An interesting development out of the final roster update for Madden 10 is that players who have announced their retirement have been removed from the game completely. Kurt Warner, Junior Seau, and Bertrand Berry are no longer available for use with the update that arrived earlier this morning. This caught me by complete surprise because it's the first time that I'm aware of that off-season transactions have made their way into that previous year's game. Madden 10 represents the 09-10 seaso...

The second to last roster update for Madden 10 is slated to arrive today (update: will arrive Saturday morning) for the 360 and PS3. Given that it has been a month since the last update and represents only the fourth update in the last 11 weeks the changes are significant. There will be one more this season which will arrive right before the Super Bowl. There has still be no word on when or even if there will be another update for Online Franchise which has been without one since October. S...

The first roster update since mid-November for Madden 10 that was supposed to arrive today has hit a snag. EA Sports now states that they have come across a bug that will delay its release. The earliest it could make its way out is early AM Saturday. Considering it will be the weekend it is within reason that it could end up actually being a longer wait but that is the most recent information that has been provided. Should any new developments take place regarding the status of this roster I...

Yet another week will go by without a roster update for Madden 10. The next update will be arriving on Friday December 11th. That makes it now only two updates in the last seven weeks and will make for the second consecutive three week break. Considering the way things have been going and the upcoming holidays one has to wonder if the next to come won't end up being the last until the playoffs. As I discussed in this article the roster updates have really taken a turn for the worse this year...

Following a three week absence the next Madden 10 roster update is slated to release on Friday. This will be the ninth of the year which puts them about a month behind the pace that they were delivered last year. Madden 09 had 13 roster updates out before Thanksgiving. There is a lot of significant movement in this update considering there has only been one in the previous five weeks. Included are changes to the team overalls. Jay Cutler surprisingly drops only four points to an 82, Jariu...

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 aff...
