Wrapping up our first game of EASHL, this game does end up going into OT. In addition, I quickly show off the new "badges" system at the end of the video. For those unaware, the "badges" are basically things you gain XP from via completing certain tasks in games. It does not impact your attributes, it is purely a visual identifier when in the menus with other EASHL players.
Here is Period 1 and Period 2 in case you missed them. In addition, you can Subscribe to our YouTube page if you want.

Continuing on from earlier today, the second period of our first EASHL game is now live. Both teams get on the board in this period. In addition, one observation is that both goalies have played pretty well, which was rarely the case in the EASHL Beta. Not sure if that means they're just solid, or they're using the new goalie controls, or the goalies have just been improved a bit since the Beta ended.

Konami has unveiled what they're saying is the full list of licenses you will see in PES 2016. It details what licenses, stadiums and competitions are available, as well as what licenses they own on each continent. Lastly, it highlights which licenses will become active at a later date via a patch.
La Liga, Liga Adelante, LFP Ligue 1, LFP Ligue 2 and Dutch Eredivisie are the leagues that they have fully licensed. On top of that, PES continues to have exclusive Champions League rights.
Head over to the link above or below to read the full list of licenses.

With EASHL drop-in back to being a thing (along with the EASHL itself), I thought I would show it off for our first group of NHL 16 videos (parts two and three will be posted throughout the day). I talk through some of the changes that have taken place since the EASHL Beta concluded as well.
One note, I do not mention that you can now change the size of the indicators that hover above players in games of EASHL, which should not be overlooked as I'm grateful the option exists. By default, the game still sets the indicators to "largest" size, but you can change and save your settings if you switch the indicators to one of the other settings. In the video, I change the indicators to "small" at about the seven-minute mark.
Also, feel free to click that Subscribe button over on our YouTube page if you want to make sure to get every one of our videos.

This will be the ninth version of Tecmo Super Bowl released by the team. This game is built on the original Tecmo Super Bowl ROM, but of course it is then modified each year to include new rosters and actual gameplay changes as well.
The instructions on how to play and download the latest version of the game can be found here.

Konami has released an official blog today detailing the changes coming to the Master League in PES 2016.
You can find plenty of screenshots over at the above link detailing the new "live screens" in the game, as well as the all-new cutscenes, scouting changes, team stats details, new team updates, alterations to player development, and the focus on switching clubs as you move up the ranks.
With the FIFA 16 demo releasing yesterday, and PES 2016 coming out next week, this Konami blog also serves as one more reminder that soccer season is upon us.

Players On The Rise
It was a quiet update this week as I’m sure the Labor Day weekend brought about some needed rest and relaxation for the development team. The big note though is that there is a new member of the Diamond Club as Joey Votto was given a plus-three boost.
Beyond the Votto update, Edwin Encarnacion got some much needed love as well and took back his Gold status. Some youngsters also got a boost this week with Raisel Iglesias and Jackie Bradley Jr. both getting a boost. I put Encarnacion and Iglesias in my predictions column last week, so I was just a week early in predicting their increases.
Jake Arrieta is someone I put in my predictions column last week and this one, and it paid off staying true to Arrieta as he was boosted to a 90 overall this week. Lorenzo Cain also solidified his Gold status with a boost to 87 overall.
Tier Changes
(All thanks go to Daddy Leagues for these numbers! They're so on the ball I no longer have to sync up before and after roster update video clips to do all the changes myself.)
- Edwin Encarnacion went from Silver to Gold
- Jackie Bradley Jr. went from Common to Bronze
- Ryan Zimmerman went from Bronze to Silver
- Joey Votto went from Gold to Diamond
- Raisel Iglesias went from Bronze to Silver
Enny Romero +4 boost in Overall rating (59 Overall)
Edwin Encarnacion +2 (86) -- +5 Con vs. R / +3 Pwr vs. R / -7 Pwr vs. L
Jackie Bradley Jr. +5 (70) -- +10 Con vs. R / +24 Con vs. L / +10 Pwr vs. R / +14 Pwr vs. L
Lorenzo Cain +2 (87) -- -2 Con vs. R / +4 Con vs. L / -1 Pwr vs. R / +11 Pwr vs. L
Chris Young +6 (75)
Scott Feldman +4 (75)
Colby Rasmus +1 (74)
Jake Marisnick +1 (68)
Vidal Nuno +4 (76)
Ryan Zimmerman +3 (80) -- +8 Con vs. L / +3 Pwr vs. R / +17 Pwr vs. L
Jake Arrieta +2 (90)
Joey Votto +3 (93) -- +2 Con vs. R / +3 Con vs. L / +7 Pwr vs. R / +7 Pwr vs. L
Raisel Iglesias +5 (81)
Alejandro De Aza +1 (71)

