Madden 08 (final) roster update #8 details

by pastapadre
Posted February 16th, 2008 at 6:09 am

The last roster update for Madden 08 is set to release sometime early today for the 360 and PS3. This update removes all players from the IR and somewhat surprisingly does include transactions made plus ratings and weapons changes. The Super Bowl was obviously taken into account with the Giants receiving a bunch of significant upgrades.

In a year that EA has been highly criticized one area where they excelled was with the roster updates. Going into 08 the goal was to do them on a weekly or bi-weekly basis after having never had any real consistency in previous years. While it wasn’t quite done at that pace (bad gap between November 12th and January 14th) it still represented a huge improvement. It was also nice to have all the changes communicated instead of just wondering or digging through players trying to figure out who had moved. Hopefully it gets even more frequent next year and other EA Sports games follow their lead in this area.

Update: The new rosters are now available.

Continue on to view the full list of changes in the final roster update for 08.

do they still make updates for 2008 with brett favre on jets

daniel schultz

how do i put this update on my games this is my first time

Percy

[quote comment="13906"]These updates are OK, but it still does not do justice to the Giants. People seem to forget that they dominated the playoffs. These updates don't even come close to doing justice to the D-Line. In 09, they need to come up with some cohesive ratings for an entire D-Line, because the Giants defense beat the sh*t out of every team in the playoffs. Ok, the updates to Strahan and Umenyiora are good, but I just played with them and there's really not much difference. There has to be a feature which allows the D-Line of a team like the giants to dominate with just four of them there, and allow the backs to play more coverage. I still find myself still having to sacrifice back field coverage to blitz in order to get to the QB. Also, the ratings for Toomer and Smith need to be upped. They both made clutch catches and plays during all of the playoffs. And Burress at 94 is not right, he's one of the best receivers in the league. He's been playing with a messed up ankle the entire season. And Manning didn't throw one int in the playoffs, he's definitely an accurate QB. As soon as Shockey left and stopped pestering him, he played awesome every game. But really, these updates do not do justice to the D-line.. The Robbins and Cofield should both be at least 90 with finesse or crushing.[/quote]

winning the playoff doent mean nothing ok Pats were a 99 but didnt win the superbowl in 06 or 07 or 08 ok giants r still wack they prabaly get an TEAM rating of 90-93 anny higher is crazy Pats should still have a rating higher than 95 due to their offense

JUJU

How do I download the updated rosters for madden 08 for ps3???

rob

never mind. it worked. for some reason it didn't work when i tried.

rob

are the rosters no longer downloadable? i lost my saved roster file and can't find the updated rosters to download. what gives?

NorCal

Show the Titans receiver a little love. Give us someone that is at least 80 besides Moulds who drops everything and Givens who just flat out sucks. We don't have either of them anymore either. This sucks so bad.

Vaden

"Now we win 10 straight road games… a NFL record" 49ers 16 straight road wins? Dumbass. It's really to bad how poorly the 49ers have been with offence. I suppose that is what happens when you have a D-courd as a head coach. Patrick Willis on the other hand is a BEAST! How 'bout that 49ers defence. Get a halfway decent WR and a QB with some balls and you may have a playoff team.

frustrated guy

YA!! BUT WHERE IS THE INDIVIDUAL RATINGS!!!

LIKE THE SPEED:
AGILITY:
STRENGTH:

I WANNA KNOW THAT STUFF!!

KRIS GLENN

ALL IM ASKIN IS FOR EA TO STOP TAKING MCNABB DOWN FOR NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DAMN REASON!!!!EVERY UPDATE HE WENT DOWN....EVERY DAMN ONE!!!!! PLEASE STOP IT, IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE AND ITS JUST NOT FAIR TO US FANS.

Krumbz

Oh... I'm a 31 yr old who was introduced to the NY Giants by my Pops.
And.
Been a fan since 86' brethren.

