The NFL postseason continues this weekend and EA has updated the Madden 15 rosters again to give fans the most recent ratings for players.
Now that the NFL regular season is over, the Madden roster updates will soon become final for the entire season. But there is still football left to be played, and that means a few more roster updates before the offseason kicks in and EA eventually stops updating rosters.

Thankfully, the latest roster update had finally arrived. EA took two weeks off before turning in the latest update but it has over three weeks worth of updates in it. Player performances from Week 16, Week 17 and the Wild Card round have been taken into effect, including injuries and starting lineup changes.
As far as overall ratings are concerned, players like Luke Wilson and Jeremy Hill took big jumps while other players like DeMarco Murray, Antonio Brown and Tony Romo saw small bumps to their overall ratings.
Odell Beckham Jr officially entered the upper echelon of Madden players, as he is now rated at 90 overall. While the Giants rookie sensation took a leap this week, Rob Gronkowski fell from the ranks of 99 overall, as missing a week end up costing him one whole point. Other players who dropped in ratings include Alshon Jeffery, A.J. Green, Trent Richardson and Larry Foote.
Still, despite the drops, most of the top players are still elite and players on the rise are being recognized for their efforts all season long. Odell Beckham Jr now grades out as the highest rookie of his draft class, which is fitting considering his late season performance.
Additionally, Rob Gronkowski — despite the slight downgrade — still ranks as the best player in the game next to J.J. Watt and is the top offensive player in Madden 15.
It’s not often that EA takes two weeks to send out updates, but the delay was planned. Some thought that the PSN hacks over the Christmas season effected the release of the roster updates but that’s not the case. Rather, EA planned on taking two weeks at the end of the season but are back with updates from here to the end of the season.
