I made a similar point on this thread and got called an uninformed,complaining,EA basher.LOL

It's funny how people change hats when the same thing is said but by a different person or when the tide of opinion shifts.Shows a lack of principles and/or intergrity,IMO.I guess that's just some peoples' M.O.,oh well.

I'm not sure if you're talking about me or someone else but I never changed my stance on the "having to earn it" aspect. I think it's part of what EA intended and how it should be.

I hope they don't charge for roster updates or something that was a given in years past. Extra content like scouting = good. Charging for standard content = bad.

How it should be? You should have to earn the right to scout your opponent? Even though teams on all levels of football scout their opponents in real life, you're saying, because EA makes you earn it, that's how it should be. Is that what you're saying? I want to be absolutely positively sure that's what you mean before I go into my next rant.

Your right. After thinking about it, why should you have to "pay" through money or coins to see what another persons tendencies are. They should just give them to you, no matter what. Just because someone plays more than I do, or is richer than I am, doesn't mean they should reap the benefits of such a simple but useful thing as scouting reports.

This part is just as funny and makes a much sense now as it did the first time you posted it,IMO.Like I stated in an earlier post,"having to earn it" in the way they currently have it setup doesnt logically accomplish any goal but potential profits for EA,IMO.If something other than potential profit is "part of what EA intended" to happen,which I seriously doubt when it doesnt make logical sense,then this is not "how it should be",IMO.

By all means though,dont let a little thing like logic cloud your clear and unbiased vision sir.LOL

I seem to recall some mention of days made better by demonizing uninformed opinions,hmmmmm........maybe some truth to that.LOL

l understand what you're saying, but from my perspective, Madden needs a system in which you "earn" something. Some sort of incentive to play online, like earning achievement points on Xbox Live or leveling up in Call of Duty to unlock new weapons. The biggest difference is EA Sports gave the option of paying for it with real money and this feature of course is an essential part of real football. I just like the "earning" part IMO, simply because it adds to the replay value and helps people strategically play against others, which Madden has always sorely lacked. I hope that there are other things to earn as well.
