Final Madden Roster Update Coming Next Week

Posted January 23rd, 2009 at 1:52 pm

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.

Don't for get about the Bucs WR Antonio Bryant he had a monster second half and LT Donald Penn only gave up two sacks all year. Penn faced J Peppers and D Abraham twice. In addition, Penn was the player that stopped D Ware's consecutive sack streak. Both players should be in the nindies. Last but not least the Bucs punt/kick returner Smith made the Pro Bowl dispite only being active for the last half of the season. The rating system is fine, it just needs to be more consistent on more players and teams. I don't its right to reduce a players rating becuase he is injured. No body is crying about Brady's rating. Whats good for the goose, is good for the gander.

KRIS

desean had one game at the end of the season where he dropped a lot of balls and that was the second deadskinz game so what r u talkin about? and u proved my point look how many catches he had and still almost got 1000 yds ur boy got 30 more in a pass only offense and still aint get there. and desean was r returner too so what r u sayin? and if ur only real argument is that he dropped the ball on the 1 yd line that ended up as an eagles td anyway u lost this argument

Tate

your kidding right? The Eagles passed more than the Broncos did. You are only saying they did not run teh ball because it was a dif person everyweek. The Broncos averaged more rushing yards than the Eagles. And about the catch category i would much rather have a reciever that can catch 91 passes and hang on to the ball, than a reciever who only catches when he is open and drops it when he is hit or in traffic. You lost the argument because Jackson will not have a better year than Royal next year and he did not this year, he beat ya boy in catches, touchdowns, and games started. Talk to me in a year when the seasons over so i can say i told you so BUD!

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!

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!

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.

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…?

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

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.

*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…

D.Hall's my name !!!

Ha Ha Ha !!!! … now that's getting burned !!!!

Ken, dont be retarded…99 is perfect

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.

Anyone now when it will come out Or have the details?

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.

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.

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.

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)
