The highly anticipated Madden NFL 12 demo is available through Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network beginning today. The demo features a rematch of the 2011 NFC Championship match-up between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Fans will have access to play five minute quarters, select from four difficulty levels and the option of using Conventional or GameFlow playcalling. In addition, the demo will give players a taste of innovative new features, such as Dynamic Player Performance – which replicates each player’s traits and tendencies, as they rise and fall, based on their on-field performance during a game. Rosters in the demo will represent those prior to the free agency period, but a full downloadable roster update that reflects all recent player changes will be available in the final, retail version of Madden NFL 12 when it launches on August 30th.
