No Madden 10 Roster Update This Week

There will be no Madden 10 roster update this week according to Donny Moore. The message left in the rosters and ratings forum below announced this earlier today.

We don’t like to react prematurely to performance issues so we don’t plan to update the rosters this week. We will be back next week with a comprehensive update that includes key performance changes as well as any major depth chart adjustments. Looking ahead, we plan to update the rosters as needed throughout NFL season. Expect several updates per month as we evaluate player and team performance each week. Feel free to give me feedback via the forums or through Twitter to help shape the final roster.

The idea that ratings changes shouldn’t be made because of the opening week really doesn’t fly though. I don’t think many people would be asking for or expecting changes based solely on one game. However there are players who went into the season over or under rated or with big question marks surrounding them and solidified those opinions with their performances in week one. Jake Delhomme is a great example of that. Should he have been an 80 going into the season which puts him as better than 13 other team’s starting QBs? After week one the answer there is clear as he is only starting out of necessity. Then you have significant injuries such as the loss of Brian Urlacher for the season that will not be represented in the game until the next update comes.

The consistency of weekly roster updates is important and “as needed” has such vague meaning that there could be several different opinions on when an update would be “needed” vs when it wouldn’t be deemed the changes weren’t important enough. The message from Donny Moore is contradicting in that is mentions several updates per month and evaluations on a weekly basis but also states they will be “as needed”. Producing the updates weekly not only makes it easier to keep up with the changes but also provides more accurate rosters throughout the season.

i think u guys should make guys like Steven Jackson, Chris Johnson,Sidney rice,Phillip rivers and more.these are guy who are having good season and they should have better rating in the game.

Dean

I have a question.. For PS3 can I get roster updates for madden 2009 still? or is that not possible anymore because of Madden 10?

rod

wow well it really dont matter this wek anyways they did alot last week on the roster update everybody relax

ReelDeel

and i do meen CORRCTLY, im that close to not using E or A in my future ever again!!!!!!!!!

ReelDeel

1st off, if they get payed to do nothing, why keep saying they dont have to do anything!!
I've been more accurate since 98", matter fact yall took my idea and ran with it...lol anyway
now u running where no one cares, rating changes...WTF, its based on the year before STATS!
2nd that should never change, IR...i play and my players get injured by themselves, no Xtra help
needed. this aint DNA so dont take football there, i dont care if they break a pinky!!!(hand) W.eva
all this downgrading veterans...Do u know how long it takes to be called one!!?!!
just Marvin Harrison! and any vet that is not Starting should be decreased. Yeah i aint say 98 for nada.
its a difference between fans and players," if nfl players dont have say so ...figure the rest out carefully
fans need to continue sitting in the stanZ or at home.watching!
I prefer to have my game with its best players as far as ratings starting,!.
not my left guard was better than the starter so he gets to start with a 65 rating and the 85 on the bench! figure it out it aint hard. that goes for every position.
IF U NEED SOMEBODY TO THE JOB CORRCTLY , yall may hire me gladly , and pay me
1/2 less then whoever u have in charge now ! since yall are so great at saving money to
buy worthless features! phew but my offer will stay on the table until........................................................

You are right I saw that on espn about all three guys. The Ravens should have a higher rating on madden.

A Fan

Going in to week three the Ravens are no. 1 in ranking and Joe Flacco is on the MVP watch list but on Madden he has no deep passing or mid passing skill. An in the media they call him air flacco on madden he is pick flacco. and McGahee is tied for the NFL lead in TDs with Adrian Peterson and Frank Gore. And on madden speed is 85 should be at lease a 90 or 89 and is said to be one of the strongest backs in the nlf this year and is second behind peterson in broketackles. but guess what on madden his overall rating is 83 trunking is 89 not in the 90's and gets walked down by d-ends. come on EA. One more thing Ray Lewis Name best Mid LB in he NFL is not overall 99, speed 83 should at lease 86. he has not lost a step but only EA thinks he as because he is older.what is that you do not have to lower his speed because he is getting older if he is fast at 34 he is fast at 34. come on EA

Onlyagamefags1

dang stop bitchin about a game if you dont like it then dont play but dont sit here and bitch and moan about EA basically not sucking your D!*% and being there to hold your hand when you cant get through life without madden. Damn get off yalls rags already the updates will come out when they come out and if you dont like the game then get over it.. EA your doing a good job.
Its called its In the game Not Its Your Life

2K14

this is why they need competition...were all in they hands cause they have the NFL license...they advertised updates, so they need to deliver

zeus

Jets Defense needs a major upgrade... the LBs are WAAAAAY too slow. Harris and Scott should be in the mid to low 80s in speed

ReDD

I think the updates should be weekly, BUT only when it comes to players injured, trades, etc. and not based on how a player did on one game. I think player stats should be updated every 3 weeks and, as I said before, important roster updates weekly.

