For those of you who are football fans now how crazy things have been over the last 2 weeks since the NFL lock-out ended. For those of you who are not let me try to explain. The normal NFL off-season lasts about 5 months with free agency, trading, and such. Most of the roster is set and done by the time training camps start at the end of July. Now that five months are packed into 3 weeks, things have been changing quickly with over 100 players changing teams. This means team rosters and rankings need to be updated for Madden 12.

I contacted EA to ask how these changes are going.

To answer your question, the rosters that ship on disc for Madden NFL 12 will represent rosters prior to the free agency period.  We will provide a full downloadable roster update at launch that will reflect all the various free agency changes.

For Wii specifically, there will be roster updates on the Wii version as well. If you go online you will be prompted to download them and we added a notification to the main menu when they are available.
