11:55 AM - September 11, 2014 by Steve_OS

EA Sports has released their Madden NFL 15 week 2 roster update and as promised, they have removed Ray Rice from the game. Currently, when starting a CFM, he is still on the roster, but there are plans to have him removed there as well.

While there are users that currently have him in Ultimate Team, he will no longer be available in packs.

This roster update includes over 750 ratings and 300 equipment updates. Once EA Sports uploads the spreadsheet of all the changes, we will link it.

UPDATE: Here is a link to all of the updates in the week 2 roster update.

we'll with roster updates they can only do the equipment... I think a patch would have be done for wrong color's logo's etc... I could be wrong.

I'm confused here. I thought in previous versions I thought there was the option of beginning a franchise with either the 75 man preseason roster or regular season roster. Now I'm stuck with the 75 man or the custom option. If I go with the preseason roster, I have to cut players with bonuses to make room vs starting with the reg roster that already has most of the scrubs gone already. Why don't they have the reg season roster available?

On a separate rant, I wish they would remove this "confidence" feature. It's annoying and a hassle to maintain when you already have limited ability to progress your players with xp.

I have wondered about this for years. Makes playing game frustrating because you don't start season with correct roster unless you spend several hours doing manual cuts for each team. Plus, depth charts get screwed up

can anyone upload the roster file for 360? im an offline user if anyone can its much appreciated

# 26 SMT3621 @ 09/12/14 02:01 AM

I just pulled up the rosters from the main menu and went online to the skins website where it shows the active roster and made the cuts, saved the roster and loaded it in my cfm. That's the only way I get an accurate roster without taking the cap penalty hits. Guess it'll have to do for now.

I really hope they release a list of changes for those that are in CFM that want to update the players.

Romo also had a higher completion %, more passing yards and a higher QBR than Smith. Just shows the disparity that exists with "Czars" ratings. There is no rhyme or reason to it. Seems like he picks names out of hat each week. Luckily we are able to fix all of his mistakes.

This is what I be talking about.

The one man crew, ratings stink.

Its been like that as long as i can remember , completely biased , stupid rating updates . For example last year when Broncos were on good run EA started giving boosts to literally every broncos player on the team no matter if he even played and no matter how he performed on the field . This Romo downgrade while Alex Smith gets nothing is also a perfect example of this . The worst part for me is that there are so many talented people that invest themselves in actually up****** rosters with some sense here on OS boards and they dont get hired while some guys who are hired by EA are doing god knows what with these updates and are getting paid for this ...

I totally agree. I have to edit my team all the time for basic stuff before I start a season. For instance I'll talk about the Lions only because I follow that team very close of course. Theo Riddick changed his number to 25 when Detroit released Leshoure even before week 1 game but here in week two its still 41.

Tahir Whitehead played his but off in all 4 preseason games and won the starting spot at LOLB but he is still rated a 68 when the guy he beat out for the position is rated at 77 and also he is a ROLB on the Madden roster. Stanford who didn't even make the 53 man roster and is on the practice squad is also rated a 72 above Whitehead. I'm sorry but coaches don't normally kick guys off the 53 man roster if they are better players than someone else!

Also I still think Stafford is underated. He went from an 87 to an 88 but his player traits I don't agree with and I think he should be around a 90 at least.

# 35 azdawgpound @ 09/12/14 10:31 AM

just saw something else RB Terrance West Changed his jersey number when Dion Lewis got cut but Donny still has him wearing #20 he should be wearing #28.

For somebody who uses ourlads for depth charts etc... he sure doesn't pay attention to what's being posted on there I had tell him about the FS he put on the browns who actually was a CB... his answer was well depth charts aren't set? ummm hello this was when all final cuts were made and depth charts were SET!!!!! lmfao.... right before week 1 game.

Donny Moore has a self filling prophecy that he stinks at what he does.

To me HIS opinion of ratings should count 1% and let the actual stats speak for themselves.

He needs a formula and put his grab bag up for auction up on EBay.

Remember almost 24hrs ago when they said we should be getting the update blog soon lol

# 38 NYBorn81 @ 09/12/14 11:07 AM

Lol @ Stafford being a 90. I think Romo's rating dropped while Smith's stayed the same, is because Romo consistently has those kinds of performances. That's the only reason that comes to mind, I do agree that as far as Week 1 goes in the NFL, the roster update should be more fair. I agree Smith should've had his ratings dropped, but not as much as Romo's.

# 39 azdawgpound @ 09/12/14 11:08 AM

ok so if u start a new cfm with these rice is gone all together from online cfm... but he's the top RB in FA in offline? umm I THOUGHT they REMOVED him from game completely? so how can he be off one and on another?

offline is getting no respect no fixes yet and now u have a guy EA has stated is completely gone from all modes sitting in FA pool lmfao.

This is the biggest problem with Donny Moore doing all the ratings. It's an IMPOSSIBLE task for only one person to do. He probably does as good as job as any one person can but every individual hardcore fan will know more about his own team than Donny will. It's just like a national NFL writer - they can't come close to the knowledge of the local beat writers.

That's why I wish he would have 32 Madden fans from across the internet who he can get input on for his rosters. Each of those fans would represent one NFL team and provide proper depth charts, number changes etc.

Ex: When I saw the initial Dolphins rosters had Koa Misi still at OLB it was a big mistake but 99% of the fans outside of Miami would not even notice it. If he had a Dolphin fan to review his work this wouldn't have happened. That's why to most ****** fans his work is great. And to the other 31 teams I don't follow as closely I would say it's great as well. But when I look at Miami I can see some errors.
