Madden NFL 12 Roster Update #17 Details
by 
The post-week 15 roster update for Madden NFL 12 is expected to arrive tomorrow for both the Xbox 360 and PS3. Heading into the holidays and with the regular season nearing completion the update scales back somewhat on the sheer number of changes made and instead continues to make smaller adjustments based on recent and long-term trends. Of note is Drew Brees re-joining the 99 overall rated club, Jason Pierre-Paul continuing to rise and now has reached 93, and both Roddy White and Calvin Johnson edging up to 97.
The biggest winners in terms net players gaining vs losing in overall ratings for teams are the Redskins and Seahawks (+9) with the 49ers (+8). On the downslide are the Bears and Buccaneers (-4). Continue on for all the details regarding the upcoming roster update for Madden NFL 12 and as always leave any thoughts in the comments!
