Madden Taking Three Weeks of Roster Updates Off

EA Sports has now stated that the next roster update for Madden 10 will not be coming until November 20th. That means there will have been a three week gap between updates and just two updates in a five week span.

This is really disappointing news and any frustration is justified. While there will always be arguments as to players being over or underrated the updates this year have provided the best reflection of real life performance in the history of the franchise. This doesn’t just affect quick games and online games as anyone looking to start a franchise or online franchise won’t have the most up-to-date rosters available. Consistency is even more important than happening every single week and now we don’t even have that.

A partially automated system like NBA Live has with the Synergy daily updates would not make sense for Madden. Games are played only once a week and stats are not the driving force behind many positions in football. But if EA can’t do manual roster updates on a consistent basis than maybe some other procedure needs to be considered.

As suggested in the comments a system where roster moves (IR, trades, cuts, signings, depth chart) were done on a weekly basis while the ratings were adjusted bi-weekly or even quarterly would be a reasonable compromise.

    all you posers suck left ones! you see all these posts complaining about the weekly update, that is why they stopped. America is full of whining ass crybabies who don't want to work and complain about everything. You guys will keep buying and EA will keep selling. Losers, just enjoy the update and learn some decency and common respect when you post. Maybe they won't be hesitant to do the updates.

    Enjoy the lay offs you fucking losers. Serves them right. You want to fuck over your customers, well guess what you get fucked too.

    The difference between us and those fucking losers in EA is-we can actually afford to buy a game.

    Enjoy eating government cheese with your foodstamps fuckwads.

    Maybe next time they will not lie to their customers again…and respect the fact we expect to get what we pay for.

    1500 lost their jobs this week and there will be more to go. Hope that faggot Donny Whore goes first. Fucking puke was owned on national TV for being a fucking LIAR.

    Kudos to all of you that don’t put up with this shit anymore. And you got to love the fags that defend a money grubbing fist fucking company like EA that does nothing but ruin the NFL brand.

    You damn right we are angry, this shit has gone on long enough.

    8============0 that is me…………this is EA 8=0 I love madden, but the clock running on incompletions is unacceptable!!!!!!!!!!!!Man, this is bull!!!!!And for all the people defending EA, suck it!!! I dont know why ur all on EA's jock, when they cant put out a game thats fun and realistic. This patch has got to fix ALL the mess ups so far. The roster updates are not a big deal for me, you can release people urself you lazy fucks…but this patch has got to come out soon and be very productive…
