually makes a TON more sense than "OMG IF WE DO A DEMO, WE CAN'T ADD "xxx" NEW FEATURE THIS YEAR!!! HOW DOES EVERY OTHER COMPANY AND EVEN US IN THE PAST DO IT!!!"

One example.... There was a 11th hour addition of the option to have the pitch speed in the score bug without the pitch callout on. That may have not made it in if they had made a demo.
