"Madden" fans have had a pretty intense few months. In addition to waiting to see whether the NFL season would actually happen, this year's edition of the game is coming a bit later than usual, hitting stores on August 30. To help make the wait a little more managable, EA has released a demo for "Madden NFL 12," which is available on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live today.

Madden NFL 12

Despite the increasingly worrying chances that there may be a shortened or non-existent football season this year, EA Sports is, of course, still plowing ahead with a new "Madden" game. For those of you who don't purchase each annual installment on blind faith and/or a desire for updated rosters, you should know that there are some gameplay additions to "Madden NFL 12." The biggest one by far is something called Dynamic Player Performance.

Madden NFL 12

Last year, EA decided to hand over the "Madden" cover athlete decision to the fans. The end result was the pretty obvious choice of Drew Brees, who had won Super Bowl XLIV with the New Orleans Saints earlier in the year. The fan decision didn't come until the choices were narrowed down to just three players (Drew Brees, Reggie Wayne and Jared Allen), but this year things are starting up a bit earlier. EA is holding a bracket-style competition with ESPN, pitting 32 players against each other for the top honors of helming "Madden NFL 12."

Madden NFL Footbal 3DS

EA appeared on Nintendo's list of third-party 3DS developers at E3 2010, and EA Sports intends to bring out their big franchise guns alongside Konami's "Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater" and Capcom's "Street Fighter 4" next year. With the 3DS not coming to America until March, "Madden NFL Football" won't be out in time for the Super Bowl, but EA has tagged it for the first half of 2011, so it should still be out before 2011 pre-season play begins.

Grills are on. It's warm. Browns fans are hopeful. The NFL pre-season is beginning, and a new version of "Madden" is releasing soon.

"Madden 11" isn't a dramatic departure from last year's game. Like every other "Madden," this year's title builds on the foundation of its predecessor, making use of the series' gentle slide to a more authentic, more visceral NFL-like experience.

Drew Brees

Just two weeks after announcing cover model Tim Tebow for "NCAA Football 11," EA Sports has officially bestowed the same honor for "Madden 11" on New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees. Brees beat out Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen and Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne in fan voting to nab the accolade. Lucky for him, too, because he already has a a Super Bowl ring and Super Bowl MVP distinction behind him, so there's very little chance that the much-feared curse associated with Madden covers can do to him.

Madden NFL 11

The above shot was taken from "Madden NFL 11" and features LaDainian Tomlinson in his brand new digs as one of the New York Jets. While his 2009 stats weren't exactly all-star level, he's certainly looking spry in the game.

Ian Cummings, the Creative Director of the game, posted the shot on his TwitPic account, with the following caption:

“Madden” is intimidating. No two ways about it. It has a great reputation, for sure. High Metacritic scores year in and year out alongside annual mutli-platinum sales in the US alone, no other game franchise in the world commands the same level of respect over so many different releases. Not even “Tetris”. But it also has a reputation for being unforgiving, with complex controls, demanding AI, convoluted game modes, and an increasingly exclusive multiplayer community. It’s also seen by the gaming community as a series slow to change.
