Now that the NFL season is safe and secure, we're allowed to get excited about football again. If you just can't wait for the season to start, or to engage in the annual tradition of buying another Madden game, you'll be pleased to know that a demo is coming to Xbox Live and PlayStation Network on August 9.
That's three full weeks before its official release on August 30 for PS3, 360, Wii, PSP, and, yes, PS2.
With the NFL season saved, EA Sports' announcement of the "online communities" feature in Madden 12 matters a little more than it would have a day before. The press release introduces communities as, "a response to massive fan feedback requesting the ability to play online without having to worry about cheaters, quitters, or gamers that don't play by the same rules." I'm not sure it completely addresses those concerns so much as provides another way to create a safe haven for likeminded players to avoid them. Either way, it sounds like a nice addition to the game for helping friends get together to play online.
"Ha! Minus fucking Olsen! Way to go Bears! Trade your best TE... Morons! Oh yeah, Madden.. BLAH! "
