Madden NFL 12 Roster Update - Week 3 Details, Available Tomorrow (360, PS3)

[Steve_OS]

Donny Moore has posted details on the Madden NFL 12 week 3 roster update, which will be available tomorrow morning.

The biggest movers from Week 2 on the positive side are WR Denarius Moore (OAK) with a nine point boost this week (now 73 overall), OL Jason Kelce (PHI) going +5 to 73 overall, QB Matthew Stafford goes up three points to an 85 overall, and HB Ben Tate (HOU) going up 3 points, as well, to a 76 overall.

Some of the biggest movers on the negative side are DB Jon McGraw (from 78 to 75 overall), OL Frank Omiyale (from 71 to 67 overall) and James Sanders (from 82 to 80 overall).

We have a new member in Club 99….Please welcome Dallas Cowboys star linebacker DeMarcus Ware to the most elite club in all of football! No player has more sacks over the last five seasons and Ware is already off to a hot start in 2011 with four sacks. WR Andre Johnson is also getting closer to Club 99, as he moves up one point to 98 overall after a great start to the season.

Long overdue... Ware should have been a 99 long ago.

Crazy update for Denarius Moore...glad to see Ben Tate get a nice little boost.

Ya Demarcus Ware should have been a 99 a long time ago. Glad to see the madden team finally giving him his props.

I wish there was a way to apply the roster updates to a current franchise mode. I want updated rosters in my franchise but hate having to start a whole new franchise mode each time there is a roster update :/

stafford should higher than an 85 but he will be if he continues to play like he should than he'll be a 90 before week 8

Yes! Vince Wilfork's catch and ball carrier vision rating went up. That's awesome.

Is there any way to figure out exactly what ratings were changed to get players to their current rating in the update? I understand that Ware is a 99 now, but what specific stats got changed to make him that way?

I'd like to know that too so I can edit the players in my franchise mode.

no way Stafford should be near a 90 so quickly. If he gets 90+ then so should Ryan Fitzpatrick. Anyways, it's only 2 games people. If he continues to put up numbers and the Lions continue to win games then I'll change my mind. But I'll wait for the Bills/Patriots games this Sunday and the Lions/Packers and Lions/Bears games to reserve judgement on whether or not these two guys are for real or are just having a flash-in-the-pan, Derek Anderson, one-hit wonder type of season so many players have.

see: Matt Cassel

The updates to my Ravens are fair, they did not play well last week. I like how Cary Williams went up again. I am eager to see what individual ratings went up for him.

But why did Chris Carr go down? He did not even play last week & is one of our most consistent CBs.

Not sure what Mike Patterson did to lose a point.
At the same time, don't know what Phillip Hunt did to gain a point.
Other than those, nothing surprising for the Eagles.

Also, when will we start to see huge decreases for old free agent players. There are reasons why they aren't on teams right now. I'm tired of starting a franchise and seeing all these ex-players get signed and play like they're 25 years old again.

-Shaun O' Hara (34, 89 OVR) hasn't had a single team visit that I've read about. Coming off two surgeries, he needs a BIG drop.

-Leonard Weaver (28, 87 OVR) I love this guy. I met him once at Eagles training camp, great player and person. That being said, this guy may not be able to play football again. He suffered a horrific injury which resulted in nerve damage. Even if he does play next year, he will never be the same. Sad but he needs a big drop as well.

-Lofa Tatupu (28, 87 OVR) I don't see what was ever so special about this guy, especially in the past 2 seasons. Like O'Hara, this guy hasn't gotten a look from any team and yet there are plenty of teams out there (my Eagles included) that could use good linebacker help. However, this guy isn't that.

-Darren Sharper (35, 83 OVR) has failed numerous workouts, he needs to be a low 70 at this point. He's old and his career is done.

Those are just a few examples but there are 25 80+ OVR players in free agency. Franchise mode has it's own problems with the slow rate decreasing player ratings, but this should be easy. If you aren't good enough to make a team, your OVR should reflect that.

There should be a rule of thumb that any player who can't make a team shouldn't be higher than a 79.
