There is really no point in releasing a 4 minute demo, it's way to short to even get a feel for the game, especially in a sports game. This is a poor way to market your game and a bad way to treat your customers. Downloading a 1.2 gig demo so you have the ball for about 120 seconds total.....That's way to short plain and simple.

A good demo with a reasonable amount of playtime will sway me into buying a game or not. A 4 minute sports demo doesn't help either way. I good example great demos where found on the psx demos discs, and the main reason i bought a psx, back in the day.

IMO, you guys shouldn't even bother releasing the 4 minute demo. I've already tried one of these one minute demos in the past and it's so short it ruins any feel you try to get for the game. Is that what EA wants?

I dont get it, The purpose of a Demo is make people want to buy the game. I am going to buy the game regaurdless but only having 1 minute Quarters is not going to sell this game to prospective buyers.

The People at EA better wake up and smell the coffee because they are hurting themselves. I have seen EA do alot better job of creating betters games lately but their marketing has been awful lately. This is just another example, Give your fans 3 minute quarters.

Personally I do not see why it is not 5 minute quarters? Do they honestly think that by having 5 minute quarters in the game, some people will not buy it?

Probably going to preorder to get the GS demo, then cancel it a few days later.

So if I go pre order the game tomorrow (the 15th), will I get the code "on the spot" "then and there"? because tomorrow is the day for the codes right? Can someone clarify for me. I really don't want to go to game stop and pre order the game if I am forced to come back and get the code another day.

I don't think anyone knows what going on.

I won't be wasting my time downloading a four minute demo.

Any chance this extended demo will make it way to the UK?

EA never fails to disappoint us... either they are being over cautious or hyper greedy, to dole out 4 minutes of playing time lol. What are they afraid of I wonder?

# 188 swanlee @ 07/15/09 07:52 AM

So let's ask this for a 3rd time, is it to late to pre order the game online and get the demo code through email?

When i picked up NCAA yesterday I asked my Gamestop what they were doing with the codes. They said they weren't available in the store, but that they would be emailed out to those who pre-ordered. They didnt have my email addy so I gave it to them, but they said they didn't have the codes yet either.

FWIW

# 198 Tri-State Killa @ 07/15/09 10:37 AM

I just called my GameStop and the guy said he thinks that they were told they would have the codes on the July 23 for pick up.

# 199 FAM CEO @ 07/15/09 10:42 AM

How is this a Gamestop exclusive promotion, but Gamestop has no idea?

# 200 rkelly8811 @ 07/15/09 10:45 AM

I spoke with 2 local Gamestops and one said they hadn't shipped and the other said they didn't think they were supposed to get them until next week.
