Even though the actual football season doesn’t start for another week my Xbox Madden '09 is already out of date (Favre -\> Jets etc.). I’d like to play updated rosters and would be willing to go through all 32 teams to make it so, but I’m not sure if this is possible.

Can anyone help?

Never checked Favre, but I know I logged on the other day and they automatically had a roster update. I’m assuming they’re going to do another one after teams cut down to their regular season 53 man roster on Saturday.

I can give you a definite answer tomorrow, but I’m 99.99999% sure that they made that update. You _do_ have XBox Live, right?

Apparently all you have to do is connect with another player and before the game starts it will ask you if you want to update the roster, then you can just log off.

Thanks for the responses.

By the way, I keep reading this is the final Xbox game(it says so on Wikipedia, for example).

Is there a cite for that?
