The Next Madden NFL 10 Roster Update Will Not Arrive Until November 20th

[MARTZball]

As some have said, the weekly update was a 'overkill'. Once a month is spot on and I don't mind the next release date at all. Good job.

I agree. People reacted too harshly. I never saw the point in doing the ratings changes each week. I wouldn't mind if they kept updating rosters by transactions each week, though.

There will be an absolute record amount of whining and complaining the day this update comes out by all the homers who are certain that their teams fifth-string cornerbacks' awareness is way too low or their third-string half-back deserves to be a 70 overall at least.

That's not a complaint, by the way. I genuinely love reading those comments on pastapadre.com!

So true. Most of the bomb throwers that have been banned from the madden board here are now bomb throwers on pasta's site.

Great sliders Krit, but this is the Roster board, not the sliders....

I disagree, EA makes millions off Madden and at this point in time we should have rosters that update in real time. As soon as the Chiefs cut Larry Johnson, the next time I put in Madden 10 it should show that on my roster, he should no longer be on the Chiefs. Anything less in my opinion is just lazy. As it happens in real life , it should also happen in the game , by the day, by the hour, by the minute. Yes, I can do this myself, and I do, but I feel a company that makes millions each year off this game should be on top of this and be willing to put in the time to give the consumer what they said they were going to give. "If you see it on Sunday" Well this Sunday LJ will not be a Chief, but he will be in Madden 10. Last week Chris Chambers was a WR on the Chiefs, but he is not in Madden 10. Fail.

We should also have real time roster updates for online franchise as well. We are approaching 2010, there's no reason why this type of live update can't be in place.

I normally disagree with complaints against the EA team. Normally, the 'community' asks for more than EA can provide in such a short time. If anyone that makes these complaints is a computer software engineer or game designer, then they have all the right to say the game could be better... but the people that complain now have no idea how long it takes to design a game, and therefore, have no right to complain.

However, I do agree that EA should release weekly roster updates. They claim to try to provide 'the most authentic football simulation to date.' They have as far as gameplay goes. But when the NFL goes through countless real-life injuries and FA pickups, I expect my 'most authentic football simulation' to reflect these changes... I do not expect these reflections a month later. I'm sorry, but I spend my money on a great game, but it's a great game that I would love to play with REAL teams, not just 3-week old teams.
