Re: Games completed penalty

Here's an explanation:

This is exactly what it is. It doesn't actually detract from your total coins (that you already have or paid for) but the coins you earn per game per day. It strikes me as another win trading combat tactic. Also he said this on Twitter (responded within 5 minutes of my question too).

This really must have been a problem last year given a few of the changes made to online. Win trading (launching a game w/ a buddy, having one person quit so the other person gets the win after a few minutes) to either climb the leaderboards or accumulate coins for MUT must have been an issue since now you:

-Can't invite a friend to an online ranked match (can't boost up the leaderboards)
-Opponent quits in the first half, the other doesn't get the win (a little drastic in hindsight, but effective at stopping win trading)
-Games per day coin penalty (can't play a bunch of games w/ a buddy to build up coins in a row)

I know some of these changes might not seem that great for the casual guy looking to have fun, but there are A LOT of cheaters out there in the online community, and I like that EA is taking steps to make things more difficult for them. The only one I disagree w/ is the first half thing. Perhaps the first quarter would have been smarter.