Another week is wrapping up in Diamond Dynasty. This week went by the books as we got the August Topps 50 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
Jake Arrieta - All Arrieta did after throwing a no hitter was go out and throw eight shutout innings in his next start. He feels like a lock to get a boost. (For the record, after watching the replay of the no-no, the Dodgers’ official scorer seemed to give Arrieta one relatively generous call somewhat early in the game by calling a could-be hit an error on Starlin Castro.)
Jackie Bradley Jr. - Wow, what a month (and really, second half) for Bradley. He’s got six home runs and an average over .400 the last month of the season. On the year, he’s got an OPS of .959. He’s put it together.

Players On The Rise
The youth movement got some nice upgrades this week. Miguel Sano, Rusney Castillo and Francisco Lindor all went from Bronze to Silver -- Kyle Schwarber got a boost as well but remained a Bronze. A couple pitchers reclaimed some of their former luster with Kris Medlen and Justin Verlander getting boosts.
Mike Fiers got his no-hitter ratings bump one week later, much like Iwakuma had gotten following his no-hitter (presumably Arrieta gets one next week as well). In terms of established stars, Cespedes built on his Gold status and Greinke built on his Diamond status.
Tier Changes
(All thanks go to Daddy Leagues for these numbers! They're so on the ball I no longer have to sync up before and after roster update video clips to do all the changes myself.)
- Mychal Givens went from Common to Bronze
- Rusney Castillo went from Bronze to Silver
- Miguel Sano went from Bronze to Silver
- Francisco Lindor went from Bronze to Silver
- Justin Verlander went from Bronze to Silver
- Mike Fiers went from Bronze to Silver
- Tanner Roark went from Bronze to Silver
- Kyle Lohse went from Bronze to Silver
Liam Hendriks +6 boost in Overall rating (76 Overall)
Chris Capuano +5 (75)
Steve Pearce +1 (73)
Mychal Givens +9 (70)
Junichi Tazawa +2 (84)
Rusney Castillo +2 (78) -- +8 Con vs. L
Kris Medlen +4 (83)
Miguel Sano +4 (81) -- +18 Con vs. R / +4 Con vs. L / +19 Pwr vs. R / +4 Pwr vs. L
Francisco Lindor +5 (81) -- +10 Con vs. R / +23 Con vs. L / +7 Pwr vs. R
Justin Verlander +5 (82)
Mike Fiers +5 (80)

Tyler Lyons +4 (73)
Kyle Schwarber +1 (77)

Over on our YouTube page, I have posted a bunch of comparison shots that show some differences between the graphics in NBA 2K15 versus NBA 2K16 to this point. I'm sure we will do another one of these videos closer to launch or right after, but for now you can check out some side-by-side shots.
You can also just watch the video to enjoy record-spinning Kevin Durant turning into psychedelic Kevin Durant and then becoming haunted Kevin Durant.
Like, comment, subscribe y'alllllllllll. Oh, and as I say in the video, you can also look in the description below the video for time stamps to each one of the screenshots.