(In other words I've been a fan since I was 10 yrs old).

Sam's just upset that his team CHO CHO CHOKED and the best team in the NFL actually won the Super Bowl.

The best team won. That's why there is a Super Bowl.

Don't hate. Act now and YOU TOO can be a Giants fan. Come show some love and admiration for THE team that YOUR team looks up to over at www.Giants.com

Krumbz

[quote comment="15481"]And sam your 100% right the giants are just a luck luck and i just have to say that agion lucky they are going to be a bad team next year they wont even make into the playoffs next year i predict them to be 7-9 or 6-10 . Yea thats right i just burned all you giant fans haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa : )[/quote]

Yeah that's what everybody has said about the Giants for the past 3 years. We've been to the Playoffs in each one of them.

Yawnnnnn.... we'll take another underdog label. Thanx!

(Sound like an Eagle or Cowboy fan... how's Romo doin?)

Krumbz

heh heh heh... lol @ all the angry Patsies, Cowgirls and Sheagles fans!

The Gmen have ALWAYS got the shaft in Maddens. For the past few years I know people who simply didn't purchase the game JUST because of how badly the Giants were rated.

Yeah I'm a Giants fan and all but they've been pretty consistent the past three years and still received VERY average ratings. They've been in the Playoffs the past 3 years consecutively. Not many teams can claim that.

Now we win 10 straight road games... a NFL record... play a VERY competitive game with Patriots in the last game of the season, beat the Bucs - away, beat the Cowboys - away, beat the Packers - away (in the third coldest game in NFL history aka Ice Bowl III) and go on to DEFEAT... the UNDEFEATED... New England Patriots - away.

Eli gets the MVP and a nation is in shock!

Perfection DENIED!!!

THE ALL-YEAR-LONG UNDERDOG... FINALLY HAD ITS DAY.

Sooooo stop complaining about the so called "boost" the Giants received.

Everyone and their Mom knows it was WELL DESERVED. It was earned!

::walks off to go polish his Super Bowl ring::

luke

where can i download these at for xport/xchange for 360?

And sam your 100% right the giants are just a luck luck and i just have to say that agion lucky they are going to be a bad team next year they wont even make into the playoffs next year i predict them to be 7-9 or 6-10 .

Durk

this is what i think.

Corey webster shouled be a 88 he is a best!!!!

Wes welker shouled be a 94 becasue he did amazing in the playoffs.

Philip Rivers dosent deserve to go up to a 87 he shouled have stayed a 86.

also T.J Houshmandzadeh shouled go up to 95 or 96 becuase he is a very good WR ,and chad johnson shouled be a 95 becasue he had a very bad year.

Ellis Hobbes shouled be at least a 88 he had a amzing year.

And last but not least Ty Law needs to go down just a little bit not a whole lot.

gmac

I need ASANTE wit Philly, and i dont see how mcnabbs ratings went down when he finished the season off 3 wins in a row, 300 yrds avg per game? and we still had a top 10 offense

Sam

You fair-weather Giants fans suck. Most of the Giant ratings should not be upgraded. Michael Strahan? Sam Madison? Steve Smith? They didn't deserve upgrades. Justin Tuck & Corey Webster, yeah, but not all these suckas!!! I'm so glad y'all are losing key players. Giants suck, Superbowl or not, they suck. But big props on beating new england, thats wassup. & anyone who thinks Eli is better than McNabb needs to get off CRACK. Donovan would have won if he had Plaxico & that D-Line too, & not just this year. Eli will be Eli again next season, & then all the Giant fans will disappear again. GET OFF THE BANDWAGON!!!

Matt

I am really glad that they upped Sean Taylor's rating although I don't know why they didn't make him a 99. He was on track to have a Pro Bowl year (even though he still made it) and lead the league in INT's even 2 weeks after his tradgic death. I feel like the Redskins don't get enough love. There D is pretty damn good minus the D-line... I am pretty critical of the team, so I think the Offense is where it should be in ratings. They aren't that good yet and Santana Moss stunk it up; which really pisses me off because he is so much better than that but he still made some spectacular catches.

