Just as was promised a couple of weeks ago, EA Sports has released a demo for their upcoming title, Madden NFL 12, on to the Xbox LIVE Marketplace today.

Several new features from this year's edition of Madden will be available in the demo, including surprise onside kicks, revamped TV-style presentation, and improved tackling animations. The demo can be downloaded right here.

The full retail version of Madden NFL 12, which you can pre-order in either the regular or Hall of Fame edition, will be available on August 30th, 2011.

YES! I can finally now judge this game now for myself and maybe get a preorder going
Why does force updating take so long now? Before the server crash I maybe had to wait a minute but now it seems like it takes half a day. :(

Love the new tackling without the old suctioning woes. Played it this morning. Won as GB 19-14, missed two PATs haha. New kick meter takes a couple kicks to get used to.

The last good version of this game was Madden'06. For that I give this news a big ...meh.

How was 06 any better than the current releases? 06-10 were all pretty similar despite graphical updates and a couple change ups to gameplay. Maybe it's because the 1k takes a few hours of actually playing instead of just simming? laugh

Personally I like the progress they have made so far. Especially the update from 10 - 11. I'm downloading the demo right now and will be sure to come back and say if it was as entertaining as last year. Hopefully they keep Madden Moments this time around.
You seem a little furious...

Played it this morning, and was impressed at how the game felt. It's a fast paced compared to previous editions thanks to the new animation system, and the hits feel really authentic this time around. The downside so far is the passing game suffers a bit, but that just means I'll be playing it more to get around it. I'm just happy to finally play an NFL game that feels like you're right there in the middle of a real game of football. Hopefully the commentary is much improved, but I doubt it. Chris Colinsworth said a lot of stupid shit in 11.

Why is it that they keep updating the grass/turf in these games but the crowd in the background still looks like a bunch of cardboard cutouts?

My brother said he liked the graphics. If I can tear myself away from my new time suck, Battlefieldd Bad Co. 2, then i'll be playing the madden demo i'm sure.
Need co-op achievements in Vegas 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, Gears 2, Borderlands, and L4D.

not impressed with the demo... theres no talking at all so your basicly playing in silence, and you have to wait to walk up to the line after picking plays. kinda annoying
