There are over well over 400+ transactions and player rating adjustments that went into this roster update.
The biggest movers after top notch performances in Week 1 are LB Craig Robertson (CLE) with a 4 point boost this week (now 65 overall), WR Kevin Ogletree (DAL) going +7 to 74 overall, OL J’Marcus Webb (CHI) gets a 4 point boost to 73 overall, and DL Henry Melton (CHI) going up 3 points as well to a 83 overall.
Some of the biggest movers on the negative side are TE Lance Kendricks (from 74 to 72 overall), OL Doug Legursky (from 75 to 72 overall), OL Leroy Harris (from 86 to 84 overall), and Titans DB Michael Griffin (from 89 to 87 overall).
I respectfully disagree when it comes to Ogletree's increase. Ogletree in real life has progressed significantly (through camp and preseason). He showed it against the Super Bowl champs on opening night repeatedly beating them off the jam and embarrassing Corey Webster (94 press) to Ogletree's (54ish release) so in Madden Ogletree would rarely if ever win that matchup of the line of scrimmage.
Correct me if I'm wrong (and I haven't read the whole thread so I apologize if it has already been mentioned) but isn't Ogletree now your slot receiver? If so, press and release ratings don't have nearly the same effect as it does playing on the outside. It's much harder to jam a receiver who isn't up at the line.
I wasn't able to watch most of the game on Wednesday so I didn't see where he lined up, I'm just assuming he played the slot since obviously Austin and Bryant are clearly your top receivers.
Will they fix all the incorrect positions? Every long snapper on a team is set as a TE, ratings are in the 40's, and no way to actually set them as long snappers.
Im not sure about your team, but for Green Bay. Brett Goode is listed as a center, rated around 65 or so, and is the default LS in the depth chart.

Austin plays in the slot a lot when they go 3 wide. Not all the time obviously, but quite a bit. For what it's worth, I think he meant best release on the Cowboys, not the league. I'm a 'Boys fan too and although I thought he needed to be better than a 67 overall, we need to see more. As Parcells would say, "let's not put him in the HOF just yet".
Anyone surprised about anything? I thought Ogletree was pretty low at 67 so I sent in that 7 point increase, his release was horrendously low (in 50's) when in real life he's excellent at beating press coverage. I requested it be boosted to 79 which is fine for now, however, I think Ogletree may be the best WR off the line at getting out of a jam.
My surprises:
- Brandon Weeden only dropping a point
- Tracy Porter jumping up and astounding three points, it's amazing what an interception in crunch time will do for you
- Andrew Luck not losing a point. He looked like a rookie, and this is the guy that everyone said was more prepped for the NFL than Peyton. I know, I know it's only Week 2, but still. The overthrows to Wayne really had me leaning towards decrease.
it was more then a interception he was shutting down recievers the whole game.
Beat me to it. I'm a diehard Steelers fan and as much as it hurts to admit it, Porter was a beast against any wide receiver he faced last Sunday. Broke up many deep ball attempts and the pick six. He was an integral part of the defense and probably the main reason the Broncos won. Defensive player of the game for sure. The announcers even mentioned that teams might want to start throwing towards Champ Bailey instead of him.
I don't think they were serious when they said that. Bailey is the reason they were throwing at Porter and he did a great job.
Are you seeing injuries stick after turning it back on? The reason I ask is that I turned it off and back on and now I only have in game injuries. After the game everyone is healed. Even very serious injuries.
I think we will have to shut off injuries AND pre existing injuries for pre season and then toggle BOTH of those back on for week one for the new 53 man roster for CCM...
AND:
I think the issue you're describing is form having pre existing off...
I agree. I don't get why people get so caught up on ratings. It is to the point where fans will want any player that has a good week to get a boost in ratings. Redskins fan probably think Alfred Morris should be a top 10 back in the league.
Not a skins fan at all but morris was my pick for surprising player during the preseason. He got decent yards every touch and fell forward with every hit. He might not be top 10 or flashy but he is clearly underrated.
I don't think they were serious when they said that. Bailey is the reason they were throwing at Porter and he did a great job.
Every couple years teams test champ, then they remember why they stopped doing that the previos couple years. Wish my pats had a corner close to his skill level.
your kidding me, ogletree the best wr beating the press hahahaha......hes had one good game against a terrible giants secondary, because of injuries, and you say he is the best at beating the press BAHAHAHAHa
Sorry, I should have been clear. I meant on Dallas not league wide.

No he was beating Webster on the outside a majority of the game. Miles Austin almost always lines up in the slot for Dallas.
I love Madden, I have since 1993.... I will always support it but I'm sorry EA and Madden 13 are a mess right now with all these different rosters. EA is just making it harder for us and themselves.
