Anyone play the Madden 11 demo yet?  Just read that it came out today.

Madden 11, super easy so far this year.... I bet there going change alot first patch, there is a alot of holes in it from what i'v seen so far.............. 

[cleeve]

Yeah, my god.. Only played on All-Pro so far but you can throw the deep ball like it's nobodies business.

I posted my thoughts in the game thread, but yeah it n00bish

Yeah, I have also found the deep ball crazy easy to throw in this game. I always have at least 2 deep TDs with Santonio.

I'm still trying to figure out what exactly they changed with the right stick because I'm not breaking as many tackles as I feel I should be.

All-Pro is way too easy, but I have been having a lot of trouble on All Madden. The All Madden defense is easy to exploit passing the ball because of the deep ball, but I found it decent against the run. The AI All Madden offense has been giving me fits though. Peyton completes everything it seems like and I haven't been able to hold Addai to less than 5 yards on almost every carry and he usually breaks a few tackles every time too. What strategies have been working for people on defense on All Madden?

Im getting sacked a lot. Any tips on that?

Also I do get lots of 1v1 covs with CPU blitzing, any tips on throwing the deep ball?

I havnt played Madden in years

The way it works for me is that I first read where the safeties are in the play. If they're playing deep over the middle, then I always hot route one of my outside receivers to a fade route and give the other a streak route. The key then becomes when you hike the ball watching where the pressure is coming from and checking the coverage on your streaking receivers.

If it looks like they are in front of them, then in this game I just throw either a straight up deep lob or at the very least a half bullet to get over the hands of the corner.  I've found it works easiest in the demo using the jets and throwing to Santonio Holmes because of his speed and spectacular catch rating.

That's just my method so far. I'm sure others have their own methods.

I don't know how to change the poll thing at the top, but maybe somebody should start a new one asking what difficulty we should play our online franchise on.

I only ask because I know we have quite the mix of recent Madden vets and some people who are new. If we can't form a poll, then everybody just post what difficulty you feel most comfortable playing on.
