Madden 10 Demos Dated

Yesterday Gamestop sent out an email detailing the plans for the Madden 10 demo. The exclusive five minute quarters demo featuring the Cardinals vs Steelers will be available to download using the code obtained from Gamestop on Thursday July 23rd. Those codes will apparently be available in the stores on July 15th. They will be in limited supply so it would be a good idea to call the stores on that day and head in to get it before they’re all gone.

What wasn’t clear from the email was when the standard demo would be released. The two minute quarters demo with the Cowboys vs Giants will be available to everyone. I have confirmed this demo will go out on Thursday July 30th.

This is unfortunate news given that until now it had not been indicated that Gamestop preorders would be getting the demo early in addition to getting an extended version. As with Fight Night Round 4 this is an unfortunate turn of events for consumers and actually takes some steam out of the buzz created from the demo. NCAA Football 10 did not go this route and released the demo to everyone at the same time and reaction was generally positive with more concentrated discussion. The Gamestop incentive with that game is the additional 13 slots to hold Teambuilder created teams.

    It's just a game, can't EA release one demo to everyone and stop being such A-Holes?!

      You're right Joe…EA had good momentum going, game looks like, 4 me anyway, a back 2 back jack…I'm still playing 09 online, fan confidence is up, they've got everything going their way…and then someone releases "Stupid Gas" in the AC ducts …"EA Sports, we just gotta keep s%#t in the game"!

    Ian's Expose-Premiering June 30th..the game is in our hands now fraud, no more excuses about old builds, commercials, etc.

    • haha, yep. Same shit different year, but with 11 man tackling! Ya, lets have 11 man tackling instead of putting in the new animation engine which the lead animator wanted to do this year.

      Good job EA. haha I am going to have my pop corn read T.O style and enjoy Operation Sports meltdown. lol

        Bears at Packers SUNDAY NIGHT BABY! It'll be just like last time you stepped inside our house!

        • nah, it'll be like every time in Lovie's tenure before that fluke of a game. I guarantee it.

          Most likely closer to the 2006 opener

          you know, Favre's only home career shut-out? 😉

    If the upcoming demos included a practice mode…I would be excited about it. Because the thing I would want to work on is how to defense the "Wildcat" offense. Now, if you can play online against someone, oh yeah, I'll stand in line 4 a code, but I'm not gonna waste my time or gas to get a code to play an early build of Madden…I'll pass.

      don't get your hopes up
