Despite EA taking three weeks off from Madden 10 roster updates I wanted to keep this going since it makes it easier to track performances as the weeks go on. Now halfway through the season there are only two undefeated teams though the Colts appear vulnerable due to defensive injuries. On the other end of the spectrum is the Giants who have now lost four straight games and should see that reflected in the ratings when the time comes.

Cedric Benson has now rushed for over 100 yards against the Ravens in both games this year. He is the only RB to rush for 100+ on Baltimore in the last 43 games. He has to be considered one of the best RBs in the league now and deserves a rating in the 90s. Matt Forte is rated an 88, just one point less than Benson, and he has only gone over 100 yards once this year. Clinton Portis is rated a 92 and has only crossed the century mark once as well. Chris Johnson has been unbelievable with 491 yards in just his last three games. He now has the rushing lead ahead of Benson. He should be moving up from his 90 rating.

David Hawthorne has played great in place of Lofa Tatupu and he legitimately could be the best player on the Seahawks defense. In the three games Hawthorne has two sacks, recorded 33 tackles, and has picked off three passes but is only rated a 71. Vince Young hasn’t been great statistically but he has done well enough to help the Titans win their first two games of the season. He’s sure to receive at least a small bump from his 71. Meanwhile Matt Leinart can’t even be trusted in mop-up-duty time and is a 73.

Injury wise from this weekend the next update will include Chris Henry, Thomas Davis, Marlin Jackson, and Bob Sanders hitting the IR. Chris Chambers was released and is now with the Chiefs and Edgerrin James has been released. Larry Johnson has been sent off as well and may be with a new team by the time the next update arrives.

BIG DADDY LANE

Although Carolina record doesn't say good things, but their Defense has improved. More so, the passing defensive game. Ranking #1 and now #6. There is no one person who stands out but the overall passing coverage is playing better than rushing defense. Now the run defense has improved but we aren't going there. Offensively, the running game has to receive a update. More so with the the offensive line in the run department. Williams and Stewart have taken over the primary mission to make the Panthers a winning team. Williams in the last 4 games has produce over 598 yards alone. If this doesn't say something then we should retool our preformance ratings.

saints entire defense needs a boost, they are still playin good even though injuries to both starting DT's and starting OLB. and Colston should get a small boost. Thomas is a beast….8-0 show some respect

Brett

am i the only one that watches the steelers week by week and watches how amazing rashard mendenhall is, second year player and he can hit holes like the best backs in the league today. he can make a 10-15 yard run become a 25-30 yard run i mean willie parker last year complained the steelers game isnt like steeler football i guess its cause he sucks because rashard mendenhall is making our team look like the steelers with his ability to juke spin and truck he should get a NICE rating boost i mean hes had big games 150 yards 166 yards hes amazing and madden just looks over him they criticized our whole o-line last year because of the running game and we basically got the same people and we look AMAZING i love the steelers for a repeat this year!

The Burglar

Yup, agreed 100%. Rashard is pretty much being disrepected in the game. However, even though he should get a boost, I would say in the mid 90's or anything. He still needs to prove himself with holding onto the ball.

Ernie Sims is a beast… Why is going down every update? He has been playing hurt all season, that shouldn't be held against him. They have been platooning he and Levy due to a nagging shoulder injury. Now he's out with a torn hammy for at least a month, is he going to go down more now for being hurt? He at least plays hurt… Bob Sanders doesn't even play football in the NFL anymore and hardly ever goes down. Geeze

hey donny vernon davis speed at the combine was 4.38 granted you got him the fastest tTE in the game , but he is a beast his speed should be at least in 93- 94 range, dont believe me check his combine time 4.38 officially thats faster than alot of WRs. Dashon goldson now calls the plays for the secondary so he should at lest get a AWR boost. Last but not least our Dline should get a boost among the best fronts in the league, well on their way to being elite

i came to a conclusion that having weekly updates in madden is not a great idea but it should be every 4 weeks…. if i was ea i would fix every nfl player as accurately and fairly as possible for the next season and then every 4 weeks make the ajustments that are necessary for each teams players…. because that way its easy to keep up and also… because of a 4 week gap between updates there shouldnt be too many major up grades and down grades to each teams players…. good idea huh?

