Ok just got done playing the demo and it still is short and pathetic in terms of what you can do...

But.....

The demo is much better then the dvd crap I played last week...

Right of the bat you can tell a huge difference..

The WIP icon is not on the new demo and the flash bulbs are in the new demo and the graphics are better on the demo...

The smoothness of every play is much much much better on the demo

You can see the names of the players when you zoom out on the camera which you could not on the old demo and you can see the weapons icons on the new demo

the i.q test is much easier on the new demo and on passing plays you get better routes then the old demo

also it keeps track of each thing you do on a chart in the top left of the demo during the i.q quiz which you did not get on the old demo

Mr. Madden himself is the one tellin you what you must do in the test which was not the case in the old demo..it was a couple of producers from the game

One bad thing about the new demo is that you get only 1 time out and the old demo you get all 3

the preplay chart is available in the new demo and it was not in the old demo

You can change the zoom for lead block in the new demo along with the sound settings...you could not in the old demo

the washed out glare in the old demo is not part of the new demo and it makes the game look much much better..

very excited about the game after playing the new demo...sucks what we got in terms of content but it is much better to say the least..

Next Friday cant come fast enough.

This worked with the DVD demo so I'm guessing it will with this one also. Also with 1:40 on the clock and 3 time outs you have much more then one play. I played the DVD demo non stop for 2 hours so don't be worried that the demo is short, you can keep playing over and over to try different formations and plays. I'm at 55% now with the newer demo, if I notice any differences I'll post them. Sorry I was incorrect, this demo only gives you one time out. The DVD demo gave you 3.

this demo is much better then the dvd version i played but what sucks is that you get only 1 time out in the new demo and the dvd one you get 3

My thoughts are I can't wait to try it after I get home from work.

I wasn't up early because of the demo, I actually had to be at work at 4am today...ugh.

Its on Xbox Live right now; however I thought I read it will be on PSN later today

Microsoft always finds a way to show-up Sony.

lol

MS wasn't supposed to release it until Friday. Then they found out Sony was going to release it today, so they turned around and put it on the Marketplace this morning.

Too bad EA owns the NFL license - I think competition from other NFL video games would do them some good.

Competition is always a good thing IMO. It keeps people on their toes.

Is not like I am going to cry bro...I played the dvd demo and it sucks compared to this demo...Which we knew because the dvd version was from way back..but it gave you 3 times out to stop the clock and get some more plays in..

the new demo gives you 1 time out...but is still a better demo and it shows how good this game is going to be..
