The roster and ratings update for Madden NFL 12 is set to go live for Week 14 on Friday. The Cleveland Browns are coming off a bad loss to the Baltimore Ravens, are no longer in the playoff picture, and the update is going to be rough for them. There's fourteen changes for the Browns, and all of them have to do with changes in overall rating. Unfortunately, nine of those changes are decreases in rating. That means there's five increases, at the very least.
The increases are significant, too, which is definitely a good thing. Cornerback Joe Haden moves back up to 90 from 89, and offensive lineman Alex Mack finds himself jumping two spots from 87 to 89. He's just short of joining the upper echelon of players with 90+ rankings, always significant. Several prominent players are getting decreases, so it's a mixed bag. Make the jump for a full list of changes for the Browns.
