Roster Update – Next Gen

DECENT. THE BEST YET BY FAR. BUT MY SKINS DID NOT GET AL THE LOVE THEY REQIURED. GREAT THEY TOOK DOWN BRANDON LOYD. HE SUCKS, BUT RANLE EL SHOULD BE UP TO AT LEAST AN 82. HE’S BEEN A BEAST LATELY. AND NO KENAN MACCARDELL REALLY HURTS. SS STOUTMAIRE WAS RELEASSED TO MAKE ROOM FOR HIS SIGNING. KINDA WEIRD HE WAS PUT ON THE “ADDED” LIST SINCE HE HAS BEEN THERE SINCE LAST UPDATE.

My dolphins got screwed over. Ronnie Brown has had back-to-back 200+ yard games and nothing? He leads the league in yards from scrimmage. Also the defense is what should have taken a hit in the ratings. Ronnie is averaging over 5 yards a carry so I think the OL is doing and ok job. I don’t think they needed to all be downgraded. Especially Samson Satele who has been great for us at C.
October 4, 2007 at 8:45 am
They did OK, but you can tell these guys don’t watch football. They still have Scott Player as a FA and I could have swore the Browns signed him. They have Calvin Armstrong on the Skins and he was cut a long time ago and they haven’t added Stephon Heyer or Leigh Torrence and Heyer has played great when he’s gotten in especially for an undrafted rookie. There were also a bunch of players who deserved bumps that didn’t get one and they bumped players that they shouldn’t have bumped.
October 4, 2007 at 9:11 am
I KNOW. ALOT OF PLAYERS ARE STILL IN THE GAME THAT SHOULD NOT BE. THE MORE I SCAN THE UPDATE THE LESS I LIKE IT.
October 4, 2007 at 9:55 am
Looks pretty good
October 4, 2007 at 10:16 am
Ronnie Brown had 2 good games….alil premature on the ratings boost
October 4, 2007 at 10:25 am
That’s pretty comprehensive.
Except that Deuce McAllister is out for the year and they missed that one. Secondly, John Owens and Chris Reis didn’t make the update, but overall I’m very pleased.
October 4, 2007 at 10:29 am
Looks really good to me. I’m a skinsfan as well. I’m not going to worry about KENAN MACCARDEL. I can add him to the roster my self from the free agency pool. All in all, EA is doing good job with the roster updates this year. I’m just happy were getting regular online updates.
October 4, 2007 at 10:59 am
Padre, thanks for the intel man. (Long time no see, btw). Seems like they keep too many of the cut players in the game.
This seems like a self-conscious decision rather than an oversight. If the roster updates came out more frequently there would be fewer complaints from consumers.
I just found out about this blog space so I’ll be reading it whenever I can–btw, how often do you update.
Again, thanks for the posts man and keep up the good work.

Pasta please let EA know they are getting better at the updates and this one showed. Glad there actually listening to us thank you EA for the beautiful update.
October 4, 2007 at 12:44 pm
kudos to EA…much better
October 4, 2007 at 12:44 pm
how winston justice’s rating stays the same is beyond me, though
October 4, 2007 at 1:17 pm
Just for some perspective on the update it was finished before this last weekend (has to go through a testing phase). So for those wondering about guys like Winston Justice not getting downgraded that would be why. Doesn’t explain some of the omissions though like McAllister.
October 4, 2007 at 1:17 pm
very nice update. why craig go down though?
October 4, 2007 at 1:40 pm
upgrade tampabay O-line those guys been balling also more defense player upgrads phillp bucannan tenard jackson rudd gots to be higher than and 82 give me a break its cool but I still think its booty
October 4, 2007 at 1:52 pm
EA has still not gotten the correct positions of Phillip Daniels and Andre Carter. There defensive end positions are switched in real life.
October 4, 2007 at 1:53 pm
I have the PS3 version and a lot of the players don’t coincide w/ these updates. Is that because this is NEXT-GEN??? I am a rookie at this stuff.
October 4, 2007 at 2:14 pm
Maybe they decided to keep McAllister on the rosters for now, so that folks would be able to play with him if they really felt the need. I think it’ll be fun to play with Reggie Bush as my feature back from now on, though.

MIAMI BLOWS THEY SUCK THEY LOST TO THE RAIDERS GIMME A BREAK THERE FOLKS.
October 4, 2007 at 4:29 pm
i must go have an assfest.

