Agreed. Love the idea, hate the idea of EA charging extra money to play them.

U can earn the coins with game play, just like back in the day with the Madden Card feature. What EA is doing with charging for those who are too impatient to earn them on their own is called smart business. U DON'T have to buy them.

But you can only earn the coins from playing online. For people that prefer playing offline, you have to shell out the extra to get the MM Live.

I'd be Ok with it if a) you could earn the 'coins' from offline games as well, like Franchise, exhibition. or b) the MM Live were just an add on and not extra cost. EA introduces a nice feature, but shoots itself in the foot by making people pay to use something that most feel should be a given.

Like the idea of having the moments available in real time. Reminds me of the NBA 2K10 ability to play real games based on how the people performed. However, I don't like the idea of having to pay for it, but then I'll probably never use it myself. Very few moments that I want to replay myself, with this being the top one for me - 1994 NFC Championship Game.

I actually thought that this was a pretty damn good idea... until I saw that it costs you coins. Wow.. Yeah, I pre-ordered my game so I get 20k coins.. but that's ridiculous.. You get to play games online to get coins.. and use those coins to play a Madden Moment that takes you 5 minutes to complete.. Most of the time they are easy.. Also, you don't have to fit the requirements to the exact amount.. There was one where you have to go for it on 4th down and make it.. well I failed but somehow made it.

I'm not a fan of their temporary virtual economy as they try to migrate us towards an online/monthly/microtransaction pay as you play model. It's where they want to take it though, so there's not much we can do other than not buy the game. I bought NCAA 2011 this year, but no way would I pay $$$ for a game that's doing what Madden attempting to do.
