The second to last roster update for Madden 10 is slated to arrive today (update: will arrive Saturday morning) for the 360 and PS3. Given that it has been a month since the last update and represents only the fourth update in the last 11 weeks the changes are significant. There will be one more this season which will arrive right before the Super Bowl. There has still be no word on when or even if there will be another update for Online Franchise which has been without one since October.
Some of the names that have been talked about a great deal recently include Jerome Harrison who moves up to an 82 while Jamaal Charles makes it up to an 86.
