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 agree, selling Madden 10 this weekend. Tired of Madden…Bring Back NFL 2k! Every year Madden gets worse because it has no competition. Look at NBA Live and NBA 2K, they get better every year because they compete with each other. Sad, just sad…

    here we go again with this bs how r we going to to go from rosters update weekly on 09 and now twice a month or "as needed " they need to use a dna system like live

    • Yours Truly

      They can't have a dna system there is no way to keep stats & tendencies on all NFL players like you can with NBA. What NFL players do depend on the game plan not personal preference.

    Not only that, but the update left off three Dolphins players. I would like a real roster before I start my franchise, but it looks like I will have to wait another week.

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/Skihawks Skihawks

      There is a "real" roster. The final roster has already been released. I cannot believe people are up in arms because a roster update is not available after one week. That is the fucking joke.

      Christ, I remember when there weren't roster updates. People need to quit bitching. You don't like the current roster, fix it yourself (not meaning you, James — People in general).

      Want to know what pain is? Go buy an Atari 2600, hell you need not go back that far. Go back to Madden 2001 on the PS2 (arguably one of the best Madden's in the past 10 years) and tell me about roster updates…There weren't any…

        People may seem like there bitching but there really just paying more attension to detail then Ea is right now. I’ll give you a few examples, see alot of people would do these updates themselves but in there are sometimes you can’t, I am missing 3 players on my team one of them has never played the other two have, the one that has not played I dont know what to rate but I know he will be a force becuase he is 6’8″ 310 on defense and coache by Rex Ryan but I cant go to a previous game to make because there is no stats on him. In the case of the other two players Andre Allison I can make he was in the game however Steve Weatherford I cant because Ea didnt give enough space to fit his name in the game I can only get to Weatherfor, you see thats what frustrates people about Madden we know Ea can be better then that, I remeber Roethlisberger first came into the league I had the same problem creating him I could only get to Roelisberg, that frustrated me back then they should have fixed that by now. I understand why Ea wouldnt to alter ratings right now because it will take games then that to figure out the NFL but they could have at least made sure this week they got all transactions done at least, and until people can import rosters from there downloaded roster into there Franchise while being able to keep there same stats so they dont have restart your franchise to get your exact players because you cant create a player in franchise mode either, until then people should challenge Ea and not be told that they are idiot or whatever else because Ea has the capabuillities to fix all this right now and they just haven’t and lots of times these games get old quick because of it unless you have brothers or friends who join you in a season. I still love the game and I like the direction Ian brought it in but all fans know there is alot of room for improvement. Sorry I wrote so much.

        • http://intensedebate.com/people/Skihawks Skihawks

          That is a well thought out response and I agree with that. I just get tired of reading, "Fuck EA, EA Sucks, blah, blah, blah" because of a roster update that will come in week 2 instead of week 1.

          My whole point is that people take for granted that roster updates are even feasible. I just get the sense that no one appreciates what we have access to as gamers and cursing a publisher / developer is ridiculous.

          The other thing is people are assuming EA doesn't want to fix this or that. I have never developed a game but who knows how long the process take to fix "simple" things. How do we know that they don't have these issues fixed but need approval from Sony or MS to release the updates?

          Many people assume what they do not know….

          • Tyler D

            I understand what you mean by simple fixes are not that simple. But defending EA on this one is not about just the roster updates. My friends and I are up in arms that they do sloppy work on almost all their games. What did they mess up this year in Madden? The online franchise. Sure, it is new and a great idea, but why make it without the salary cap? Salary cap is part of football, it is what separates football from other sports. I like that they incorporated the idea that it is harder for weaker franchises to sign big name FAs or things like that. Make the game a little more realistic. But then they ruin what is the next step (Competing against friends or strangers for the best franchise with your favorite team). If you want to take control of a franchise, then I want the responsibility of the money too. Now with the no roster update, EA looks lazy. I would probably not play Madden if there was another football game to play (I miss NFL 2K5).

      First, you can't expect people to do the work for roster updates that the company is expected to provide.

      But regardless of that you can't make changes to the rosters that are used for online play.

    I personally think this is a good idea. I actually don't want them updating it until 3 or 4 weeks have gone by. As far as Delhomme goes, he's a veteran QB who's shown he's a good QB in the past. I seriously don't think he deserves to be downgraded much until he shows us that he has truly lost it over the course of a few games.

    As much as I, living in Denver, would LOVE to see Jay Cutler downgraded to a "55" for his performance last Sunday night, i'll give him the benefit of the doubt for a few weeks. Everyone can have a shitty game. It doesn't mean they are a shitty player.

