FIFA 12 Demo News: Looking to demo FIFA 12 for PS3, Xbox 360 or the PC? EA soccers the 2012 game to you ahead of the September 27 release date kick-off.

FIFA 12's release date hits in a week and a half, so EA is naturally ramping up the excitement with an official FIFA 12 on PS3, Xbox 360 and the PC. The 2012 demo, announced in Germany last month as part of Gamescom 2011, is available on PSN and Xbox Live right now. It's also ready for download on the PC through EA's new Origin store and this link: http://static.cdn.ea.com/fifa/u/f/fifa12_demo_install_na.zip.

By whatever means you download the FIFA 12 demo, you'll have access to six teams and be able to play a single soccer match. Of course, you can play it over and over again. But the real way to demo FIFA 12 and its career mode is to subscribe to EA Sports Season Ticket, which is a full-game advance service that is open to Xbox 360 and PS3 gamers... for a fee. Sorry, PC diehards.

This $24.99 a year EA Sports Season Ticket subscription gives you access to FIFA 12 three days before the September 27 release date. It's only available for those three days, but it's the full game and, in the end, you get a 20% discount on EA Sports DLC. This same deal covers other EA Sports franchises: FIFA Street, Tiger Woods PGA Tour, NCAA Football, Madden NFL and NHL. That's the proper way to demo FIFA 12.

Of course, the current FIFA 12 demo has its advantages. It's free and it's available right now.
