Madden demo is out

Just imagine if you could see some of the PM's sent to Ian or Phil.  $50 there was at least one death threat.

Correct me if I am wrong, sliders aside, can you not just simply avoid the Madden IQ stuff and just play on one of the four difficulties (could have sworn you could but not really interested in delving into the 100 page threads over at OS).


Edit:  Oops just noticed Derek asked the same thing.

No cpu sliders at all? That AI that adjusts to you better be spot-on.
Instead of actually getting better at the game, I'll be able to play a cpu that is gimping itself to make me feel better about my crummy skills. And if I still make terrible decisions, I can take a mulligan. This self-esteem stuff they teach in schools has trickled down to video games.

  That will be a fun thread.

It's sliders, thankfully not a big issue for me.

I can just see quote from EA CEO popping up...

"I don't think the investors give a sh*t about our quality," Riccitiello admitted during a lengthy interview with VentureBeat. "They care about our earnings per share. They wait for it to happen. We had three years where we didn't make our expectations. If I were an investor, I would wait and see. That's fine with me."

and

Chief amongst Riccitiello's - and by extension EA's - regrets is throwing down big development bucks on 360 and PS3 games instead of Wii titles.

...we typically [figure] out who the market leader [is] going to be before the start of the cycle and bet with our development resources on that platform. We made the wrong call there (by betting on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360), which made this transition harder than it would otherwise be.

Wii future...   Bill Abner takes down EA, one forum posts at a time.