    • leo

      actually cutler is overated whats his rating again 88 or 89 i think. He didnt even do that well last year to deserve that. I would of put him at a 84 until proven otherwise and also they could just do minor changes like injuries and depth chart changes every week and then update player rating but instead a half ass job twice a month.

    • Deeunit

      Good job EA! Obviously, there is absolutely no way to rate an individual player on one weeks performance. Regardless of all the negative feedback from these idiots, this is the correct and realistic way to handle rosters.

    First of all, EA doesn't have to update the rosters at all. They never did on any of the older systems, they don't have to now.

    Second, a lot of people wanted unnecessary and ridiculous changes made to player ratings. Didn't you read your own thread Pasta? How can you say most people wouldn't expect a ton of changes? Most of those posts were ridiculous requests about how so and so looked good on Sunday, he should be rated higher, blah , blah, blah.

      that is the point of updates…. and we paid 60 dollars for this shit and 8 dollars a month for xbox live!!!! they better fix and upgrade this damn game on a regular

      • Scott

        your paying Microsoft $8 a month for xbox live, not EA.

        Games have cost $50-60 for generations now, and they didn't get updates. EA does not have to update the rosters at all.

        In fact, with the way things are going don't be surprised if they charge us for roster updates in the future…

    • Dominic

      Scott that is true Ea doesn’t really have to updates roster but they started it and now they have made there own bed so they should be better at it now, plus they didnt update roster s before because they didn’t have the capabuillities to do so.

      Scott, you're an idiot. Of course they didn't update on the older systems; because it wasn't possible without xbox live. Madden is a NFL football simulator, and in order for that to hold up, rosters should be updated (for a lot of people, because some people don't like it because their favorite players might be in the hospital [Grow a pair nancies]). and to whoever said games have been $50-60 for generations…. WTF? Are you on crack?

    Mo Diddley approves EA with waiting a few week to do roster updates in regards to their ratings but they could at least make the rosters current. The last thing we want EA to do is make Dallas WR's all 90's just from 1 game. Everyone knows that Ian and his boy's (I like Madden 10 a lot but I have to call it like it is) have a fixation with Dallas. I hear it on their video's I hear it on their podcast so their is a definite gravitation to boost Dallas ratings.

    Also Pasta where is that coveted Patch #1 that was suppose to come out since last week?

    Mo Diddley the inquisitive mind!

    Mo Diddley approves EA with waiting a few week to do roster updates in regards to their ratings but they could at least make the rosters current. The last thing we want EA to do is make Dallas WR's all 90's just from 1 game.

    i really dont care about ratings. just put missing players in the next update. also this "as needed" shit sound like ea might try to get away without the weekly update like last year. and this shit about charging for the DLC, thats 7 bucks ea wont catch from me, move on to the next chump.

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/Mo_Diddley Mo_Diddley

      Yeah I agree with you Mo DIddley could care less about alternate jersey's. I'm good with opening day rosters (as most of the players are with a team or FA pool) and the 1st patch. I don't need any of the extra bells and whistles that they added this year. Why would I pay a $1 to bring back a guy who's on the IR? That's why you play a franchise for realism.

      Mo Diddley the you got my 1st 60 bucks but you won't get another .99 cents from me-er!

    I actually dont have an issue with this….weekly, there were instances where players were given high ratings unnecessarily…and these things kind of skewed the experience. Monthly, or Quarterly(in NFL terms)….is much more appropriate.

    Pasta, how is it that the Madden team doesn't update the photos when they update the rosters?

    There are a lot of guys who made a team who were not expected too before the season that are without their face pics. Just something simple I have been meaning to ask. It's not a game changer for me just kind of interesting that they do not add their pics with the roster update.

      I dont know. Either its not possible through updates or it just isn't high priority.

    Pasta I totally agree with you. How could they just update the roster "as needed"? That would be totally wrong if they just update when they think they should instead of weekly updates. I agree with Mo_Diddlyey also, EA owns the freaking rights to NFL likeness why can't they just upload photos from espn.com? I am sick of seeing generic photos, etc. They need to step up their game.

    • Dominic

      Or how come ea can’t give us the option of inserting Photoes into the game or updating Stats for player Like Brett Favre and Michael Vick, we can almost change everthing and anything to a player but not those things come on now!

    Only thing i wanted to see was the addition of Mario Haggan to the Bronco's. Other then that i'm fine with the Roster the way it is.
