EA Sports has revealed details on the upcoming demo for NHL 12. The demo will arrive for the Xbox 360 and PS3 on Tuesday August 23rd and feature three different modes to try out. The date puts the demo out three weeks in advance of the game which makes sense as the company would not have put it out on the same day (30th) that Madden NFL 12 releases.

Madden NFL 12 Demo Impressions
Having played Madden NFL 12 extensively at E3 (check out my full impressions here) the demo didn't offer a whole lot new - in fact it feels as though a step backwards has been taken.
