left it open in case he has more details that could prove this to be incorrect.
I got it. It's EA's rule for this game. It makes absolutely no sense, but, it's da rulz! I can understand this when there's a difference in TM but at some point, both characters/ships reach full TM at the same time...that's an exception. But in this case, it's just like chess, soccer, backgammon etc. The only "coin toss" happens in the begining and that's it. You don't see the players coin tossing throughout the game, it's one and done! By doing this, you're trading strategy for RNG, a thing EA seems to love.
That's not at all true. The reason that most sporting events have only a single coin toss is because the fairness lies in each side getting a chance to have the advantage; the coin toss is only to see who gets the advantage first, not who gets to have advantage throughout the entire game. In point of fact, overtime often calls for a second coin toss (or jump ball).
It would be one thing if you wanted to argue that after the first coin toss, both sides should alternate who wins a TM tie, but to argue that whomever wins first should win throughout is not arguing for skill vs. RNG.
The setup of those games dictates that after the initial "who goes first" is settled, there are provisions from that point on for how the game progresses.
In this game the stated mechanic is that when multiple characters/ships get 100% TM, there is a coin toss at that time.
