Next Madden 11 Roster Update Coming Soon.

[Nature Boy]

From Pastapadre.com

It appears that the second roster update for Madden 11 will be coming sooner than anticipated. According to Donny Moore the next one is being targeted to arrive this weekend. This update would likely attempt to position rosters to be in better shape before NFL teams set their final 53 after the last preseason game. A roster update is still expected in the days leading up to the start of the regular season that incorporate the final rosters.

So what could be expected out of the upcoming roster update? Probably not so much in the way of ratings changes but instead expect it to be primarily transaction based. Injuries such as those to Elvis Dumervil and Sidney Rice should be reflected. Just a few of the bigger changes as of late include Greg Camarillo and Javon Walker joining the Vikings, Brian Westbrook to the 49ers, Seahawks getting Kentwan Balmer, Lions getting Lawrence Jackson, Torry Holt IR/release from the Patriots, and Tra Thomas retiring from the Chargers.

The update could deal with making Vincent Jackson, Marcus McNeill, and Darrelle Revis inactive given their holdouts and suspensions in the case of the first two. Matt Leinart losing his starting spot to Derek Anderson could even make its way in.

They better give Kolb his one year contract extension. I'm sick of seeing him in free agency after the first year.

they need to stop callin jim leonhard on the jets jim lester

There's been far too much information about how useless ratings are.

I mean, EA basically admitted that accel meant nothing till this year and then there was that peice about tackling power and how Kris Jenkins hits with a force 4 times of Ray Lewis, yet DT's are rated super low in that stat.

Nice to have the players in the right uniforms, but it's overshadowed by the low roster limits. For example, cause Marlin Jackson is on IR, he doesn't exist in the TGT OF. Retarded.


Call me when there's a patch to make scoring exciting again, not something that happens every 2 minutes.

nice Naitch.......:yes:

any word on the patch(es) ??

A 'Hit Power' rating really shouldn't exist at all if they used a physics based engine.

[stevsta]

the rams ratings are prolly going to go down across the boards

[Primetime]

It should still exist even with a physics based engine... Some people simply have the gift of putting more force into their momentum when hitting someone.

AKA The gift of acceleration and timing. Force is solely determined by your mass X your acceleration. Timing plays a huge factor as well though.

Exactly. Pretty much Inertia.

If you want to put it into a Madden rating what I would say is:

The Defenders: Height + Weight, Strength, Speed, and a tackle rating

vs

The Ball Carriers: Height + Weight, Strength, Speed.

Acceleration should be included to one of them if one/both/none of the them are at full speed.

I have heard around the start of the NFL season.

The second roster update for Madden 11 has gone live. This is a pretty significant update that includes a bunch of ratings changes based on preseason performance, player additions, and movement due to injuries.