Rest in Piece #21

SKIN'S FAN 4 LIFE!!!

ondnxtlvl

When will the b.s. stop with roy williams of the cowboys having a hammer and having such a high player rating. He's horrible. It took them years to lower his coverage ratings to the joke that they are. Now he's lost his ability to line up an offensive player for a solid hit. He hasn't cause a fumble in 2 YEARS! He might have been a heavy hitter 3 years ago but even the common Cowboys fan will tell you he's not the playmaker he used to be. A 98 in Hit Power? What a joke!

skinsthashiznital

Why did they not remove Sean Taylor? He is gone and and will be missed, as a Redskins fan it pains me to see him on the game. R.I.P 21 You will be missed.

jay

so this is the last update? we will have to move the free agents ourselves before we buy 09?

danny

almani toomer should be a possion reciever and kevin boss run blocking ratings should be in the 80s easily.giants D held the almighty patriots to 14 points,give the giants D a lil more love on the ratings,sorry cowboy fans,the cowboys are great but just a little 2 over rated in the game

danny

eli manning should not be a accurate passer,no way,he throws like the worst short passes in the league,what eli should be is a cannon arm,eli throws one of the best deepballs(25 yards and up) if not the best in the league!!

Don't act like you don't kno

[quote comment="13854"]Finally LenDale becomes a Power back and he should be a stiff arm back as well...... i saw him stiff arm alot of deffenders this year........Keith Bulluck should also be a Smart Linebacker.......other then that......its alright.......Cowboyz O Line got too much love.....they have 3 Crushing Run Blockers yet they did not block for a 1000 yard back..... Ahmad Bradshall got too much love as well[/quote]

No they jus almost had their back up run for 1000 yards, and the team ran for over 1,500 yards, so yea no there not any good. All yall need to know your stats and all before puttin what you think should be down. Way to much love for Eli, he did good but for a short time period. I am Cowboys fan, and I'm givin him props for doin good, but for real It wasn't long enough, or even great. It was good, should leave him below 90, high 80's tho. To much love for the Giants cus they won the Superbowl, can't put every one up on the team cus they won one game, It was the superbowl but it was still one game. few slip ups, most are good tho

chronic

[quote comment="13798"][quote comment="13565"][quote comment="13559"]Why did Matt Light's rankings drop? He's the best O-Line man ever![/quote]
did you watch the super bowl?

and i like how dre bly loses shutdown corner weapon, but al harris gives up like 150 yards to plax in the championship game, and goes up

some of these updates don't make sense[/quote]

Dre Bly's rating went down because he couldn't cover his grandmother. Al Harris had one bad game all year.[/quote]
also the biggest game of his life

Sammyboy

[quote comment="14277"]Ahmad Bradshaw an 80 overall! please! he was the leading rusher in the super bowl![/quote]

True! They should put my boy Smitty in there with a 99. He was the leading rusher in a pick up two hand touch game near my house!

danooo

Ahmad Bradshaw an 80 overall! please! he was the leading rusher in the super bowl!

Sammyboy

[quote comment="14099"]wtf! how the heck does mcnabb go down!?! Eagles won the last 3 games of the season, made it to 8-8 behind 'skins + G-men + Cowgirls (all of whom made the playoffs), plus they didn't even go in the playoffs but his ratings go down.

