My guess is 5-10 coins. Five on a loss, ten on a win. Reports are 25 coins. This is just a hunch.

Reports will be probably 1 or 2 bucks.

The most annoying thing, and that I simply can't understand, is why do you have to pay or give coins to see your own scouting report? That's ridiculous.

I love the idea of a scouting report, just hate that again, it's something the end user has to pay out of pocket for to get the full enjoyment out of it.

Last year for MUT you could earn like 200-300 a game...if it stays that way no one would even need to think about paying for them.

Now if those same coins fund MUT (if they bring it back) or another feature, that's a different story...

This is a great feature... but it's only half-implemented in my opinion.. Why shouldn't they have this track ALL the games you play, and not just the online games? I would like to see my tendencies accumulate through my offline franchise as well as offline head to head games.

And why do we have to "accumulate" these coins before checking out the scouting report on our opponent??? It would seem to me to make more sense that you should automatically get these scouting reports on your opponent. I don't want to be playing against some guy online and have him scouting my tendencies, all the while I used up all my 'coins' on the last game I played so I can't contribute to this "chess" match... Waccckkkk...

But GREAT to see they are at least somewhat trying to implement a 'VIP' type system.

yeah...I don't get the having to pay to see your own scouting report. Thats silly.

But depending on how many coins are earned per game, one may not be forced to pay anything out of pocket to get the full experience.

But you get 20,000 Madden Coins when pre-ordering Madden at GameStop if I'm not mistaken. So I'll just get my online scouting report with those.

I thought it said in the article that coins obtained thru MUT could be used to buy player card packs or coin packs for scouting.

And I'm just randomly guessing here that since they are giving you 50 coins out of the gate just for purchasing the game new, then that will be the amount that you earn from playing a single game. That would entail that you can, so long as you don't quit/disconnect, buy a full scouting report for the next game after having played one.
