How to update rosters in Madden 22

Madden 22 fluctuates as much as the real-life atmosphere of the National Football League. 

As players are released, traded or injured in the NFL, the same happens in Madden 22. Players, most of the time, want the rosters in their Exhibition or Franchise matches to replicate what’s currently in place in the NFL. After all, in-season trades in the NFL can sometimes be league-shifting with a star player moving cities and jerseys. Or, perhaps a rookie quarterback has moved into the starting lineup. 

If players want their rosters to reflect what the NFL’s features, they can update their rosters in Madden 22. However, the process of doing this isn’t clearly laid out by EA in the new title. This article will give players a quick and easy explanation of how to make sure their rosters stay up to date. 

Updating rosters in Madden 22

In the past, players have physically tried to update the rosters in their game manually. This is quite tedious and there’s a much simpler way of doing things. 

First, you should check if there’s an update to the rosters in Madden 22. This is done by navigating to the home screen and pressing the NFL’s logo, which is the Rosters and Playbooks tab. Once here, you can click on “Update Rosters” to see if there’s an update available to download that makes sure each roster is current to match the NFL. 

If there is, then all you have to do is follow the steps to update the rosters, which only involves a small download to Madden 22. However, if there is no update but a star player was just traded, then you can manually update the rosters with the “Edit Roster” button on the Rosters and Playbooks menu. 

Although, you should wait most of the time. EA usually updates the rosters every week or so in every Madden title, so if there’s an update at the time you’re checking, chances are one is coming soon. Looking for more Madden 22 guides? Be sure to check out our dedicated section on the game.
