Madden NFL 25 Demo now available for Xbox 360 and PS3

Are you ready for some football? EA hopes so, since they’ve released the demo for Madden NFL 25 today on both Xbox Live (for Gold only) and PSN. Silver Xbox Live users will have to wait until next week for their pigskin, gridiron action.

This demo includes the option to check out the new precision modifier tutorial in the Skills menu option. This allows fans the opportunity to check out some of the new ball-carrier moves available this year, and refine both their passing and running game prior to release.

If you’d rather just hop in and play a game, you can do that too. Featured in the demo is the Superbowl match-up from last year featuring the San Francisco 49ers and the Ravens, or you can opt to play a game with either the Seattle Seahawks or Green Bay Packers. The games are limited to five minute quarters here, but this should give players a decent taste of what to expect out of the new Infinity Engine 2 and Force Impact System.

Check out the full press release from EA below, and start prepping those download queues on the system of your choice.
