Evidently someone from Operationsports said that Beluba said "The demo should be up for download by the 2nd week of september"

Our buddy Marcus, the EA community rep, has said that

Let's just say it'll be different from the traditional demo

So there ya go

wow I can't wait for this!

This will be interesting. At least its something to look forward during the first day of school.

If that goes as planned, it should be on the 11th for the Playstation 3 (Same as FIFA 09).
Definitely looking forward to playing them both.

Anyone care to venture a guess as to what he means by "different from the traditional demo"?
Seems like starting in the NBA Academy and the re-playing the NBA Finals with the ratings from that game is the obvious choice, but since he makes it out to be something very different, I have no idea what to think.. OTP perhaps?

It won't be playable. CPU vs CPU only.

OTP would be too intelligent, unless they shut the demo's server down when the game comes out.

My guess is the Academy with a 2 minute quarter first half with the celtics/lakers.

They could go all out and have the EA sports world support & online since they did it / have it with skate.

Why are you so pessimistic

by **benji** on Fri Aug 29, 2008 7:51 am

Because you touch yourself at night.

I could see 2k9 doing that with their game this year lol

If it is any similar to Madden 09's demo then the action will kick off during one of the finals games.

Benji might be on the right track though. A "traditional" demo is basically a playable, but limited portion of the game. Since it won't be traditional, it could be more of a demonstration, rather then a playable demo. Hence, CPU vs CPU. Or just some video that will end up being posted online anyway.

Didn't the Madden 09 demo also include a tutorial that you played through before being able to sample the gameplay? Perhaps they'll be doing something similar with the NBA Academy drills and then move into a couple of quarters of a Lakers/Celtics game in a way that also highlights Player DNA.

by **Patr1ck** on Fri Aug 29, 2008 4:49 pm

Yeah, the tutorial was basically a set of drills that set(or was supposed to set) the CPU difficulty for different aspects of the game based on your performance.

I hope they don't exit the demo once the game is done. I played the madden demo straight for an hour and a half and thought it was fun. . .styll didn't buy ot tho. heard so much is wrong with that game

Sounds like something they could do with Live 09 as well.

Yeah, it is. . I might get it soon, but I won't be playing it when I get NHL 09 or NBA Live 09, even NBA 2k9 lol

When would the demo for the ps3 come out?

YouTube · by **ThaLiveKing** on Fri Sep 05, 2008 1:26 pm

Keep checking cause EA doesn;t seem to be telling anyone about the demo

by **The X** on Fri Sep 05, 2008 8:08 pm

you guys will have to let me know how it plays since my PS3 has the red blinking light of death....

by **cro_2pac** on Fri Sep 05, 2008 9:59 pm

I think that the demo will come Monday or Sunday look at NFL 09 demo it was 1st AUGUST and that was Monday

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Fri Sep 05, 2008 11:02 pm

I'd say next Thursday is more likely but I guess you never know.

by **ps3owner** on Sat Sep 06, 2008 1:49 am

cant wait for the ps3 demo to come out.

by **ps3owner** on Fri Sep 12, 2008 5:05 am

we'll lets wait till the weekend i hope it comes out.

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Fri Sep 12, 2008 8:34 am

As I understand it, new content comes out on a Thursday the same as Xbox Live so it might not come out until next week now.
