NFL Week 4 Madden 11 Roster Update Details Released

It’s hard to believe, but a quarter of the NFL season is almost over. NFL Week 4 is quickly approaching, and leading up to football Sunday, as always, EA Sports has announced the details for the latest Madden 11 roster update, which is scheduled to be available Friday morning.

While the season is still young, after three games most teams have a good indication of where they stand competitively. While being 0-3 is not a complete death sentence, and being 3-0 does not guarantee a playoff birth, the stats say those outcomes are very likely. At this point, we also have a better feel for how well players are performing this year. The best and worst performers from NFL Week 3, as decided by EA, have had their Madden 11 ratings altered to reflect more accurately.
