Madden NFL 12: Arizona Cardinals Week Nine Roster

A good day for two young linebackers (Photo by Karl Walter/Getty Images)

The Cardinals blew a big lead against the Ravens, Kolb continues to see his rating slide, but a few people did get a nice little ratings boost this week.

Today, EA Sports released the ratings that will be available online tomorrow morning for those of of who own the game to download. We will take a quick look at some of the changes after the jump.

Star-divide

First, lets talk about the positives this week. Both of the young linebackers, Acho and Schofield saw slight boosts to their ratings after a good preformance against the Ravens. Hopefully they will continue to get more time on the field. Patrick Peterson and Beanie Wells also saw their ratings go up.

Now for the negatives, Brandon Keith went down and he was also benched for Bridges in this weeks update. Levi Brown was left alone, but I guess Donny felt sorry for how low his rating already was. Jefferson went down after being abused by Boldin. Vets Dockett and Haggans each saw slight decreases. And finally, Kevin Kolb continues his ratings tumble after a game where he was battered and bruised by the Ravens.

The Juggernaut was also added back to the roster due to the injury of Anthony Sherman.

Here is the list showing all of the ratings changes, and if there is anything you think should be changed in the ratings, tell Donny Moore the guy for EA Sports who handles the ratings changes. This is his Twitter account and he does listen to what fans tell him about who should go up or down each week.

Brandon Keith OL ARZ Decrease, from 74 to 73OVR

All Madden

Thats what Ive always played it on. The thing that gets me is all 7 were computer picks, no user picks. Not to mention I had a few bounce right off my hands. Thats Maddens biggest problem, its not how you play or the plays you call, it all comes down to the team you pick.

I have two or three dropped interceptions that are thrown right into my guys hands in every game

It's so lame

When guys get picks because of the CPU, I have to user pick everything!

High School players

Can pick off balls that the pros in Madden can’t…. That always frustrates me about the game.

i always roll with my cards, i run the rock with beans

70% of the time kolb throws to many picks pisses me off even my lady tells me i take it to serious lol but i luv to battle online.
I thow screens alot and use LSH as my fourth wideout pp21 is a flatout beast on madeen on D. and kickoffs so if u like to use the redbirds run the hell outta beanie quick tosses counters and screens it works well y’all

That is the strategy that always gets me a W

O how I miss when Warner got the light bulb in the update from 08, I’ve only been able to muster a 66-53 record, but nothing is sweeter than stomping someone playing with an elite team online with the redbirds.

That picture proves

exactly why Haggans and Porter’s playing time needs to switched with Scho and Cho’s, preferably through the first two weeks

I’ve been playing non stop since 08 and I always play Cardinals online. I was dominant all the way up until the most recent Madden. Madden did a good job portraying the Cardinals this year. They are terrible. No speed anywhere, No reciever besides Ftiz can get open, Kolb is terrible, and my guys can not intercept the ball. Peterson would be great if he could catch the ball. I think the only chance for me winning is I put Skelton in and switch out the TE to Housler.But it is definitely hard to be a Cardinals player this year.

The cardinals are good!

I don’t think I’ve lost with them. I’m like 15-0 using them. All u gotta do is ride beanie and work the ball to fitz! Ya and PP is a shut down corner on that game, u might as well forget about throwin at him.
