The roster update for Madden NFL 12 incorporating events and performances through the first two weeks of the season is expected out on Friday for both the Xbox 360 and PS3. The update includes hundreds of player moves and ratings adjustments as well as equipment changes.

The biggest upgrade goes to Raiders rookie receiver Denarious Moore who goes from a 64 to 73 while Texans rookie running back Ben Tate moves up for a second straight week. DeMarcus Ware has joined the elite group of players to reach a 99 rating while Antonio Gates falls out of it. Going to the IR are prominent names such as Jamaal Charles, Thomas Davis, and Nick Collins.

The Lions are the biggest winner this week netting the most players with increases over decreases with seven while despite two losses the Panthers have another strong update with six.
