Madden NFL 11 Introduces Online Scouting

Re: Madden NFL 11 Introduces Online Scouting

What you don't realize is that when the pats went 18-1 they simply had more coins than the other NFL teams. Pats ran out of coins in the Super Bowl, where as the Giants saved all their coins for it.

The Patriots used coins to unlock Belichick's red hoodie.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Introduces Online Scouting

They're saying scouting is authentic to football, but then they say it's only for online head to head games. WTH? They know it's a part of football, but they still only put it in one mode? On top of that, even though they know it's a part of football, you have to earn the right to use it lol. **sigh** I guess I shouldn't have read the article again lol.

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.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Introduces Online Scouting

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.

Replay Value? Do you honestly think this will make people play online more? There was a thread on here a few months ago asking people why they stopped playing online. 90% of the people said because of cheesers and glitchers. I don't recall anyone saying they stopped playing online because they didn't have a scouting report. The scouting report is not gonna fix glitches and the scouting report is not gonna stop cheesers so the 2 main reasons people don't play online still go unaddressed. When they find some way to stop the cheesers and glitchers, you'll start to see the online numbers increase. Until then, the online numbers will remain the same.

What's going on, man? You seem to be getting upset over something, but I don't know what it is lol. What does you being new to OS have to do with anything lol? I agree with everything you're saying so I don't really know why you quoted me.

I think it helps by adding ways to find out what your opponents will do. Of course it would be more effective before a game (because of Gameplan), but during a game, it could tell you what your opponents have the tendency to do, thus allowing you to enter into your playbook and call plays based on your scouting report, which aids you in stopping whatever they're (cheesers/glitchers) doing. The scouting report feature won't fix the problem with chessers and glitchers, and of course at some points it becomes obvious, eliminated the need for a scouting report. That issue really is something that should be addressed and that aspect still remains to be seen. I gave you my opinion, not everyone else's opinion and I do think that the cheesing and glitching is one of the main things stopping me from playing Madden online; but aside from the benefit of playing a human competitor and earning a high winning record, what else is there to keep me playing?

LOL! Nah,Im quoting you because you basically saying everything I said earlier and a couple of people jumped on me like I was just ranting and hating.On page 10 and carried over to page 11 with my posts you can clearly see what Im talking about.When I said it people had something to say but when you said the same thing,no comment.I just wondered was this because you have been here longer and Im getting some kind of OS "hazing".LOL

Well, I know I haven't called you that, yet, but I notice you do like to repeat your posts.

Yet?LOL

My bad for repeating myself,not trying to be a virtual nuisance.I was just trying to make a point,criticism accepted and duly noted.LOL
