The ranking of games in the best of 2009 list is based primarily on the personal amount of enjoyment had with a particular title.

Week 14 Ratings Change Suggestions
There isn't another Madden 10 roster update scheduled for until January 8th but it remains a good idea to keep tracking progress over the coming weeks. The last update left a lot to be desired so some corrections are already in store but there were also other developments to take a look at based on performance over the weekend.
