Madden 09 Demo Coming August 1st
by 
The demo for Madden 09 will hit XBL and PSN on Friday August 1st. If you just can’t wait until August 1st the same demo (only for the Xbox 360) is available with the purchase of an NFL DVD that releases tomorrow the 22nd.
This will not be a typical demo. Instead of traditional gameplay with reduced quarter length it will feature time in the virtual trainer and then head into one of the “Madden Moments”, this one from the Super Bowl. Only the offensive team will be controlled (in this case the Giants seem likely). Commentary has been excluded due to demo size limitations.
The Madden NFL 09 Demo showcases some of the new and exciting features in Madden NFL 09. The demo begins with the user being loaded into the all new Virtual Trainer to begin the Madden Test. The Madden Test is a Madden aptitude test of sorts, that is used to assess your Madden IQ, which drives the users custom difficulty and play settings. The Madden Test consists of 4 core game play mechanics: Passing, Rushing, Pass Defense, and Rush Defense. Gamers will be taken through the entirety of the Madden test and then given their final Madden IQ.
Once the Madden Test is completed and with the your Madden IQ decided, gamers are then brought into yet another all new feature, Madden Moments. Madden Moments allows for users to replay a team’s key moment from the 2007 season. Upon entry into this mode, you’ll see a brief overview of the moment, which is the Giants final Super Bowl-winning drive. With about 2 minutes to go, you will take over the reins of Eli and the Giants and begin their march to victory. Once the moment has been completed, users will be allowed to restart the moment as many times as they want.

Hey Pasta, just so you know the demo in the DVD and the demo for download on the 1st are not the same. The DVD demo is from an April build, while the downloadable dame is from a near final build.

Haha..I bet you felt tough after you said that huh? You probably said to yourself “Yea I told him!” You guys are pathetic..And nobody said I was rich I said that I don’t mind spending $20 dollars buying a dvd. Does that mean I’m rich? Wow you guys are somethin else I tell ya. Buy the way genious, I’m not arguing with anyone. I started out asking where I could buy the dvd at and some guys called us losers for wanting to get it. Hope that clears it up for you internet tough guy.

It’s funny how you’re getting all worked up over this. If something as small as this gets under your skin then you have issues bro. You probably go to different sites making fun of people on your spare time. I hope you insulting people on a video game web site makes you feel good about yourself. For you’re information my job allows me to browse the web between time so that’s why I have time to do it. I’m actually 26 years old, 6′1, weigh about 190. Anything else you want to know tough guy. Anyways have fun surfing the web insulting people, you sound like you’re about 12 years old so there’s really no need to keep going back and forth with you. Sounds like you’re the one who needs to get a life.

“Some have guessed correctly but I’ll state it officially. EA doesn’t see a dime from the purchase of this DVD. This isn’t a case of corporate greed as some want to speculate. Just a way to get our demo into the hands of folks that might not see it otherwise.
Microsoft developed new technology this year that allows game demos to be included on non-360 gaming media. This means that for the first time ever, you can put a demo on a standard DVD (if they have the room).
You’ll see this tech in use more in the coming weeks/months. We’ll also be providing a FREE version very soon.
Phil
PS – The DVD demos had to be done way back in April because of lead times. While they will give a nice taste of the game, the code is far from final.”
Thats the quote from Phil Frazier in the operation sports forums proving that the dvd demo is from an April build of Madden
July 23, 2008 at 12:37 pm
The demos to be released early August are from a near-final build of the game.
So I cannot wait till Aug 1st for the near final version of the demo since the DVD demo left a bad taste in my mouth Ya digg
July 23, 2008 at 12:50 pm
I’d prefer the normal 2 min quarter demo, but it is what it is, so I’m looking forward to it. I should have it tomorrow. They should all the teams be available at first, but when you choose the two teams and enter the game, those two teams are locked and become your two teams for the demo. This way everyone could have the matchup they like the most.
July 23, 2008 at 2:33 pm
this is horrible i bout the dvd the demo sucks its just bad u get to play 1:23 seconds of the superbowl! And the madden IQ test is ridiculous!
July 24, 2008 at 1:43 pm
I’m gonna wait till the 1st to download this
all of you laptop tough guys get a life.
BTW, NCAA 09 rules. All you who says its bad need to realize the game is FUN and not a SIM.
July 25, 2008 at 1:44 pm

July 26, 2008 at 9:00 am
the movie is pretty cool if you like nfl films stuff. the demo is shit though in my opinion. you can not play defense i played the virtual reality gay shit. i got rated a rookie when my online madden record was around 140-40. on the first play of the situational shit. i scored on my first play….ea …..i dont know what to think i just hope the real thing is better than this rubbish
July 26, 2008 at 9:00 am
