As posted last week roster update #18 for Madden 09 is the final one of the year. That means injured players come off the IR. But EA has also put a lot of effort into providing an extensive update that better represents the performances of the players this season. Hopefully this is a sign of how the updates will be produced next year as the vast majority of the community (88% according to the poll) wanted to see more of a slant towards current performance than was being offered.

Unfortunately there is no detailed list of the changes that were made this time around. Feel free to post anything you notice in the comments along with your thoughts on how good of an update it turned out to be. A few of the names checked on so far are Joe Flacco going up to an 84, Chad Johnson dropping to 92, Kurt Warner raised to 95, LaDainian Tomlinson down to a 95, and Michael Turner up to 95. Its also nice to see John Carlson get some credit after having such a great year and never receiving a boost as he goes from 79 to now being an 89.

    doesnt reallymatters on the stats all that much. It still comes down to the player controlling the teams. No one will ever be completly happy with any result. yeah some changes suck, some are great. Lets look at playability, graphics, controlls, looks feel, worry about some bs stats by a few points. Those that have follwed madden since the 90's know that their have been tremendous changes. Way better than 2-3 yrs ago even. Relax, play hard and give EA some credit, not like your not going to go out and get M10 anyways, so stop crying, and play hard.

  • skins fan
    can someone tell me the overall changed for the skins plz also dallas if u want(cant stand em)
  • MITCH
    Redskins need to release S.Moss , Randle El , M Washington , Springs , R. Thomas , and Griffin . Moss had one big game 4 years , hes been in a downwards spiral ever since . Randle Els making 30 million WTF !! M.Washington has been then sole purpose for Jason Witten making the Pro Bowl the last few years , Witten OWNS him. R. Thomas, i dont hear much about him , but i rarely see big runs going up behind him, its usually off tackle left when Portis does damage. Springs cant stay healthy , he's definiteyl above average when he is healthy though, 17 games in 3 years , equals time to part ways ! Same with Griffin , but even when healthy he is not dominant , never will be as it looks thus far . Neither of these players are dominant , and there in the top 8 or so salaries on our roster. WHY ARE THEY GETTING PAID SO MUCH MONEY TO BE A REDSKIN?? We need better player evaluation without a doubt !!
  • ken
    moss has torn the cowboys apart twice a year for 4 years, terrance newman has to wear a santanna jersey on mondays! Also see the saints game, cards game, the punt return td....santanna doesnt even make that much but hes worth every penny
  • Read this haha
    49ers got shafted..... i was excited when i read updates for all teams not just playoff teams.... im not saying all of there players should go up,,, just Shaun Hill... cant argue with that.... and jason hill our WR hes a 76... and way better than that like 80 common. and one other would be our O line... kinda underrated, only reason gave up hella sacks is because of JT o Sullivan cant make a decision to throw the ball. Shaun Hill needs to go up.... Wr Jason Hill, they had a connection,.... just let me get shaun hill at least in madden 2010. patrick willis did go to a 98 tho... A men, best in the league. no question
  • ken
    he did shaun hill is rediculous @ 88/87 campbell is a 91/84 and is 5 times the qb hill is and i love using hill hes good but 88/87 is more than fair
  • Jacob
    I have my CB's rated as

    #1 Asomugha 99
    #2 Samuel , Bailey 97
    #3 Mathis 96
    #4 Finnegan , Winfield , Newman 94
    #5 Taylor , MCalister , 93
    #6 Harris , Revis 92
    #7 Gamble , Webster 91

    Trufant , Springs , Hobbs 90....


    Is this right wrong?
  • Mitch
    Lynch and Barber could switch teams and no one would know the difference . Both should be close to equal in all attributes but power & trucking . Barber is hands down more powerful . But not by far.

