Madden NFL 12 Roster Update #6 Details

Posted October 6th, 2011 at 1:15 pm

The post-week four roster update for Madden NFL 12 features over 400 roster, ratings, and equipment adjustments. As anticipated the big move comes with Calvin Johnson obtaining the elite “Clutch” player trait status while also getting a bump up by a single point to 96 overall.

No movement at the top as all 99 and 98 rated players remain the same – however Nnamdi Asomugha falls from 97 to 96, Jake Long drops from 97 to 95, and Ray Lewis moves up from 96 to 97. The largest leap goes to Colts LB Kavell Connor who was previously 72 and rises to 79. The news on Chad Henne being out for the season, and the Dolphins going for Sage Rosenfels as a replacement, came too late in the week to include.

The team with the most significant net gain in players rising vs those falling are the Buccaneers (+8). That is followed by the Panthers with (+7) and the Titans, Texans, Cowboys, Bengals, and Ravens (+6). On the losing side are the Browns (-4) and the Cardinals, Bears, Steelers, and Rams (-2).
