    You may remember a recent declaration from EA Sports that they had fixed a desync issue in Madden NFL 15's Online Connected Franchise head-to-head games. Unfortunately that hasn't turned out to be true at all. They're still widespread and severely damaging the enjoyment and long-term potential of online leagues. Suggestions on how to avoid a desync have ranged from making sure the two users have the same visual settings (tackle cone, kicking arc, ect) to locking into a single camera angle...

    It's been one of the worst weeks in the history of the NFL off-the-field, while on it a number of significant injuries were suffered. With Ray Rice having already been dealt with in Madden NFL 15 (though he still awkwardly pops up in new franchises) attention will turn to Adrian Peterson and Greg Hardy. Both were inactive but their status remains unclear going forward. Unless Peterson were to be suspended by the league today or tomorrow, and any decision that would sit Hardy down for a longe...

    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...

    The next roster update will for Madden NFL 15 will carry with it even greater significance than just being the first in-season update of the season. Baltimore Ravens' running back Ray Rice, who was released and subsequently suspended indefinitely yesterday, is likely to receive the Aaron Hernandez treatment. Look for him to be removed from the game completely and not just in the latest roster but from Ultimate Team as well. Week one of the NFL season had a couple upsets and some great ...

    On Friday EA Sports deployed the latest roster update for Madden NFL 15 coinciding with the start of the regular season.

The company has yet to provide the full list of details but that spreadsheet will be added here i...
