Madden NFL 12 Roster Updates: Indianapolis Colts…

The Week 8 roster update for Madden NFL 12 is set to come out on Friday for Xbox 360 and PS3 users. The Indianapolis Colts, following their 62-7 destruction at the hands of the New Orleans Saints, are not coming out well. If you play with the Colts online – first let me extend by deepest sympathy – it’s about to get a lot worse. There’s six decreases against two increases.

One of said increases is to a punter, so that makes it even more of a blow. Punters are a dime a dozen in Madden. But the decreases are really, really significant. Dallas Clark drops three points and Reggie Wayne drops as well. Another start player, Robert Mathis, drops a point as well. Go ahead and make the jump for the full list of changes for the Colts.

Star-divide

Increases

HB Delone Carter 70 to 71
P Pat McAfee 77 to 78

Decreases

QB Curtis Painter 70 to 69
TE Dallas Clark 92 to 89
WR Reggie Wayne 93 to 92
DL Dan Muir 73 to 71
DL Robert Mathis 94 to 93
LB Kavell Conner 79 to 77

Changes

OL Joe Reitz lowered on depth chart (injury)
OL Seth Olsen moved to LG #1 on depth chart
OL Mike Tepper moved to RT #2 on depth chart

Everything seems to be warranted, at least from a decrease standpoint, but the severity of said decreases seems questionable. It’s hard to defend a winless team, but does Dallas Clark deserve to drop out of the 90s? The consistently fantastic Robert Mathis finds himself dropping a point? Some of these things just don’t see right, all things considered.

Running low on time today, i’ll be back tomorrow hopefully with some more news.
