After taking a week off the Madden 10 roster updates have returned with the fourth of the year which came out this morning. This update includes a slight upgrade for Darrelle Revis to 93, a 10 point upgrade to 85 for Antwan Odom, a five point decrease for Jake Delhomme, an11 point increase for Mario Manningham while Drew Brees has become a 99. Those were all players that I thought would see adjustments based on their performance early this season so it is encouraging to see that the ratings are being actively adjusted for the players that need it.
The update also includes several transactions and depth chart changes. Chief among them are Brian Urlacher, Jamal Williams, Randy Thomas, and Jermaine Phillips to the IR and the complete removal of Michael Crabtree from the 49ers as he has yet to sign.
