The roster update for Madden NFL 15 following week one of the season is available to download now on all systems. This update removes Ray Rice from the game following his release from the Ravens and indefinite suspension. It appears he won’t be pulled from Ultimate Team entirely but probably won’t be seen in any new packs going forward. There is seemingly an issue however as Rice appears in the free agent list when starting a new Connected Franchise with the latest roster. He’s there as a FA and CPU teams sign him.
