Exactly how did the people who were able to take advantage of EA's screw up cheat? Please explain.
I'd guess a very small percent of people benefited. Probably something like 1% and that's probably pushing it. It was a 30 minute glitch that happened when a lot of people were at work.
Although this is a good idea, muthead doesn't count for more half the people that play this game, so the numbers will never be close.
Ive never heard of that saying. I've heard cheaters never win and uhh, EA Sports, it's in the Lame, but not if you're not cheating you're not trying

Well you can't say 1 fourth of the community did, I wasn't home during the time period, but if I was I would've done all of them. Im sure the couple of votes for the cards are the same person. Based on the voting now, it looks like 3 out of 38 actually took advantage of it.
herman moore was the only one i had in my binder not boosted so i did him, buy the time i finished the solos for howie long it was fixed...
Low numbers, but the impact is big. A bunch of 96 OVR for 6k coin while everyone else spent 100k's to get that upgrade. Despite the low number of people that benefited. this is a HUGE difference in currency exchange and should warrant some kind of "apology pack" from EA. Though what should rightly be done and what is actually done, when it comes to EA, is usually not in the benefit of the people.
EDIT *With these stats approx 1/4 of the community took advantage of the glitch.
I actually built Atwater, powered him down when Derwin RP hit 94 and built Vick. Double whammy
Pretty small sample, but it looks like hardly anyone benefited from the glitch (or hardly anyone will admit to benefiting from the glitch if you're a conspiracy theorist). I think I'm good with EA letting this slide without a make right or an apology.
To get an idea of how many people benefited from and/or were affected by the glitch earlier today, I thought it might be helpful to create this poll. If the numbers warrant it, maybe EA will do a make right for those that missed the glitch. If nothing else, hopefully this will provide some interesting information to the community.
For full disclosure purposes, I upgraded Vick with snow and missed out on the glitch this morning that allowed Ghost of Madden Forever Cards to be upgraded with coins. I didn't upgrade any snow beasts with coins or snow.
