Demo for NFL Tour now available

stop asking when the 360 demo will come out. pasta has said over 10 times its coming next wednesday......

Still no demo for 360, hey pasta can you see whats up with ea tell them is the demo coming out before or after the game comes out?

It may be NFL Street dressed-up to some extent, but at least EA is doing something else with the NFL license.

However, I'd rather they release another Head Coach game. You really need to get into the sideline experience of coaching a game, not just the mid-week tasks.

On a side note ('cause I just can't help myself), why doesn't EA release a free playoff download for Madden that features the fun and accurate details of all the current playoff games?

Current rosters, playoff logos on the fields, and other features unique to the actual playoff games. All a button click away so we don't have to set up the games ourselves.

It can culminate with a Super Bowl feature that includes the stadium hosting the game in all its decked-out glory. Have fun with it!

Eghh, couldn't expect too much. This game does run slow for PS3, just want the demo for my 360, see how that runs. And have you guys noticed that EA in the interviews, tries to avoid saying NFL Street in any comparison. W/E

5/10

Because its not in EA's hands, Microsoft has done this plenty of times..It seems like the verification process for a demo is insane for MS.

The game comes out tuesday so that would be dumb to release a day after it comes out why can't they just release it today

Is there anyway you can contact EA and get official word on the 360 demo? I am sure it is on Microsofts end though.[/quote]

From what I've heard it was submitted to them but it didn't get cleared in time for this week's releases. I'd expect it next week at the regular time that MS puts out demos (Wed 2am PT). I dont think its big enough a release that they'd go off schedule for it. I'll ask around again on Monday.

Juking actually does work well when you're up against another person. The tendency is to over-pursue and there were times I juked against user controlled players (especially on returns) and it ended up paying off big. Against the CPU I can see how it may not seem that useful.

I just played it a couple minutes ago...

Well, I played on the rookie difficulty so it would be easy for me to play. I checked the controls out and they just seems very sloppy. Some buttons weren't even used, and it seemed really repetitive when I played. The only buttons I used in the game were X [Break Tackle] and R2 [Sprint]. It seems like Juking is just useless in the game, because half the time you can never juke anyone. I like the animations in the game, they were really fun to watch as LaDainian broke every tackle. The passing game seemed alright, but it just didn't seem very useful. I couldn't run on the ball for some reason, the player would fall down every time.

If you play NCAA or Madden all the time, it's going to be very hard to get used to the controls and gameplay. It's a good thing this game is twenty dollars cheaper, because I wouldn't of bought it.

I'd give it a 6/10, as long as you are into football.

Man by the time ea puts out the demo for the 360 it will be out already.

NFL Tour - 3, 4, 3.5 ShameOTM

The Good: The reversal system
The Bad: Where's the D?
PS3 version runs considerably slower

Well thats dumb they release it for ps3 and not for the 360.

I played this demo, and the game is bad lol. The game is even more simple than NFL Street and it's terrible. I had some anticipation as the game seemed like a decent idea, taking the ridiculous "street" element out and making the game more like Madden (hot routes, more plays, and more strategy with arcade controls) seemed like a good idea, but whiff! No wonder the game will only be $40....

By the way, keep up the good work Pasta, I check this site daily!

I gotta say, game wasn't on my radar, now I'm eargerly anticipating it.

Well its possible but I would doubt it. Generally 360 demos are released in the early morning hours of Wednesdays.

thats whack its on ps3 and not 360...you dont think it will be on 360 later today?
