Madden NFL 12 Roster Update #7 Details

The latest roster update for Madden NFL 12 follows week five of the season is scheduled to release Friday for the Xbox 360 and PS3. The Texans take a hit with the loss of Mario Williams – but do upgrade their WR depth having acquired Derrick Mason from the Jets. The trade of Aaron Curry to the Raiders was made too late to make it in this update.

Seahawks undrafted rookie FA receiver Doug Baldwin moves up 8 points to 70 – which represents an increase of 22 points from the 48 rating he had when first added to the game. Bills RB Fred Jackson has cracked 90 as he moves up 4 points, Champ Bailey has inched up to 98, and Calvin Johnson moves up again and is now 97. Tim Tebow becomes the starter in this update as he replaces Kyle Orton who also took a hit of 3 points to his rating.

Team wise there were a couple huge winners and losers. The 49ers net the biggest gain of players going up vs down (+12) followed by the Lions (+9). Heading the opposite direction are the Eagles (-7), Buccaneers (-4), and Jets (-3).

Continue on for all the transactions and ratings adjustments made in the upcoming Madden NFL 12 roster update and as always leave any thoughts in the comments!

Titans Take (this is not going to be a good one... our dog decided to throw up in our bed last night at 1:30am for the second night in a row AND my girlfriend didn't make any coffee this morning before leaving for work, so watch out...)
SCREW YOU F-ING MADDEN!!!!!!!!1
Right out the Gate. F.You.Everyone at EA.

We had 3 increases and 3 decreases as well. Granted this was a terrible game, they are completely not consistent with their ratings.
First with the decreases:
Chris Johnson - moves down to a 93 from a 94... it wasn't his best game, but he is finding his wheels and FINALLY scores his first TD... so naturally they move him down a point. why not?
Will Witherspoon - moves down from a 84 to a 83... I don't know how this is warranted at all. He's been solid all year. Ruud on the other hand stays at his nice 89 spot...WTF?
Mr. Griff. - moves down from a 91 to a 88... yes, this was a terrible game for him, but a 3 point drop?? no. just no.

Increase were definitely deserved:
C-Finn. - finally got a boost from a 92 to a 93, should have happened a while ago.
Dwill - goes from a 67 to a 70. meh? I am not going to really argue that because a 70 is still pretty terrible.
ATV - gets a bump up from 78 to 79. He should be much higher. Our Corners are playing on another level right now.

since Madden loves those big money markets Pit. after a few awful games, comes out and plays some solid football but they are non deserving of the 7 person increase. We play some great football for the last few weeks and we get a few here-and-there bumps up... Pit plays one good game and they are ready to hand them the Super Bowl rings already. F- You Madden.