BenSON

How can you be leading the rushing in the nfl for most the year with what was suppose to be a shitty o-line and people still saying benson dont deserve a ratings boost? MAKES NO SENSE.. He was picked overal 4th in the draft was a beast at texas. People are ignorant and only looking out for the interest of their own team.

the eagles offense needs some love even though they lost today. mcnabb threw for 450 yards and 2 tds. avant definatley needs a boost, finally broke out with 156 rec yards. maclin and desean both need a little bump. might as well bump up celek too. if it wasnt for bad red zone play calling eagles would have won easily.

Favre is the #1 rated passer in the NFl. He needs to go way up in ratings in all aspects of his game. Sidney Rice also needs major increases, the guy is one of the top wide outs in the NFL. I don't understand why EA is so rough on the Vikings.

racerx

Now that is very true. Why hasn't Brette gone up yet? Romo sure enough went up and I hope they take away stats since he is now returning to novermber romo lol…. Im a giants fan btw…

rivers, vjax and floyd should all see boosts. rivers and vjax are unstoppable, yes today jackson was held to 1 catch but this was by design, with vjax drawing double teams on 25 plays he was used to open to field for ladanian tomlinson who had a big game and antonio gates. Floyd is a starter now and plays well, i think his rating should be 80, also tolbert should have an increase because hes been getting more plays than jacob hester, and is a better fullback

The problem I have with folks talking about dropping is these guys who have been doing great for years but after a bad couple of games dropping HALL OF FAME PLAYERS like their career means nothing. TO for starters a 1st ballot HOF and since he cant block and throw the ball to himself he goes down really. Then dropping the Ravens defense because they dont have corners and Benson ran for 100 yards twice. Isnt this the first year that has happened in what 10 years….WOW. Lowering LT because his line cant rush block but are used to pass blocking now. HOFamers should not go down past 90 overall until they show a decline on their own accord. Since LT is so bad the why cant sproles rush too.
And Mendenhall beasting really. So running against DBs make you a beast. Steelers are running out of a passing formation. Their line doesnt have to go against linebackers but DBs so yes the running game looks good. Who here posting has really played so legit football and not pop warner. A 200+ pound back better win agains a 180 lb DB.

Just please fis the gameplay 1st and formost. This other stuff is nit picky. When someone covering the flats in shaded blue that's all. The game is all about scheme. I use the Buc to crush anyone who uses the Raiders. The 49ers to beat cowboy players. Please the patch ………please……and just 4 updates a season and a boosts for playoff teams and that's it. If the Cowboys come out in pink jerseys I dont care as long as the gameplay is right on.
As soon as the patch is out the psn id is the same as the name. Anyone can get it. I dont RC. I dont do hurry up offense until 4th quarter or until u do it. holla

And if Brett Farve isnt rated as the top 5 QB these ratings are a sham. HE's 40(can u imagine your dad playing football but actually in the NFL with a 8-1 team. And also putting up numbers comparable to Brees, Manning, And Brady. Check the stats he making S. Rice a beast. If he had 6TDs you would be saying Fitz who Andre What). HE looks like he could go another 5 years and he's a what 80 something overall(WTF) a 1ST ballot HOF with the most passing yards, TD, etc.
Their should be an age limit on being able to post. If you are posting about who should go up on a losing team(really got to be kidding) but you should in the same breath have someone on your team going down. Because if that person was doing so good then why is your team losing.
I am a die hard cowboys fan that hardly ever uses my team(dont want to jinx them and I can honestly say they are playing above what's expected but do not need a boosts really because when the team has to go up against a team with 2 good DBs the GREAT AUSTIN AND WILLIAMS still have shown up in Greeen BAY. The TE cant be your best WR. Sorry fellas just reading these comments sent me overboard.
