Now that the top rookies in the game have played in an NHL game, the silly rule that officially makes rookies "official" in the NHL means we now have the likes of Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel included in the game.
We have not yet had the chance to dig too deep into this roster update, so let us know what else you find. If you're looking for where to download the roster, you'll want to head to the "customize" area, and from there you will have the option to download the latest roster to tweak to your liking.

Another week is wrapping up in Diamond Dynasty. This week went by in standard fashion, and we got the Hunt for October pack on Friday. With that in mind, it's time to look ahead once again and try to predict who might be getting a ratings boost on Monday morning.
I'll be breaking the predictions into tiers based on my own confidence level:
Ratings Boost Probability: High
Francisco Lindor - So yeah, I think it's fair to say Francisco Lindor has stolen Carlos Correa's thunder. He's got five home runs this month, another five stolen bases, and he's hitting close to .400 during that time. Oh, and he has an OPS close to .850 in his rookie season. Plus, he's a good fielder. Rookie of the year.
Madison Bumgarner - It's hard to keep ignoring what Bumgarner is doing. It's another month where nobody can get on base against him, and it just seems like every time he goes out now there's no chance the Giants don't win the game.

So the Week 2 roster update has gone live. We don't know much about what changed because, well, EA hasn't said what did.
UPDATE: EA has posted a new blog with some of the updates to the roster and included a spreadsheet with all of the changes, including changes to depth charts and injuries for all 32 teams.
GOING UP
- Tyrod Taylor, QB Buffalo Bills (+4 to 74 OVR)
- James Jones, WR Green Bay Packers (+3 to 84 OVR)
- Alex Smith, QB Kansas City Chiefs (+2 to 86 OVR)
- Aqib Talib, CB, Denver Broncos (+1 to 91 OVR)
- Jameis Winston, QB Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-2 to 79 OVR)
- Peyton Manning, QB Denver Broncos (-2 to 90 OVR)
- Adrian Peterson, HB Minnesota Vikings (-2 to 93 OVR)
- Kyle Long, RT Chicago Bears (-4 to 84 OVR)

Some folks are concerned that the speed of the gameplay in the retail version of FIFA 16 is faster -- or will be faster -- than that of the FIFA 16 demo. So what we did is put the games side by side in the same environment.
We have Chelsea vs. Manchester City at night on Professional difficulty. The audio for the left video is in the left ear, the audio for the right video is in the right ear.
So, do you see any differences?

FIFA 16 hit EA Access yesterday, so we wanted to post up a video of PES and FIFA in similar environments (The PES version can be found here).
FIFA lacks the Champions League license, so we could not put the Roma/Barcelona game in the exact same environment, but the teams and styles are what's most important here.
The game is played on World Class difficulty, and in the description below the video you can find some helpful time stamps.

With FIFA and PES now being available in some capacity (PES has been released, FIFA is on EA Access), we wanted to show off a video of both games in similar environments (FIFA version is here).
We went with a Champions League rematch between A.S. Roma and FC Barcelona. The PES game is played on Professional difficulty with the game speed set to minus-one. Fluid formations are on as well.
If you watch the video, you'll find some time stamps in the description below the video that might help you out.

Players On The Rise
It’s a busy week in Diamond Dynasty as 30-plus players were added via September call-ups. On the ratings front, the biggest winner is Yoenis Cespedes. He jumps four points this week and is now a 90 overall. The other player to join the 90-plus club this week is Nolan Arenado, as he jumped three points to 90 overall. The only other Gold players to receive boosts were Chris Davis and Ryan Braun.
On the Silver front, Jackie Bradley Jr. and Derek Holland received nice boosts to join that club (Bradley has received a major boost two straight weeks now). However, J.A. Happ got the biggest boost into the Silver tier as he’s a plus-seven week over week. Jeurys Familia also solidified his Silver status and became an 84 overall. In addition, it was a good week for the Seager family as Corey Seager was added to the game, and Kyle Seager got a plus-two boost to 84 overall.
Some other big Silver names that received boosts were Matt Kemp, Jaime Garcia, Yordano Ventura, Justin Upton and Kris Bryant.

First off, a big thanks to all of you as we had an amazing amount of entries. This was originally going to be a "top three" plays of the week, but at least for the first go around, there were just too many great highlights to pick from so we expanded it to the "top eight" plays. (The list will probably vary from week to week depending on the quality and amount of entries we get.)
Second, apologies that the first week of highlights took longer than expected to go up. We just felt we should wait to line it up with the first NFL Sunday of the season.
That being said, hope you guys enjoy, and we'll do this every week as long as we get enough worthwhile entries.

Another week is wrapping up in Diamond Dynasty. This week went by in standard fashion, and we got the Heavenly Hands pack on Friday. With that in mind, it's time to look ahead once again and try to predict who might be getting a ratings boost on Monday morning.
I'll be breaking the predictions into tiers based on my own confidence level.
Ratings Boost Probability: High
-Yoenis Cespedes - Cespedes was just upgraded on 8/31, but I mean how can I leave him off the list? He has nearly half his home runs the last month (15), and he's hitting everything in sight.
-J.A. Happ - This continues to be not a drill. Happ has an ERA of 1.00 the last month to go along with a strikeout per inning. He's literally been the best starting pitcher acquired at the trade deadline.
