While no statement has been made as to whether a roster update for Madden 10 will be delivered this week the hope would be there after taking last week off due to the Thanksgiving holiday. If there isn’t one this week that would make it only two updates in the seven weeks slipping into an area where a bad precedent of one update a month could be set.

Vince Young is now 5-0 as a starter and while he still hasn’t put up huge numbers he had led the team to those victories and was fantastic on the late game drive to win on Sunday. A bump up to about 80 from his current 75 would be justified. Certainly continuing to be rated behind QBs such as Matthew Stafford, Mark Sanchez, and Jake Delhomme would not be. Percy Harvin is only his way to winning Offensive Rookie of the Year and probably deserves to crack 80. Justin Forsett has proven what lots of fans already knew in that he is the best running back on the Seahawks. In his three games as a starter he has rushed for over 100 yards in two of them and had 80 yards receiving in the other. Sitting at 76 at the moment he should benefit from the next update.

There are two players who could make cases to be rated 99. Chris Johnson is only the third player in history to rush for 125+ yards in six straight games. He leads the league in rushing and average yards per carry. Steven Jackson and Adrian Peterson are not even close on his tail. Johnson has already moved up so much this season that there may be hesitation to place him at the pinnacle. However in the case of Drew Brees he will likely become a 99 again after having been there for a short period of time earlier this season and slipping down to 97. The Saints are undefeated and he is arguably the favorite to win MVP at the moment.

Players hitting the IR include Eugene Wilson, Shaun Rogers, Antonio Pierce, Brandon Pettigrew and Chris Cooley. The Saints will be receiving Mike McKenzie who stepped up big in the game against the Patriots. As always leave your thoughts in the comments on the players that deserve to move up or down in ratings based on their performance.

    You guys need to stop ignoring Mike Jenkins...

    Its good to see the NFL taking notice of talented smaller players. Just wish the announcers would. Everyone of those turds is in love with freakin Manning and Brady and Favre. Where's the love for Brees and McNabb? They just cant stand that Brees is only 6 ft tall. I dont' see the big deal, and I can't think of any other reason why Brees shouldnt be mentioned as an MVP, not just this year, but last year too. He is in my mind the best QB in the NFL. Why no love for him. the saints would be nowhere without him.
  • mike
    Main thing on Roy Williams is this: His RTE is WAY too high. My daughter can run better routes than him. Making that kind of dough, he should be able to run the whole route tree like an ace. he can't pure n simple. What a ripoff. I hate the eagles, but they sure scare the heck outta me. I'm having nightmares of seasons past. I can just see D. Jackson running rampant through our secondary. Hope that doesnt happen.
  • mike
    Roy williams on the other hand, he could drop a bit and it wouldnt hurt me. Ya, he's gettting better and romo is connecting with him a bit better, but he's not as good as Miles. If he doesnt improve and next year is uncapped, I expect him to be released. If its a capped year tho, the boys have to bite the bullett. thats too much dough that would be rolled into the cap for one year. I hope its uncapped. I hate that he has basically stolen money.
  • mike
    Miles Austin should go way up. He should be rated at 91 or so. His physical attributes are ok, but his RTE, CTH, CIT, and JMP should be higher, his elusiveness rating is good and adds to his yac, but I still think his BRK TKLs related ratings could use a boost as well. Granted, he is no A. Johnson or Larry Fitz, but an 84? Thats really low for someone who is consistently now putting up 7 catches for 150 and a touch per game. That is often against double coverages and safety overs, now that the league has caught onto his explosiveness. He torched the raiders, and they have the best corner in the game. Yah, I'm a lifelong cowboy fan, but i'm being realistic. I didnt say to make him a 99. Thats crazy. I want the game to be as realistic as possible. Thats not the case when Miles has an 84 rating.

    i'm thinking Favre should be a 95

    Manning, Brady, Brees and Favre are the best in the league.
  • Yep...per Twitter updates by EA's people, the next update is Dec. 11.

