The Arizona Cardinals are 3-0? Did Madden 15 predict that? Probably not. Madden ranks them as an 80 rating or 16th best in the NFL.

Madden cannot possibly be correct about everything, but the Cardinals (3-0) and the Bengals (3-0) might be ranked a little too low. Madden gave the Bengals an 86 rating, sixth best in the NFL. The five teams above them all have at least one loss.

Player Ratings Update: Week 3's roster update came on Sept. 19, before Week 3's games. Philip Rivers was given a boost to a 92 overall rating (OVR). That is a one point increase. This is mostly due to his Week 2 dominance over the Seahawks.

Josh McCown, now a Buccaneer, left Thursday's game early with a sprain. He has been highly ineffective this year. He had only 420 yards and two touchdowns. He also has thrown four interceptions. Madden 15 dropped him down to a 80 OVR before his game against the Falcons (the Bucs lost 56-14). He will probably drop another two points OVR.

What will Madden do with AP? So, Adrian Peterson is in some big trouble. The Minnesota Vikings have basically black-listed him. They are content with moving on with younger, less experienced guys. But should Madden 15 remove him from the game like they did Ray Rice?

They could, but he is one of the best players in the game. He is fast, elusive and provides gamers with an excellent weapon. It is really up to EA Sports to make that decision. If Peterson finds a way to clear himself of all charges and maybe the Vikings (or another team) welcomes him back in open arms, EA Sports will be kicking themselves for taking him out and having to scramble to put him back in.
