So...tonight Madden 11 received "some" sort of patch. No idea what it was (going to try and get some info from EA).
BUTafter said update...
I was DESTROYED by Tennessee. My 10 points? 7 were off a Joe Haden INT Touchdown.
This was with my custom slider set (see below posts)
Colt McCoy's stats?
12/31 98 yards 3 INT
Young was 15/30 203 yds 2 TS 1 INT
Johnson was a beast: 21 carries 120 yards
Harrison was a non factor (first time that has EVER happened in Madden 11) -- 45 yards for the game.
Whoa.
Now, if you have followed my games thus far you will see I never have been stoned like this by the AI defense. Granted this was with a heavy slider lean to the AI but...wow.
This was either a serious case of The Placebo Effect or that update did something to he DB AI because no one was open all game long.