superdynamite

Because they don't want to sink the PARTIOTS to where they should be. 89

optimusp76

madden needs a patch very bad cause the game sucks ass it looks good but plays terrible guys breaking gang tackles and guys not blocking the blocking in the game is so terriable words cant describe it and the control is even worse E A Sports cant do football games 2k we need u bad cant wait till 2012 hopefully E A and ian cummings dont renew it because this is just bad u need a person from 2k to teach u how to make a game yall did it for live bring m wang over and live is looking very good so do yall math i am never buying madden ever again period i will play this madden until the patch comes out hopefully they fix the problems but this is E A we talking about the biggest liars in business

blondeviking64

Im getting sick of all the unrealistic crap everyone keeps spewing. Of course its unrealistic, its a game. I can tell you with 100 percent truth that MOST players (when I say most I mean people who dont make their living playing football or coaching it) dont have any idea what is or isnt unrealistic football anyways. I swear I am already getting sick of the NFL network generation. Because you watched NFL network you suddenly understand the subtly of a linemans stance. Or the footwork of a running back on inside zone versus outside zone. Or how the LBs key on the rbs footwork, and how offenses use that to create false reads. Or the difference between the zone concepts run in houston versus the ones run in minnesota or the ones not run in Oakland at all. I cant see the QBs eyes when I play as a LB in madden to read a route. ITS A GAME AND BECUASE OF THAT IT CANT BE REALISTIC. Someone once asked me if being a football coach made me better at madden. The answer is no because madden doesnt use the rules of biomechanics, physics, or logical analytical thought that must be taken into account by real coaches and players. Madden is a game that plays like a game, not like real football. Accept it and learn to enjoy the GAME.

t daley

The only thing I expect to see is both the defense for the Jets and the overall ratings for Mark Sanchez increase. The Jets D is beast.

PhillyPete

This game is a piece of shit. Fuck EA they suck

pat

c'mon ea im wating for that revis update..the dude shut down andre and randy moss..2nd best cb in the league

EA blows

I know most people dont care about ps2 or the lions, I live in Michigan and its my home team so I have to deal with it. What I am so god awful pissed about is I cant play my madden game yet the rosters are so terrible there is no point then I get online to play a game and wtf is the point omg I might as well just play 09 my rosters were more accurate there. I meen I bought the game like 2 months ago and I still cant start my franchise. Has anyone even looked at the ps2 rosters???Look at the lions I meen half the team is missing. I am so fkin pissed about this I cant even express myself I could do every team roster myself in 2 days so wtf EA, but Im not going to because the ps2 rosters even with the update are so fking bad there is no point until I at least get the opening day rosters, thats all I need to play I can edit everyone myself but for fck sake man at least give me opening day rosters.

Matt

Who really uses a PS2 anymore? I have an idea, stop being a cheap skate and update your system!

EA blows

Cheap lol your hilarious, I have kids and bills Im not spending 400 dollars just so I can play madden and besides that me and my friends get together and make ourselfs on the lions and we play together on the same team, you cant do that with the next gens Matt maybe if they fixed it I would buy one, and Im talking about multi players in franchise mode why dont u shut the fck up not all of us have parents to buy that stuff for us and deny it all you want I bet your parents bought it for you and I do have a 360 you tool some people are retarded and wtf does your statement have to do with the total shittynes of the update rosters the sent out look at them before you speak you ignorent ass.

Ebenezer

I hope they include Marrio Hagan and Steve Weatherford, the abscences of these two players is holding my franchise up.

Ebenezer

What about Steven Weatherford added to the Jets? Or Mario Haggan to the Broncos?

Sean

I liked how it was 2 years ago when they did roster updates every 3-4 weeks, it would give you something to look forward to and it would be based on consistancy and not a one week career game like some of these no names have, hell according to some Eldeman from the Pats should be rated as high as Welker from just one game.

sean is a beast

update sean smith asap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NYG_Meadowlands

I know it might sound like I'm just another loyal fan who thinks their team should be the best, but the Giant's WRs, Steve Smith and Mario Manningham (especially Manningham) need big roster updates. I can see Smith around an 82 and Manningham a 78.

Football Guy

WOW! Some people care way too much about a video game. Just be happy they do anything at all about the game. They don't have to patch it or release updates to the roster at all. I think every two weeks is probably the best anyway....for those that play online it would be annoying to have update it weekly and have drastic changes to your line up. In the past EA has overrated players based their stats I mean heck if they did a roster update for this week Michael Huff would be probably have an awareness of 90 because he had two picks and played very well. Kurt Warner would have a 98 accuracy because he only threw 2 incomplete passes. Two weeks to three weeks is the way to go here in my opinion. Better to update a players abilities based off of consistent performance than just one bad/good game. Just a shame the season is so short.

Ovr23

I love how guys like Warner, Delhomme and Cutler redeemed themselves today. It looks like Donny and them had the right idea in not jumping the gun on increases and decreases after week 1.

giants fan

Mario Manningham needs to be updated and so does steve smith wawt about eli beautiflu passing all i got to say u saw the same game i saw

dutlee

dont upgrade any of the giants just make the cowboys dbs suck

southpaul15

i love my texans, but holy cow.. i think ea needs to give chris johnson from the titans an 100 spd and bump his catching and his OVERALL RATING.. he had me at the edge of my seat the whole game! this dude is probably the best running/passing threat ive seen in many years.. though the titans are 0-2 they have something to be proud of in that young man........

Tensley

I have question when I turn on my ps3 to play Madden NFL 10 online a message comes on screen which says the playstation network an error has taken place. I have been signed out of the Playstation Network (80031606) and does not allow me to play the game. Please provide the help which I need for the game please.

Mr. Biggs

sounds like your disc is fucked up

Joe

Warner broke the completion percentage in one game record so I don't think he is going down now [24 out of 26, 2 TD's, 92.3% completed].

jkeyes337

EA needs to update the roster soon because without a doubt, Mike Bell deserves the biggest boost of all. The saints are showing that they are alot better than their 75 overall rating

Bryant

If they make the updates much more comprehensive I'll be happy. If they keep it alot like they did last year where they would slack off on some updates for several at a time then there will be a huge problem.

OVal

Ratings mean nothing. Only speed edits should be made.

Parker

I love when people get all upset over a roster update. Seriously if it matters that much do it yourself!

dano

yes ma'am
