Madden 09 Demo Coming August 1st

Posted July 21st, 2008 at 7:42 pm

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.

[quote comment="29744"][quote comment="29738"]user catches seem to only work when you are not holding turbo while attempting to catch it;and if you try to square up to the ball to user catch it wont work for some reason[/quote]

This was a problem in Madden last year. If you were playing FS and using the turbo button to cover WRs, you can’t hit triangle to jump and intercept the ball. It doesn’t register the button press while using turbo. Sigh…..

[quote comment="29742"]Just through it to Amani Toomer on a comeback route and he pulled off the David Tyree catch from the Super Bowl;it was pretty sweet[/quote]

Awesome!!! I can’t wait to see this once in a lifetime catch happen in every game multiple times and probably be used to cheat, since I’m guessing that if the WR goes into that animation, he won’t drop the ball.

Can you make that catch happen everytime by running a comeback route and throwing the ball high (leading it over the WRs head?)[/quote]
I take that back about squaring up to the ball and not being able to catch;I finally pulled it off its all about timing
Oh and the David Tyree catch happened only once so far and I ve throwing comeback routes a lot, so no it wont go into that animation everytime you throw and catch a comeback route

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.

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

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

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.
