I have been playing madden online since 2004 and Im usually ranked in the top 1k. I rarely change my strategy and the fact is it doesn't really matter if people know where the ball is going if they can't stop it. As far as paying for scouting reports it's not going to happen for me. Ill get the free ones for beating people who can't keep up and on the rare chance I play someone who isn't total garbage maybe I'll redeem them. Truth is unless you really know your defense the information really wont do you that much good. The gameplay of the 2011 is a lot better though especially the defense and redzone passing. Blitzing is much more effective as a whole yet they managed to take away true nano's which the old school guys like me used to exploit. I would say they have somehow managed to make significant improvements to online play each year and this is the best yet. I mean sounds kind of pointless to me.

If you pass the the TE on every first down, then in the second half of a blowout, just come out and run HB tosses. I think this is probably one of those ideas that sounds great in June, but when it comes down to playing the game, nobody will care. It's just like how everybody gets excited about halftime reports and post-game shows, but then 2 weeks into playing the game, they can't skip the screen fast enough.
