Madden Demo to Feature 1 MINUTE Quarters

[dave]

It seemed like they were on the right track but now after hearing this i don't know. making a demo this short makes it seems like they're hiding something. this year is a make or break year for them. i predict that between the release of 10 and 11 the monopoly suit(s) will be cleared up too.

Witness - I was one of the Community Event attendees.

Trust me, they're not hiding anything.

I am not trying to kiss their asses or anything, I've been there once, I don't care if they invite me back.

But they're not hiding anything.

This is just another stupid corporate decision that has nothing to do with the game or its developers.

[dave]

as u say stupid corporate decsions. i havent played the game, i am just an onlooker. and my opinion of the final game will probably be different than yours. and my opinion of the CD build would probably have been different than yours.

Judging by your posts, they could hand you Jessica Alba naked and available and you'd still complain.

As long as theres no game killing bugs with rosters, sliders, online franchise, or anything like that, I cant see what would kill it for me.

They cant hide much. Theres still gonna be that full game demo. I'll just go about getting it differently.

[dave]

and if it has nothing to do with the developers why the fuck is cummings defending it. or is he just as stupid as the guys in the suits.

Do you have a job?

Do you answer to bosses?

The last time I checked, employees didn't bash their bosses ... unless they wanted to play an accordion with a monkey on their shoulders on a downtown street while holding a change dish.

Well I've put my trust into the CD guys to a level where I can say, "Ok I believe you."

I still sometimes wonder if Ian and the team tell you guys to hold your tongue on subjects.

[dave]

then he shouldnt comment on the move. he makes it sound as if hes in favor of the demo. and no i do not have a job atm. (am looking but the economy sucks) the last job i had, i was completely honest with my boss as he was with me. it made him a better boss and me a better employee.

No offence, but it clearly it didn't make you a better employee. You don't have a job.

That said, good luck buddy. I want everyone on the planet to have a job. Seriously.

[Point Blank]

That's retarded..

[dave]

That's retarded..

As usual, I agree with PBâ„¢, there is no justification for a four-minute demo.

[Derrville]

Damn this sucks, Even tho i pre ordered somewhere else, it looks like im gonna have to pre order at gamestop than cancel too.

[AJay]

Ehh Whatever. Regardless if I had the one min quarter demo, the gamestop demo or no demo at all. I'd still buy the game based on the info they have released to us already.

IMO there are two types of people who play demos, those who have already decided to buy the game and those who are on the fence. Those who have already decided, just want to say they are playing Madden. Those who are on the fence take time to see if the game itself is worth their $. Ian says he doesn't want people to get too much and not want to buy the whole product, but can't they have the person dl it and it no longer work after so many days (ie 2wks after initial dl).

I remember them doing it for the community games on Xbox Live (i'm sure PS3 could find a way). This would give people what they want....a full game and EA wouldn't lose any potential sales (supposedly). They have "smart" people at EA....I'm sure they could make it happen.
