Madden NFL 10 Roster Update Details

06:27 PM - August 18, 2009 by Phil_Frazier

Evening folks,

Wanted to take a moment to quickly provide some details on the roster update that's rolling out tomorrow morning.

Some time between 5:00 am and 8:00 am EST the new roster will be deployed. When this happens everyone connected to our servers will be kicked off. We chose this window because it's the time with the least amount of server traffic. When the rosters are deployed the server will be restarted, resulting in just a few minutes of downtime.

At around 10:00 am EST, we will deploy the same roster to our Online Franchise server. When this happens everyone connected to that server will be kicked off. After several minutes of downtime the server will come back online and all newly created franchises from that point on will use the new roster.

This roster includes the much hyped addition of Mike Vick and Brett Favre as well as many other preseason updates. We hope you all enjoy it.

Phil

Exaclty, plus maybe a decent to good QB is all that players needs to win enough games and make it to the Superbowl and win it!

Lifelong Packer fan...

I want to play this game in my franchise and feel that emotion. That's why

o I dunno...maybe because he's arguably THE GREATEST QB OF ALL TIME.....?! I mean, come on dude. Do you even follow football on Sundays?

(p.s. to all the nit-picking haters....I said, "arguably.")

Not to take the thread completely off topic, but....October 5th is my birthday as well. But I'm neither a Pack or Vike fan. I was cursed in my childhood and became a Raiders' fan.

Favre's is already in. "Mississippi Style". They couldn't use his name because he wasn't in the NFL at the time.

Well, at least you can enjoy this game as a birthday present. I personally can't wait until the Nov. 1st game at Lambeau. I'm excited he's back, it adds so much more emotion to the division. I wonder how he'll be treated when he walks out of that tunnel... It'll be interesting to say the least.

Sorry about the Raiders fan thing. That just sucks

# 33 BDKiiing @ 08/18/09 08:59 PM

just wondering, is this coming out for PS2 aswell?

# 34 ezio @ 08/18/09 09:20 PM

So we have to restart franchise if we want to use this correct? Just want to confirm. thanks.

# 35 BroMontana82 @ 08/18/09 09:25 PM

nice, come on patch1....

# 36 mrgoodkat @ 08/18/09 09:38 PM

What would have been the point of starting a franchise before the first roster update anyhow? Nevermind Vick, and now Favre, there are teams that are missing players entirely. Even if that isn't your team, you are still playing an incomplete game.

And this update wont add all the missing players anyhow, most of which are rookies battling for a spot.

Im planning on finally starting a franchise once depth charts are set, towards the beginning of the NFL season.

# 37 Brooklynbks4 @ 08/18/09 09:44 PM

woo great job now we gotta deal wit bret again lol

# 38 Sausage @ 08/18/09 10:02 PM

Great update and notes. I hope folks read this because I have seen the question asked in a few threads.

This further proves my belief that everyone who wants to post on this site should have to pass an I.Q. test to be allowed the privilege of doing so.
