I found this on a Raiders forum but I don't see it on Pasta yet.
New link..EA SPORTS World - Madden 09 Roster Update #13

Quote:
The next Madden NFL 09 roster update will be available for download on Tuesday November 25, 2008. This week's update is highlighted by a ratings decrease to Philadelphia Eagles QB Donovan McNabb and a rating increase to Kansas City Chiefs QB Tyler Thigpen. Included below is the full list of all of the latest changes coming to Madden NFL 09 via the roster update.



Transactions

CB Simeon Castille - Signs with Bengals

LB Marcus Buggs - Released to FA IR

TE Nate Jackson - Released to FA IR

S Josh Barrett - Added to FA

S Roderick Rogers - Signs with Broncos

TE Chad Mustard - Signs with Broncos

HB Noah Herron - Added to FA

LB Curtis Gatewood - Added to FA

LB Rob Ninkovich - Released by Dolphins

LB Erik Walden - Signs with Dolphins

WR Eric Weems - Added to FA

S Stuart Schweigert - Signs with Lions

TE Tyson DeVree - Added to FA

T Chad Slaughter - Added to FA

DE Brandon Miller - Signs with Seahawks

DE Jesse Nading - Signs with Texans

LB Kevis Coley - Signs with Texans

CB Eric King - Released to FA IR

CB Reynaldo Hill - Released to FA IR

CB Tyrone Poole - Signs with Titans

CB Tuff Harris - Signs with Titans

DE Earl Cochran - Released to FA IR

S C.C. Brown - Released to FA IR



Ratings Up

QB Tyler Thigpen - Chiefs - 75 to 78 - Has displayed good arm strength in the Kansas City spread offense. The top fantasy QB over the last month heading into week 12.

HB Michael Turner - Falcons - 89 to 90 - Topped the 1,000 yard mark in a monster 4 TD game vs. the Panthers in a big division win.

CB Corey Webster - Giants - 87 to 88 - While Ross was committing penalties and struggling Webster was playing solid man coverage. Webster is playing at a very high level this season.

DT Kris Jenkins - Jets - 94 to 95 - Has made the biggest difference of any free agent acquisition on the defensive end. The Jets rank #3 against the run and Jenkins has thrived as the nose in the Jets 3-4.

CB Chris Johnson - Raiders - 70 to 74 - Was picked on starting opposite Asomugha and played well vs. Denver. The Raiders pass defense is shaping into the strength of the team.

LB James Farrior - Steelers - 92 to 94 - Has not slipped a bit in his 12th season. The Steeler D is as good as ever and Farrior is having one of his best seasons.



Ratings Down

DE Elvis Dumervil - Broncos - 89 to 87 - Has 3 sacks this season when Denver needs a pass rush. No sacks in the last 4 games.

QB Donovan McNabb - Eagles - 93 to 91 - The uncertainty at the WR position sure hasn't helped but his completion percentage is under 60% and he has been tailing off in prior weeks. Is still by far the best option they have and is still a top QB.

HB Fred Taylor - Jaguars - 94 to 93 - Disappointing season but the skills are still there. Big losses on the offensive line have hurt Taylor's ability to run. His 3.6 YPC and no rushing TD's are way down this year.

QB David Garrard - Jaguars - 92 to 91 - The Jags didn't have 9 TD's/8 INT's and a 4-7 record when they signed Garrard to an extension. To his defense the Jags have underperformed at about every position.



Injuries

CB Johnathan Joseph - Bengals - IR

WR Buster Davis - Chargers - IR

HB Felix Jones - Cowboys - IR



Contracts

WR Greg Camarillo - Dolphins - 4 years total

Still, its only two players. Fred Taylor is fortunate to have dropped to around a 91 or 90. Matt Jones should go up, I agree. Greg Jones is my favorite Jag and should be a 99 because hes a monster. Your young OLBs are pretty good too.

Yea but the 2 jaguars that dropped needed to drop. But I will say in your defense there are a few Jags players that need an increase such as Matt Jones, and Sensabaugh(if that's how you spell it)

thats how you spell it..

thats the thing, i just dont see how matt jones is only a 81 and same with sensabaugh..

at this point last year, roddy white was MUCH higher... had matt not been hurt last week, hed have even more impressive numbers.

I just dont get it, i HOPE that he fixed Durant and Daryl smith atleast as they were messeed up from last update

Its not like they weren't deserved drops, the Jags suck. If anything they need more drops.

I just can't believe that this update was so minimal as far as ratings increases and drops. Granted pretty much every team has players that need to drop, and increase, and there's a lot that goes in to making an update.

They had the most drops because they deserved t he most drops. They where HIGHLy overrated and you cant say that they werent badly overrated. 4-7 team rated higher than a 10-1 team......
