The Week 12 roster and ratings update for Madden NFL 12 is set to go live on Friday, and with it comes a large list of changes for the Detroit Lions. Unfortunately, coming off their second straight loss on Sunday, the most recent to the New Orleans Saints, there are several players going down in rating. There's 17 changes overall, and 14 of those are to overall rating. Nine of those changes are decreases in player rating, which means there are five on the positive side.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford is one of the players on the positive side, and any time your franchise quarterback gets a boost, it's a helpful change on the game. Kicker Jason Hanson loses his rank in the 90s though, dropping from 90 to 89, which is always significant, while defensive lineman Cliff Avril sees a slight decrease as well. Make the jump for a full list of changes for the Lions.