    Barber 90 < behind a line built to run , makes more plays .
    Lynch 88 < behind Barbers line i think he would mirror what Barber does.
  • vfdvfdsdfvfdbdsf
    COMEDY how Lynch is an 86? ROFL.
  • ken
    yea i know hes not even that good...
  • ken
    ^sorry meant without an int, i was pissed so wrote quickly
  • ken
    glad to see EA listened to me about comparable roster ratings...I am a skins fan so this may seem a little bias but fuck it eas ratings of the skins reflect a 6-10 team NOT 8-8. I have been writing about Jason Campbells throw accuracy rating needing to go up, as both of the skins backups had much higher accuracy ratings (brennan [rookie] 88, tood collins 92 at the games release date last august) since then campbell set a franchise mark for consecutive passes without an incompletion, which ranks 5th ALL TIME (not in the league but all time, of anyone to play the game of football for 70 years) not only that he also set a franchise record td : int ratio (for those of you doing your homework that means higher than mark rypen, sonny jergunson, and brad johnson in their PRIMES) so i finally downloaded the roster update last night glad to see shuan hill ratings went up remarkably for the niners, shaub went down, and garrard went way down. So with much anticipation im expecting to see the 89 to 90 range on campbell if hill is an 88 and a commenserate rating for the number 4 defense in the league. EA you never fail when it comes to disapointment. Instead of raising campbells accuracy to a starting caliber nfl quarterback, much less one in the nfc east (that beat the 2 best teams in the NFC - ari once eagles twice) they lowered collins so the crime doesnt seem as bad. Heres the funny thing todd collins hasnt takin a snap all year! I didnt know riding the pine would cost him to go from a 92 to an 82 accuracy. Campbell breaks franchise records, cements a place in the nfl history books and apparently our rookie, brennan, who played all of 8 quarters in preseason, throws more accurately with an 88. PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME HOW THAT MAKES ANY SENSE ON ANY OF THOSE! If that wasnt bad enough I continued to scroll the positions discovering Mike Sellars is now a 92 overall, but they didnt put any logic into the rating as his agility is less than our dlineman, i dont know about you but ive never seen demetric evans hurdle anyone! Lets move on to WR, santanna has always been a handjob @ 88 but that wasnt the biggest disaster, Devin Thomas is a 71 Malcolm Kelly 75. Note to EA Malcolm Kelly played 2 games this year and didnt score a TD, thomas did and didnt drop 5 balls either, plus they are both better than james thrash who is currently the 3rd best wideout behind antwaan butterfingers randel el (most drops on the season of all wideouts). Though i did find chris samuels being rated so high hysterical to the point i almost pissed myself, Again note to EA he may have made the probowl but he had more false starts, holding penalties, and sacks allowed than the rest of the oline COMBINED! Now i can finally move on to the defense, thank you for not shitting all over Jason Taylor, you should have but thanks for not doing it cus that leaves this space open to rip you for hall. Act like he had 5 ints this year. Act like hes been to 2 probowls, and please up his awareness so its higher than smoot GOOD GOD hes going to be our starter and in our 4th ranked D scheme he will go back next year. Im glad the ratings are done for the year so because im terrified theyll take my advice but instead of raising hall theyll lower smoot, instead of rasing campbell theyll lower brennan and instead of raising hb blades theyll lower fletcher, who ran down westbrook from behind so either westbrooks an 80 something speed or fletcher needs to go up next year Id love to hear any response to this because these are piss poor ratings, ive been a madden player since 93 but if they cant get the ratings to make logical sense im switching to 2k when they come back....
  • Mitch
    Im a Skins fan myself , and to be honest our whole system sucks . I dont think it matters whos on our team or ranked what , Dan Snyder needs to either become Jesus or get out of washington . Until then will be paper champs for years to come. Hell were paper champs every year! The Cowboys are now becoming the paper champs of the league which is A OK with me .These people arent wirth a quarter % of what theyve made off the Redskins , S Moss , Randle El , Smoot both tenures , Griffin , R Thomas , M Washington , J Taylor , and Springs . Every player listed is nothing close to dominant . Not even in spirts. I hope we have replacements for every single one of these guys. They do absolutely nothing to win ball games , how could it hurt to go younger with men more hungry . Springs cant stay healthy , but when he is , he is one of the best . Let them ALL GO !!!!!!!
  • ken
    wow your high snyders got more $$ than jesus and doesnt mind spending it im all for it. And dont knock santanna hes been the highlight of the last 4 years, smoooooooooooooooooooot ive always liked and hes solid too, not as good as hall but still solid, springs is a lockdown corner 8 games of the year so itd be wise to keep him the llineman and marcus i could do without though....
