Final Madden Roster Update Coming Next Week

I’ve been sent some information in regards to the next Madden roster update. The hope is to have it out by the end of next week. This will be the final one for 09 and will include the removal of players from the IR. It will not be limited to the teams that were in the playoffs as it will include updates for the entire league.

Apparently this update may be more significant than any we’ve seen all year, with some sweeping changes to more reflect the performances of this season and address players who may have been neglected. That is good news considering the majority of the community felt that the ratings should be based somewhat more on current performance than the way things had been going which was more of a slant towards past performance.

    when are the rosters coming?!?!
  • bigbenSBMVP
    Anyone know when they going to show us the update? I know it's not coming till Friday (I hope) but would like to know whats on the update.
  • Det204ever
    yes I agree about an update but it shud not be any body moving up to a 99 but maybe troy i do not feel as if ed reed is better than troy i wud say these are the two best safeties in the game and u can argue who is better but that is when the heart comes in because these guys are great at what they do
  • blondeviking64
    Now I beleive that troy is great. No one else in football flows to the ball the way he does and the result is an increase in the big plays he makes. However, if you really look at Ed Reeds year you can only conclude that he makes think he is better. Not much, but come on. The man has scored more points this year than more than half of the offensive players in the NFL (not counting lineman). Seriously I believe that he is the best player in the NFL this year and should have won the MVP. Dont take my word for it, look at his production compared to other players- not just this year- but over the history of the NFL. That is the kind of year he had.
  • det204ever
    well i will admit that u may be correct on ed's year i love ed but if u read i said u cud argue the fact about both guys I think it is a tie besides wasnt it troy's interception for a td that sealed ed's fate that is sendingtroy 2 his second super bowl? regular season stats are thrown out in wen it is about da playoffs.da playoffs dont talk about da playoffs yes we are talking bout da playoffs lol but ed reed is a great saftey and you cudnt go wrong picking either guy.
  • allmaddenking
    where is the update
  • ken
    nice unbiased opinion, i mostly agree with you (def on philly recievers and the skins) but kerry collins didnt go unnoticed he was the veteran equivilent of flacco and id give both an 82 overall, the steelers D is great and should be rated accordingly not 99s (except for troy who i say is a 98) but i hate the steelers so i cant objectively give them ratings...except for troy who is 1 point less than the best safety in the league Mr. Ed Reed (he beats me if i dont call him mr)
  • Maddenaddict24
    Any word on if the new roster update is going to have Miami's Cameron Wake? He was an absolute monster in the CFL posting 39 sacks in 2 years. Now i know that there is depleted talent in the CFL but 39 sacks in 2 years!? Also he was named Defensive Player of The Year in both of his only 2 seasons in the league! This guy is a beast. I'm not saying that he should be 99 overall or anything like that. But i, along with thousands of other madden fans will be sadly dissapointed if he gets anything below an 83.
  • barnmaker
    you know those madden people wont do that. we're going to have to wait for next year. that guy is a beast though. imagine him opposite of joey porter on 3rd and long.
  • D.Hall's my name !!!
    Hey EA!!! Show me some love. And while you are at it, show H.B. Blades somne love. He's alot quicker and faster than the 78 speed you gave him !!! And lets not forget how fast the old man in the middle is !!! If A. Peirce is a 85 speed London Fletcher should be 90 speed !!!!But at least an 88 speed . He did run down B. Westbrook last game the Eagles and Skins played and has flashed better speed than you give him credit for . Give us our props EA !! The Redskins are the Number 4 ranked defense this year !!!
  • ken
    Thats what ive been sayin for a while now, love the comparison between pierce and fletch, fletcher is at least 5 points faster, blades never got anything last year and since the ratings guys dont watch skins games they probably wouldnt know hes as fast (probably faster) than marcus washington so dont be shocked if he doesnt get the boost he so rightly deserves, hall is probably the second greatest insult in ratings on the team, EA has hated on him since royal had his way with him in week 2, they act like he didnt have 5 ints this year but like i said hes the second biggest insult on the team next to campbell. JC throw accuracy boost, not overall, not awareness, just accuracy thats all i want, i just want it in range of our backup qbs...good post (again) hall
  • Det204ever
    d hall i agree with u ea sports are busy with the crybabies. I will admit that d hall has played better in a redskins jersey and yea fletcher has had a great year as well as jason campbell I think he has out played eli and romo this year and i also think portis ratings should stay the same. it is a lot of people who went un noticed like Kerry collins, Ike taylor and a lot of the defenseive players for pittsburg.every reciever in philly should go down they have proved as good as donovin is they are the reason that he cant win.i have also noticed that flaco didnt go up or willis mcgahee. When I say this I am talking pure football and real life just like a lot of the dolphins didnt go up that much.
  • GIANTSFAN241
    Anyone now when it will come out Or have the details?
  • Bob Sanders
    If it's coming tomorrow, they'll give the details later on today. If they don't, they'll probably wait another week, and I'm just tired of waiting for this update.
  • ken
    *sigh* 99 is a bit high for a guy on a sub 500 team, and cromartie had an off year dont act like he didnt have 10 ints last year, the worst starting corner in the league wasis terrence newman give credit where credit is due he got burned worse than t.o.'s urethra after a night with romo...
  • Qb guru
    Ken, dont be retarded...99 is perfect
  • ken
    i think you mean swift i was saying no one on a sub 500 team should be 99
  • QB Guru
    are you crazy? Aso is a fuckin monster.....it doesnt matter if all the players around you cant hold their jock for shit........the dude balls out every game
  • Ataraxia001
    And you neglected to mention Antonio Cromartie fractured his hip in the second half of the season opener against Carolina and played through the injury all season. This is a fact. Unbelievable. But you think he needs a ratings decrease? That's laughable.
  • D.Hall's my name !!!
    Ha Ha Ha !!!! ... now that's getting burned !!!!
  • Matt Ryan (ROY)
    Antonio Cromartie: Worst starting CB this season: 80 overall

