Roster updates Madden and LIVE

[The Timber Wolf]

If one of the EA reps is here, would you be able to explain why Madden gets extensive roster updates each week with a full spreadsheet provided for users to view.

With just three weeks left in the NFL regular season, the playoff picture is starting to clear up. Carolina, San Francisco, Kansas City and Baltimore all look like solid bets to qualify as the four wild card teams. However, several division races are tight. The Lions and Bears are tied atop the NFC North, but the Packers sit just half a game back and could welcome Aaron Rodgers back into the mix this week.
Here are three of the biggest changes from the Madden NFL 25 Week 15 roster update.

MATT PRATER, DENVER BRONCOS K
When you set an NFL record, your rating goes up. That was the case in Denver, as Matt Prater set an NFL record by booting a 64-yard field goal at the end of the first half in last week’s win over the Titans. Prater’s OVR moves up three-points to 93, and his KPW was increased a point to a well-deserved 99.
CORDARRELLE PATTERSON, MINNESOTA VIKINGS WR
Patterson won’t catch fellow rookies Keenan Allen and Giovani Bernard in the race for Offensive Rookie of the Year, but the speedster did break out in the Vikings’ narrow loss to the Ravens. Patterson caught five passes for 141 yards, including a go-ahead 79-yard score with less than a minute remaining in the game. Patterson’s OVR increases two points to 77, and he also received a five-point boost in RTE.
JOSH MCCOWN, CHICAGO BEARS QB
The Bears squashed any rumblings of a quarterback controversy by naming incumbent Jay Cutler as the Week 15 starter. But that doesn’t diminish McCown’s Monday Night performance, as he threw for 348 yards and four touchdowns, adding one on the ground. McCown’s OVR is up three points to 81, thanks to one-point increases in THP and THA.

Meanwhile, LIVE basically gets nothing. The occasional random update with no notes, no comments on changes. Nothing.


We paid the same amount of money as did the Madden users. Surely the same level of customer service is not too much to expect?

You think Madden team and Live team are equals at EA?

99.9% sure. But then again PC versions are normally half price.


But to the OP I do agree slightly with what your saying. I wouldn't be surprised that Madden has a bigger budget, team and a little more freedom to do things like you mentioned.

I don't understand why the NBA Rewind feature has very accurate rosters/rotation(outside of the pg player) but regular roster updates takes awhile.

YES, I don't understand this at all. It literally makes no sense.


I played a 'rewind' game last night (cool feature) and the rosters were correct.


Yet when I want to start a dynasty or play just a one off game v the CPU, the rosters and rotations are completely out of whack. It makes no sense at all.

Just in case you can tweak(very slightly) before starting tip off type matches. After trying dynasty mode I seen how rotations are split.

I'll write a more detailed workaround to get rotations a little better. That's for human and CPU teams.
