I think it would also depend on what kind of defense you use,if you constantly blitz the quarterback,he'll have too get rid of the ball quicker, so I think it's more to it than hoping they throw deep.If you want them the cpu to throw deep play a defense that will allow the cpu quarterback to throw deep,then you'll complain and say they only throw deep.

Last year everybody had time to throw deep but this year it won't be so easy. I've made 80 yard TD passes (in the ESPN demo) but 50 or 60 of it was RAC or YAC (depending on who you watch on tv).

Mrcabone you bring up a very good point that some people don't realize. If you set your defense to cover the deep pass or are about to blitz not giving then time to complete the play why should the CPU run the play? I know in the demo I audible out of my deep plays because the defense is either about to blitz or in a pass defense and my recievers look like they're goin to be double covered. I want the CPU to give me a good game not throw deep passes just to throw them. If my defense allows it and they take it I can live with that. If my defensive calling doesn't allow it and they try anyway I'll be upset.

yea online play does'nt matter to me either ! i'm into having a franchise /season against the cpu and long passes are part of the game that i hope has been corrected!

IMO..playing your friends and brothers is very fun, but if you want to really get great at this game online play is a must. Think of it as a talent pool. Do you want a 10 person talent pool or 1000 who may all have different styles?

10 person pool will do just fine thanks.

Seriously, playing online is a hassle for me, I'll only bother playing with people i can set up games with from here. The random play always left me too frustrated.

they stated that they will have an online feature where 8 prople can play in a game, but i hope that we can find people online. Last year it was scarce in the lobby.
