      It actually has. If u know the coin is gonna land tells it feels like cheating. A few times(very few) it has landed heads and I lost. The point is it need to be patched.

        Its just the coin toss. If you want the computer to win, pick heads, if you still win pick kick, there computer wins. I understand that its a silly error for there to be, but it in no way damages the gameplay.

              I don't even pay that much attention to it. And it's certainly not something I care enough about to post on OS. But, hey.......

                You realize that the statistical probability of it landing tails every time is the same as it alternating heads and tails every time?

                It's completely random. It's 100% plausible that you get long runs of tails at a time.

                  The good news?

                  If this is what we are complaining about the game certainly can't be as bad as some are making it out to be.

                      Honestly, this is one thing that is certainly not broken about the game. It's the most basic programming thing there is. EA would have to go out of their way to program the coin to land on one side more than the other.

                      Play 100 games, keep track of the coin tosses for each game, and then report the results back to us.

                        Thats actually not true, but it is way too much trouble to explain and debate that when the subject is so pointless lol

                          Did 20 pre-game coin flips as a tests. 10 with the CPU choosing the toss, and 10 with the user choosing. (Of those ten I chose heads 5 times and tails 5 times.)

                          12 tails
                          8 heads

                          Perfectly normal resusts.

                          Can we lay this to rest now?

                          (Oh and when choosing tails myself, heads came up 2 times. So shoosing tails and always gettings tails=Busted.)

                          There I'm a "Mythbuster."

                            Back in college I picked up the habit of always selecting tails on the coin flip from my homeboy who's motto was "Tails never fails". Well, in Madden I select tails all the time and I swear it's ALWAYS heads.

                              ha, ive gotten tails pretty much all the time as well. there was an older madden game where it was heads all the time, but now its tails.

                              maybe its just luck.
