Easily the most significant in terms of number of changes made, the third roster update for Madden 10 has been completed and will be out soon (hopefully today, possibly tomorrow) for the 360 and PS3. This update is meant to be accurate to the team’s 53 man regular season rosters following the final cut-downs as well as incorporate the moves made in the days following along with proper alignment of the depth charts.
Of note is the removal of Michael Crabtree from the 49ers depth chart. With over 3800 votes in the poll 71% agreed with that decision given that he remains unsigned. This of course will not affect any ongoing franchises and it is uncertain if he remains in the game possibly as a free agent or not. The update also includes the trade of Richard Seymour to the Raiders. In addition to the normal roster adjustments the pursuit ratings for all offensive players have supposedly been boosted to help prevent some of the pick sixes that were being seen a little too often.