    no, its Chris Houston for the Falcons @ 77. Falcons have the worst rated secondary on the game.
  • Matt Ryan (ROY)
    In fact, the highest rated corner for the Falcons is Foxworth @ 80, and it just got changed last month.
  • QB Guru
    They have to totally revamp franchise mode, I think...I get bored after playing like 4 years....they should add some crazy new shit......radio interviews, models, groupies...mayb a sex game...lol
    nah, but fuck, there should be an interesting twist to winning the SB, your conference championship, shit like that........And it seems when we blitz..it NEVER gets to the A.I's quarterback, for No fucking reason.
  • ken
    humorously enough thats cus the AIs oline can block, they only way ive found to get through is gap control, pick a LB or safety blitz play, take control of a safety or a LB, L1 down on the pad, L1 up on the right stick, then move the LB or Safety right behind the DT, then do X and down on the right stick so he doesnt do an angled blitz and goes straight down and 60-70% of the time he should get through untouched, lather rinse repeat...enjoy
  • Guru
    I dont know what controls you're referring to......i use the 360
  • ken
    my bad dude i use ps3; L1 is d line audible button X is the individual player audible button (i think they call it playmaker) and the right sticks should be the same the whole goal is to have your dline sucked in tight but spreading after the ball is snapped so the center blocks the NT the guards take the 2 DEs and you blitz through untouched between the center and guard, it wont work right if you dont change the blitzers angle to straight down, i wouldnt recommend doin it to a human more than twice a game or youll get raped worse than that white chick they found on spring break in jamaica
  • Guru
    shit sounds complicated as fuck
  • Dee
    you guys are still arguing over Desean Jackson and Eddie Royal? I think the only thing Jackson has better than Royal is speed. Other than that Royal's hands, awareness, route running, and everything else is better. I dont see how Deseans catching is higher...?
  • BAL
    THE RAVENS JOE FLACO SHOULD BE OVR 82, HE HELP LEAD HIS TEAM TO AFC CHAMP,GAME.ALSO SAFETY ED REED SHOULD BE 99OVR SUGGS 90'S OVR THE OTHER SAFETY SHOULD BE 85OVR.

  • Joe
    I've checked this posting since Pasta put it up and no one ever really addressed my question so I'll ask it again. Does anyone know if they will be addressing the coaching changes that happened during the season. For example could they please get rid of Lane Kiffin. He's not even in the NFL any longer. I just feel that if this update will be "significant" as Pasta has pointed out then maybe they could do us the community a little favor and make this simple change.
  • ken
    no they wont, same reason theres no wildcat, why fix it for free when you can wait 6 months and sadomize the same customers for another $80
  • Joe
    Thank you Ken. That answer makes total sense.
  • orangeandblue
    i think ryan harris from the broncos should get a boost he was a beast this yr giving up.5 a sack
  • ken
    Hey pasta I dunno if you actually read these when theyve been up this long, if there was an active 2010 thread (not related to the cover) i would have posted there, but for now I have a question. Do you have any idea if EA is planning to change/upgrade the oline protections and or blocking AI in 2010? Its seems to be a very large flaw that has annoyed maddenation to carrottop level proportions, thanks!
  • ken
    shit hes 50 times better than special teams mikell; and sean was better :)
  • ken
    well put, and we use the skins and eagles who have good olines, imagine how much it sucks if you have an average o line...
  • QB Guru
    hahahaaaa...........one of the worst things is when the OLineman does absolutely nothing, allowing the D end to just fuck you up........what makes it worse is when you are in the beginning of your throwing motion, and you fumble after being assed up. Like I played with the Panthers, Jordan Gross is like a 90+ left tackle, and he allowed 3 sacks on my blind side on ONE series.........i nearly destroyed my controller.
  • ken
    i think that sucks even more when its just a DE and they whiff, even worse is if it annoys the crap out of you so much so you lead block with one of em, and the other side collapses now thats a b*tch!
