The Week 16 roster update for Madden NFL 12 is set to go live, and for Minnesota Vikings fans, it's a mixed bag. The team suffered a big loss in their last outing, being thoroughly outgunned by quarterback Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints, but then again, who isn't outgunned by him? Minnesota held on early, but quickly fell behind and there was nothing they could do. It was a game nobody really expected them to win, regardless.
For this week's roster update, the Vikings see nine changes, all of which are to player overall rating. Of those nine changes, the Vikings come out positively only slightly, with five players going up to four of them dropping. Unfortunately, the player decreases are more significant than the increases are, with guys like Chad Greenway and Christian Ponder dropping. Make the jump for a full list of ratings changes for the Vikings.