I guess if EA members tore THEIR acl's and couldn't walk for a year then things would be slightly different...

and LB Chris Gocong should at least be 80-ish with decent finesse 'cause he led the nation in sacks in college.[/quote]

Chris Gocong is so bad they should do him a service and just remove him from the game.

jeff

ok to the person who said philip rivers doesn't deserve the accuracy weapon, your an idiot and let me tell you why
1. ever heard of a sophmore slump(even tom brady had one)
2. he was learning a newish offense plus a lack of eric parker
3. he didnt get chris chambers until mid seasoin at wich point his numbers started to get better
4.did you watch him in the playoffs he was great! especially in the colts game.
5. don't tell me bout the pats-bolts playoff game in which he threw two INT's, he played with a torn ACL. also about playing with a torn ACL. Toughness 99

jeff

i hate how EA will just release a player just so they can add anoth. example: roman oben released by chargers so they could add jyles tucker. what the hell is that? also whats with jamal williams and mike goff going down? williams was fricken injured assholes! you can't make a player go down cuz of injury. Also Cromartie should be like a 90-92 ovrall. I hate EA and i hope you assholes decide not to make a giant crap in a box for 09. but of course you will because you all suck.

Cishr

Marc Bulger should have his rating droped and Accurate QB taken away your not accurate when you have more int's than td's.

Ocho-Cinco

YESSSSSS MELVIN BULLITT is finally on the colts

he is my friend Terrance Bullitt's brother

and we go to naaman forest high school and thats where Melvin went

and Melvin has came to a lot of are games bcuz T his younger bro plays and he shows respect to where he came from Which is NFHS and so i get to see him all the time and i can actually say i personally really know sum1 from the nfl

ADVICE: if you ever use the colts drop bethea to 2nd string FS and Put Bullitt at #1 FS he is a beast trust me

NFHS Garland Tx 75040 ALL DAY BABY

Ocho-Cinco

[quote comment="13638"]The way the Pats lost there should of been more player ratings down not just 1 guy!![/quote]

ur a complete idiot

If a team goes 18-1

they should all be boosted stats not go down u idiot

I

yah eagles front-7 ratings suck despite ranking 7th in the league in run defense.

Hecka teams are worse vs. run but they still have better linemen-backers

peyton manning should be on the top of QBs section

gary

wtf! how the heck does mcnabb go down!?! Eagles won the last 3 games of the season, made it to 8-8 behind 'skins + G-men + Cowgirls (all of whom made the playoffs), plus they didn't even go in the playoffs but his ratings go down.

I guess if EA members tore THEIR acl's and couldn't walk for a year then things would be slightly different...

[quote comment="13564"]ummmm what about one of the top corners antonio cromartie??[/quote]
You know, even me being a denver fan I was thinking the same thing. Antonios speed, jump, elusiveness, acceleration, and stuff like that should probalby go up to

Your Mama

[quote comment="13951"]David Tyree ISN'T a spectacular catch RECEIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DID YOU SEE THE SUPER BOWL???? Well anyway, Ahmad Bradshaw should be AT LEAST an 85 rating. But I gotta say, thanx 4 the Eli Manning upgrade, I was sooo pissed when he was only and 87 rating.[/quote]
He made one spectacular catch. If you can find another one in his career, maybe. A spectacular catch receiver is someone who does it routinely, like Randy Moss. I don't really like Moss, but the man does embarass CBs with some of the endzone catches he makes.

Remember the Titans

How does Rob Bironas get skipped on having the accurate kicker weapon. The dude was the best kicker in the NFL this year, hence his appearance in the pro bowl. Plus he broke the NFL record of the most field goals kicked in one game. Come on EA, where is the love?

Sammyboy

[quote comment="13952"]I saw somebody say that Jeff Feagles should be and accurate Punter because his punts only go 5 yards. I like what you said about the first part, but the rest is bogus. The Giants always get very close to scoring, and Laurence Tynes can't kick very far. So they put Jeff Feagles in to kick them within the 5 yard line and he gets like a 35 yd punt, and trust me, he is a beast at punting.[/quote]

Do you think the Giants are the only team that tries to pin an opponent in the 5 yard line? Every other punter attempts to do that their fair share and still maintains an adult mans punting avg. P.S the giants don't always "almost score."
