In fact, I also recall Ian saying relax because they can patch it in at anytime, when this place was going crazy over no salary cap. So you can take what you want from it, but I took it as him telling us to relax because they can and will put it in later. Anyway, that's last year and not this year. It's old news. All I'm saying is I'm not falling for the banana in the tailpipe again. That's all.

Well yeah, what I meant when I said he would make a decision, is that it was based off the community's demand. If you don't believe that it will be added, that's fine. There's nothing wrong with that. I understand that you don't want to be "let down" again.

This should reduce cheesy money play's, ill only use it when I play people online with a ridiculous winning record. I like the feature.

Yeah, and then it even tells you that you're being scouted. The VIP was never available in the game, only before you played. I'm not sure I like that aspect of it, being able to call it up on a per play/situation basis. That's beyond realistic to me. Having that information available in real time makes it a little to easy for the person whose willing to pay $$$ to get access to the information all the time. The person who plays the game and tries to earn the coins will constantly be at a disadvantage.

Just curious, why do you guys think it will reduce cheese? It's not gonna make your defenders smarter if a play is ran over and over. I'm just curious as to why people keep saying it's gonna stop cheese. I'm being serious because I can't see how it would stop cheese.

Valdarez - Why would the person who plays the game to earn coins be at a disadvantage?

splff3000 - It should reduce cheese because people will know that if they cheese it's all on their record and people will avoid them. With that being said there will still be people who won't care and cheese anyways.

I guess it depends how many coins you earn per game. If you earn at least 25 coins per game, then it would be fine, as you could buy the scout all. Will the number of coins earned be the same as from MUT in M10? If so, then you're right, it wouldn't be a problem at all.

Umm, you can't scout your opponent until you start playing them so how can you avoid them? Oh and now you can't quit when you realize you're playing a cheeser because you won't get your coins if you do lol. I can definitely see how this can backfire.
