Official Madden NFL 17 Roster Update For Week 9 Available Now

[stooge 1010]

I doubt it will work with a created jay ajayi, but if you want in franchise,just edit him to skin 7 and face 6. Plus if you create him , it will say he is a rookie

For example, the Cardinals (despite having No. 4 defense in the NFL by DVOA) now have a worse defense than the Raiders who you don't even need advanced statistics to tell you have a very bad defense. The team you would expect to be similar to the Raiders, the Falcons, have a defense 8 OVR points lower. According to the franchise mode's calculations, the Raiders have a defense as good as the Texans, Chiefs, Ravens, and Panthers. A more stark difference is that the Vikings were shown as a 90 OVR team in Play Now but are an 81 OVR in franchise mode. It doesn't make sense that a team would be worse in Franchise than in Play Now by 9 points. To relate this to this particular update, the Cardinals went down 2 points in defensive OVR in Franchise mode but the Raiders stayed the same. Either they calculate OVR differently between Play Now and Franchise (perhaps scheme settings are being taken into account, but why would they before you even have a coach or player or owner selected?) or one of the numbers for total OVR is fake. While OVR in the end doesn't really matter (Took the 75 OVR Bears against the 86 OVR Packers, beat them 38-10 with the only Packer TD being a pick six,) considering OVR influences Franchise things like salary, depth chart (it shouldn't) and trades, that it is inconsistent is an obstacle when it comes to Franchise mode. I also don't understand how the Cardinals are tied for 12th in defensive OVR and the Patriots are tied for 3rd in defensive OVR after this update.

Raiders D has gotten much better from week 1 and on paper is pretty damn good. Also once we get Aldon Smith and Mario Edwards JR back I could def see our D rivaling those teams

Whoever the roster guy is i feel like he clearly doesn't watch games or anything.

Now some players he has done a fantastic job with but its clear he just picks n chooses who to increase & decrease & its very lame.

I noticed a couple players on the chiefs who got decreasd for no reason.

#1 is CB Phillip Gaines he been injured but as with last week when played an entire game he continues to shine & shut down his guys & he gets his 1st career INT last week & has been one of our top rated pff guys & he goes down 2 points? Ok whats the guy on because i want what he takin if anything he should be a 77 overall.

#2 Mitch Morse C has been a Stud all year & consistent all year but drops? Um he should be a 75

#3 Derrick Johnson Has a great game & continues to have a monster season & he drops -5 ok this is going to far.

#4 Poe i can understand to a dagree because he doesnt get alot of sacks but always doing good every week yet he drops 4 points whatever..

#5 Mitchell Swartch RT best RT in league gets dropped because he gives up a sack while playing on an injured ankle that henders his footwork ummmmm k but he put together 2 good weeks & cant even get increased is the roster guy a browns fan mad because he left?

#6 how is Steven Nelson getting increased yet Gaines gets decreasd? It should be other way around Nelson is the one getting beat because hes soft & doesnt play aggresive.

# 7 how is it an injured Allan Bailey gets dropped when hes out for year but a struggling I took the $ and ran Jaye Howard gets increased instead of decreased makes no sense?

#8 LDT RG continues to have a very good yr but he goes down in ovr? Do you ever watch games ratings guy?

Lastly Terrence Smith you have him listed as a ROLB but he is a MLB for us please correct this .

Look i get he gonna decrease guys & rightfully so but he is decresing the wrong guys & not the correct ones

I watch all chiefs game & even dvr them to review players & its not cool a guy playing so well gets decreasd vs incresed but yet i sse #20 out there steven nelson getting bruned & he gets bumped up ok

Not trying to disrespect anyone he has done good with guys like Hill & Wilson just wish he be more consistent & put more logic in when it comes to ratings he gets paid to do these atleast get it right..

Thats it for now good night...

Anybody know where you can download a spreadsheet of the updated roster? For whatever reason the official Madden database will only let you see one attribute at a time.

The best recreation of Jay Ajayi is to give him face #51. Do NOT change his skin color, just change his face to 51. It looks like him plus it has the dreads.

I'm not saying the defense couldn't get better, but these roster ratings are based on how they've performed. Sean Smith and Reggie Nelson have not been doing as well as hoped and the defense as a whole has given up loads of yards and points. Despite this, it's 2 points better than one of the Top 5 defenses in the NFL? And the Patriots are considered to have an equally good defense than the Vikings? The Vikings have had a defensive OVR of 87 for weeks. The Patriots JUST CAME DOWN from their 89 Defensive OVR of last week to EQUAL the Vikings defense.

Here's the spreadsheet I've been keeping (no Packers because this was meant just to keep on hand for when I started franchises and, well, I was never gonna use the Packers.)

In franchise the ratings reflect how well players match the scheme.

Why are they not fixing jay ajayi to dreds?peopple are complaining on ea sports forums to. Can they not fix hm without screwing something else up? They gotta know he needs dreds. I know it's minor but I like to have real accurate rosters.
