![]() In these cases, I left the teams as they were before the season started, and see what the CPU has in store for those guys. Guys have changed teams, like Josh Freeman and Trent Richardson. Also, the players and ratings I downloaded from EA Sports were current as of the preseason, and some rosters have different since then. Guys who had around an 80 OVR rating in Madden 25 would turn up as 99 OVR once I put them on my Madden 08, so I had to scale back their stats a little bit. And along those lines, tight ends and fullbacks aren't graded as harshly in 08. In some cases, I'd have to put a guy there who either isn't on the team anymore, or who is actually a running back or tight end or something. First of all, not very many teams use a fullback anymore, but Madden still requires every team to have one. Some weird things came up when trying to edit the roster. So, Adrian Peterson and Calvin Johnson are rookies again, with an overall rating of 99. The only drawback to my trading method is that guys who already were in the league at the time of Madden 08 are now 6 years younger, because I cannot change their age. I matched up each player's age, height, weight, and skills to match their real life counterparts. Sure it does! I tried to make each roster as accurate as possible. Once I got the hang of it, it took me about an hour to update one team's roster. Once I've traded for old timers, I can pretty much edit anything about them: name, height, weight, stats, everything except age and skin color. So, I'd trade Jim Sorgi to an old team for a 24 year old quarterback who I'll turn into Andrew Luck, and so on.until I've done this for all 21 positions on all 32 teams. After I make sure, I'd trade them to the old timers. Then, I use trusty old Wikipedia to make sure these guys aren't in the league anymore. So, I trade Manning to his current team, Denver, for a backup QB, say, Patrick Ramsey. Madden 08 says the Colts have Peyton Manning, Jim Sorgi, and John Navarre at QB. I'd trade players that aren't in the league anymore with players on those "old time" teams that nobody ever uses, and I matched up the ages and looks of the players I wanted.įor example, let's look at the Colts QB's. Then, I would edit one team at a time, and one position at a time. I found an excel sheet online from EA Sports with the ratings of every single player in 25 (all 2,244, to be exact). I'm sure your next question is either "How the heck did you do that?" or "I don't even have the patience to read this entire post, how did you have the patience to change every single roster?" The process was pretty straight forward. You might have seen my adventures on 08 here. I've been playing 08 for 6 years now, and I'm tired of my hometown 49ers being horrible. EA Sports hasn't released a PC version of Madden since 08, so that's what I have to play with (I also have 97, 99, 02, and 06, all on PC). Well sadly, I don't have an Xbox or PS3, so I play Madden on my laptop. ![]() Also, keep an eye on this space for the weekly roster update articles we’ll be pushing out, mostly just to remind you about the weekly roster updates.I'm sure your first question is "What the heck did you do that for?". Make sure to keep this bookmarked for the 53-man roster deadline since that’s going to be the most important and significant roster update you’ll be doing this season. Given that EA updates the rosters in the server at least once a week, knowing how to do the update roster steps would prove to be useful for all Football managers out there. Thankfully, it’s very straightforward and you shouldn’t have a hard time remembering the steps from here on out, and you should be able to do this in your sleep. This will open the Rosters & Playbook menu.
