There isn’t another Madden 10 roster update scheduled for until January 8th but it remains a good idea to keep tracking progress over the coming weeks. The last update left a lot to be desired so some corrections are already in store but there were also other developments to take a look at based on performance over the weekend.

The Patriots and Steelers somehow improved in the last roster update despite their troubles. Both Randy Moss (for lack of effort) and Adalius Thomas (benched) should see their ratings affected. The Steelers need some cuts across the board based on a five game losing streak which includes some teams they had no business losing to.

Bruce Gradkowski had been playing relatively well before his injury, cue JaMarcus Russell and disaster strikes again. He should really see his overall rating fall from 65 to the low 50s. Brian Orakpo had a big game tallying four sacks (11 now on the year) and a forced fumble, though it should be noted much of that had to do with Russell being in at QB. He should see a bump from his current 78 rating.

Chris Johnson keeps staking his claim for a 99 rating. Brandon Marshall broke the record by finishing with 21 receptions against the Colts. He may be outplaying his 93 rating. DeSean Jackson now has laid claim to the record for most TDs in a season over 50 yards with eight of them. He currently is rated an 87. He also had a spectacular punt return TD and it appears his speed will at least move up to 99.

As always leave your thoughts in the comments as to what players deserve an increase or decrease based on their performance!

    What's up with the people cheating on Madden. I played a guy last night. He was a level 21. He played the raiders and thought he could cheese his way to a victory doing the same cheap plays and blitzing. I annihilated him 14 to 42. He kept pausing the game and didn't want a mercy quit. Then all of a sudden the game just stopped. The game didn't mess up or freeze. It just stopped. I figured he was doing some router stuff so I left the game on for quite a long time and it just stayed stalled. When I finally came back to the game, I had been removed from the game for excessive delays. I checked his online record afterwards and he didn't even have a lost. What's up with that.

    Just some points on the niners, Defense needs to go up! and Goldson…. he needs to get some love all around, why is he rated so slow? Vernon davis' catch in traffic and spect. catch needs to go up… he catches and hangs onto more catches while getting smoked in the air more than anyone in the league. Up there with wes welker for sure.
    Alex smith throwing power needs to go up! he has very underrated arm strength, accuracy on the other hand…. that's about right.
    Crabtree…. he has been playing great…. progressing every week. this guy is going to be great.
    And lets see some gore love with making the cards D look like a high school team trying to take him down.

    oh yeah, btw… VD…. looking to break Gates record for most td's in a season…. if he does so, i expect him to be rated at least a 98 in 2011…. and ahmad brooks is the real deal, the guy is fricking faaast and explosive.

    - Vincent Jackson needs a boost on where he's at.
    - Rivers still needs to be at least a 94 or 95. Sure he has thrown a few int's here and there, but he's still a very accurate passer.
    - Carson Palmer needs an increase as well.
    - Bengals run D needs a bump up. -Miles Austin and Romo have been a good team, they need at least a 2 point increase.
    - Without a doubt Freeman needs a boost. Not that bad of a QB.

    Matt Moore needs to go up to at least a 69-70 ovr, especially if your going to keep Jake Delhomme at 73 ovr.
    Jonathan Stewart was a monster on Sunday night and should get a boost. He played better than AP.

    Steve Smith showed he still has it and should go back up some. He shouldn't have been dropped in the 1st place. The QB struggles the panthers have had were killing the entire passing game. And even still he's about to break 1000 yds receiving. Show some respect.

    Charles Godfrey has really stepped up his game as well as James Anderson. Tyrell Sutton has become a steal for the panthers. Charles Johnson is arguably becoming the panthers best DE. Geoff Shwartz did a great job Sunday Night against the Vikings.