    Wonder when the patch will hit?
  • Will
    The patch will probly be out in two years.
  • Darrel
    yep.. i knew it, no update again this week. The next update will come next week.. fucking ea did it again...
  • adph
    Elvis Dumervil, Knowshon Moreno, and players like Andra Davis for the Denver Broncos need to be boosted, the Denver D slipped a little but E. Dumervil and K. Moreno have continued to put up good numbers consistantly throughout the year
  • ok Maurice Jones Drew has not been completely gettin the full respect he has deserved this season. He gets a touchdown in like everygame he plays in. always breaking off big runs. I think a strength and speed boost should be awarded. Also Ricky williams needs a speed boost as well, he's been too consistant and always breakin off big runs. And even the the steelers lost i feel dennis dixon should jump up to a 64 overall. and he did pull of a 30 plus yard scramble on the ravens defense. so an acceleration boost should be there. And Ray rice has been a monster for that ravens offense. Definitly springing into a young elite back, should have a decent boost as well.
  • Mike
    I know the Redskins have lost the last two games but you have played REALLY GOOD! Jason Campbell is playing well. Defense has played well w/o haynesworth... Especially Devin Thomas, Fred Davis, and Malcolm Kelly!
  • Darrel
    what are the chances that we won't get an update again this week?.. I'm thinking it's 45..
  • blondeviking64
    did you check the link? ha hasnt thrown enough passes to even be on that page. look foryourself. Saying he is a big reason they are winning would be overstating. He is outplaying Collins, but then again so is Freeman and many other traditionally sub-par QBs in this league. A one percent completion difference is pretty small when you have so few attampts. I dont see how im reading it wrong. It seems pretty strait forward. He isnt averaging 25.4 attempts per game. According to his page on NFL.com he is averaging 18 attempts per game- and that includes a 40 attempt game.
  • blondeviking64
    Im not sold on Henderson but Im thinking Meachem is a pretty good receiver and should certainly be around a 75.
  • blondeviking64
    Too high for both. much too high.
  • blondeviking64
    But to an 80? Please. He shouldnt be an 80 rated at all. LOL, i didnt know that games a plyer doesnt start dont count. Someone should tell the players! Looking at starts (LOL- i still cant beleive that the others dont count) he threw for 125, 172, 210- his first legit game-ish, 116 (lol on the big numbers like 116), and 387-a very good outing for any QB. So what I see here is mediocre, mediocre, average, a bit less than mediocre, and excellent. How can he be rated anything better than mediocre. If you compare his numbers to previous years (07 and 08) you will see that they are no better. He is the same guy he was before. Not better, not a great passer, not a good passer, a mediocre passer. I think his rating would be pretty good at a 77. Anything higher is preposterous for a guy who just doesnt do enough to earn it.
  • Jay24
    Ok, I give up... You don't make enough sense for me... You use the argument that his team doesn't trust him enough to let him throw... But the argument you use is that his average passes per game isn't enough to be official on NFL.com even though he has thrown 25 passes per game as a starter LOL. Mostly all the rest of your argument is based on how many yards he throws for... Cutler must be your idle? You also must think Marino is the greatest QB ever LOL

    210 is above average, 172 is average, and 387 is awesome. He's the same guy he was before? I don't remember this dude ever throwing for 387 yards, let alone going a whole game without an INT.

    All stats count, but for the sake of argument you cannot possibly use his 3 passes in one game and his 2 passes in another game as a good reason to say his coaches don't trust him to throw... That's Ridonkulous! His numbers this year crush 07 and 08... For you to say otherwise is preposterous LOL! Your logic is preposterous, this argument is Preposterous! Ok I'm done, good talk though
  • block
    ok you two fags stop flirting on pastapadre.com, for real, get a life
  • Jay24
    Your on pastapadre too you fuckin fagg... Shut your fuckin mouth
  • gdog232

    and yes i go by points a game
  • yoyoyo
    manningham isn't fast? what are you retarted...pay attention to more football wow!!!
  • Jay24
    As for Vince outplaying Collins, then again so is Freeman... There's no comparison so we can use this as an example. Look at Freeman's rating and his numbers in comparison to Vince Young's... Freeman 55%, 6.3 average, 76.5 qb rating. Vince's numbers kill that. That right there should substantiate the need for VY's drastic need for a rating increase.
  • Jay24
    As a starter son! As a starter! Take out the 2 freakin games that he came in relief of Collins. As a starter he's thrown 18, 19, 22, 25, and 43 times...
  • DJ Reisinger
    where is the love for dallas in here i mean a team thatw as predicted to go 7-9.. is 8-3 comming off a great thanksgiving game austin having another big game he def needs a boost felix now has the brace off and has his full speed back he needs a little bosst needs his 97 speed back from 09 and mike jenkins that guy has been a great man to man guy and has not got a boost all season i mean wtf come on ea and choice u down grade a guy that keeps making great plays when hes in the game thats not right show the boys some love romo should be 90 overall so if theres a update this week they need some love if they fail in dec then downgrade them but they have been winning and they deserve it
  • oo yea i say all of the packers defensive backs get a bump up

    plus al harris and aaron kampman placed on IR
  • players to raise:
    packers:jermichael finley, ryan grant, donald driver
    packers offenseive line has also picked it up

    niners: crabtree, alex smith, vernon davis

    raiders: defense needs love, its da offense that is struggling

    decrease:
    cowboys whole team should lose a few ratings...haha
  • The only problem I have with putting freeman in the 80's is VY. VY as a starter is 22 and 11. He's been to the playoffs with him under center. And also Rookie Of The Year. You cant give Freeman at 80 or even 78 with 4 games as a starter. While Vince has won 22 games and been to playoffs. they would have to make Vince a 85 and also dont forget Vince was a Top 5 pick. freeman 80 then Vince 85.
  • Look at the stats. Graham has more Punts inside the 20 yard line than Lee, and he has less Punts than Lee as well.

  • When ae they going to lower the Giants and Philly. Cowboys are the best team in the division and should show accordingly. And the Bengals have ran the Trifector and should show accordingly as the Best team in their division. Drop them Steelers.
  • Shawn
    Amen!
  • I hate to say but if Lienhart had did that they would have raised his. VY has a rocket arm but his THP is low. __
  • blondeviking64
    LOL, it would take a miracle to see Leinharts rating go up. The dude is a bust. He would have to have 3 or 4 games like that to warrant a raise Id say. Im not sure he should still even be in the NFL. At least VY has potential.
