Madden 11

[Bltravens]

What I noticed for the Ravens with the update is that J.McClain is a 70 now, Suggs is a 91, Dickson has 83 speed now, Webb is a 77 and thats all I can remember off my head

[SnOoPy]

Yes after playing the game I feel the same way now, AND considering Frank Gore has better speed when hes obviously slower is a tad ridiculous.

they need to up ray rice in general! he's one of the top 3 or 4 RBs in the NFL and there are atleast 6 or 7 with better overall rating.

[cursona pirate]

Is the game worth the price? I already have madden 09

[SnOoPy]

I know! I was hoping they would change his rating..guess not. Does Ray Rice look bigger on the field now after that update couple days ago? I know he didn't look like that before. Idk I might be trippin. lol

Just for farts and grins. how'd the Steelers do?

UPDATE: Nevermind; didn't realize that was a hyperlink. Ya know, those results are not that far fetched. Although, I'm not sure about the 9-7 for the Steelers or Chargers or the 12-4 Pats or 13-3 Ravens. Need to look at a schedule though. Aside from that, not much to argue with.

[AwakenTheDemon]

When playing against the Patriots, does anyone else find Welker to be unstoppable? It's ridiculous, I spotlight him, shift zones to his side, have my secondary press the line. Nothing. He seemingly always gets wide open, makes the catch, and is off to the races. It's the most frustrating thing ever.

Wow.. Funny that you mentioned this. I can't stop him in ranked matches or even against the CPU for that matter. He always finds a soft spot in the zone or just beats my man even in press. He burnt me in my online franchise for like 300 yards and about 2 TD's, against the CPU! It is frustrating, I agree. I don't know what to do.

Does anyone in here know when the last roster update before the season is released? I have an itch to start a personal franchise.

[AwakenTheDemon]

I'd imagine the next roster update should be coming in the next few days, once all the teams have their final 53 rosters in.

Glad to see I'm not the only one having issues against Welker. Dude just got me for 7 catches, 189 yards, and 2 TDs. *sigh* No other receiver in the game comes anywhere near the level of frustration Welker exudes.

... Right I agree, the should give him a better rating, look at his nfl ranking. He's one of the most elusive, quick, speedy, tough runners in the game. He's still underrated in the game... They some haters for real.

The best thing to do when someone or a CPU is tearing you up with 1 single player is to call your plays like you normally do but double up the person you are having trouble with, with one of the ends.

2nd highest scrimmage yards for the season behind CJ2K should not equal 90 overall. I'm thinking around 95 overall with improved Juke Moves, Spin Moves, Elusiveness and Speed (93-94).

[XxSizzleXx]

They aren't going to significantly improve any of the Ravens, they're already a 90 and 3rd best team in the game.

Me too. Until I had to cover him myself with Ray Ray. Hit sticked him and out he goes for 8 weeks with a broken collarbone. LOL

[Clutch Ravens]

Yea I don't understand how they could get everybody basically except Art Jones.

not sure about Xbox but you do need to be online to get them. Now if you don't have online the best I can tell you is go to Operation Sports and they post the new Roster Updates for you to download.

Also in case you guys don't know a Title Update is available to download for Madden 11:

[AwakenTheDemon]

Here's something else I've noticed >.>

Does anyone else sometimes get their wide receivers in at cornerback on defense, seemingly, at random? I've seen Boldin and Housh both back in the secondary for some asinine reason that I cannot figure out.
