    After the opening week in which offenses tended to struggle week two brought more in the way of high scoring games and big offensive performances from players. It was also a weekend which saw quite a bit of shifting at quarterback as coaches lost their patience with starters and looked to backups for a spark. Names that will likely see ratings increases include Lions RB Jahvid Best, Eagles QB Michael Vick, Bears QB Jay Cutler and WR Devin Hester, Falcons FB Jason Snelling, Chargers FB Mike ...

    The fourth roster update for Madden 11, taking into account action up to and through week one of the NFL season, is expected out late this week.

There are four that come from week one, with the Lions-Bears, Packers-Eagles, and Cardinals-Rams as ones that stood out for this treatment.

Madden Moments Live can be purchased on an individual basis (2000 coins/67 cents), as a full weekly set (5000 coins/$1.67), or a...

Last week's roster update was primarily intended to get in the most accurate 53 man rosters possible and didn't focus much on adjusting ratings. This first update of the regular season should see more in the way of ratings changes as the first game and preseason has established a better sense of the level players are performing at and th...

    In a change that just recently appeared, and follows the patch that arrived during the week, Madden 11 ranked games have now moved to six minute quarters from the seven minutes they had been set to since last year. Games were deemed to be taking too long to complete and it appears a compromise was made when considering the seven minutes vs a proposed five minutes. Accelerated clock remains on. (more…)...