Which is why I said there defense should have taken a hit. But look at Ronnie Brown’s stats and you will see why he deserves an upgrade. He has been one of the best RBs in the league this year.
October 4, 2007 at 6:44 pm
good to see tony romo and marion barber getting some love
October 4, 2007 at 8:18 pm
i kno daunte culpepper has only played one game but he should be upgraded, he showed he was good in preseason and i think he is going to get better and better as the season goes, his accuracy should go from 80-85 and speed 70-77
October 4, 2007 at 8:29 pm
I went to the Miami vs Raiders game. It was a close game until the end. I love Miami but it was fun to see Culpepper do the “roll on” in real life. His ratings should be bumped up 4 sure.
October 4, 2007 at 8:56 pm
LT should not be 99 he hasnt done anything so far, but great job on t.o. and romo its about time
October 4, 2007 at 10:54 pm
FUCK U INTERNET.
October 4, 2007 at 11:15 pm
Great update, but isn’t Kenny Irons out for the season as well? and that happened in like training camp/pre-season, but it’s still not in this roster update??? Let alone Duece McAllister.
It could have been better.
October 5, 2007 at 12:55 am
The update is okay, a lot of injuried people still on their, wasn’t impressed with Brady and Moss rating going up, because this people more of a reason to play with the Pats. Thanks EA, thanks a lot.
October 5, 2007 at 6:24 am
I STILL SAY RANDLE EL SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A FEW POINTS. HE SHOULD AT LEAST BE AN 80- 82. HE HAS REALLY STEPPED UP TO BE THE REDSKINS’ NUMBER 2 WR.
October 6, 2007 at 1:37 pm
looks good but how bout some love for the boys cb anthony henry..leads the nfl in picks.also…to whom this may concern…how bout…for the 360 bring in fairplay even if optional as well as o-line slide protection and most important the option to change camera view to overhead so u can see the flats when u snap the ball as well as the developement of the play on d so u can step up n get user picks a lil easier.
October 6, 2007 at 5:09 pm
I thought EA was going to release a patch to fix fumbles. Also, I know this is off topic, but is there a patch coming for NHL 08 to fix the dynasty issue in regards to records.
I found that when a team loses by a goal in regulation, they get credited with an overtime loss….This means one point in the standings that should not exist.
October 6, 2007 at 10:11 pm
hell yeah they should make a patch for the damn fumbles, i swear i wont run at the end of the game to keep a lead no more its safer to throw the ball when you are trying to run the clock lol
October 7, 2007 at 9:26 am
I don’t really like this update. I think the Packers deserved a lot more upgrades, along with a few other teams. They’re also missing a lot of injuries… And Rex Grossman should be WAY down! Maybe a around a 78
October 7, 2007 at 9:55 am
what do you people have against Adrian Wilson everyone knows he’s one of the hardest hitting safties in football!He should be a brick wall defender also.Did he diss madden or something
October 9, 2007 at 6:19 am
what about the other platform? When are they going to release the update? Thanks!!!
October 11, 2007 at 1:55 pm
Favre should be a 99
October 17, 2007 at 4:05 pm
hey pasta ne idea when the trade deadline rosters will be available?
October 17, 2007 at 4:13 pm
I’ve asked around but I haven’t been given a specific date or range to expect it. I wouldn’t be surprised if we got one next week though.
October 18, 2007 at 9:46 am
thanx again pasta
October 20, 2007 at 10:20 pm
this roster sucks balls. for one the skins are way underated on offense how the hell is caldwell rated better than randle el he hasn’t even played this year. second of all bob sanders and the whole chargers d is way over rated bob sanders rated 96 and he has never played a full season and his stats suck. sean taylor should be at 96 since he is tied with the lead for picks andre cater already has 5 sacks and jason campbell just sucks in the game. ea i know there are a alot more player out there that deserve ratings to go up but they should also be changing the ratings of teams aswell cuz the chargers suck, philly, broncos,falcons, ravens, niners, rams,jets,dolphins,saints.
November 6, 2007 at 7:50 pm
great job on roster updates but packer’s o-line kinda underrated i would say. and now that ryan grant is starting is rating needs to go up.
November 27, 2007 at 2:54 pm
I have 3 problems.
-Why is Drew Carter in the Ratings Down list when it clearly says his overall went up by 2?
-Why is’nt Beason of Carolina Middle Linebacker up? He been stuntin?
-Marshawn Lynch is right at or right below speed weapon. 95 or 96.
February 19, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Allen Rossum gonna help the steelers on special teams.count on it.matta fact if the steelers don’t make the playoffs imma throw away my 360
March 8, 2008 at 10:16 am
Eli mannings rating should have dropped big. like at 45.
March 8, 2008 at 10:18 am
Brett Favres should be at 99
