Want to know who made the list of the Top 50 highest-rated players list in NHL 14? We reveal ten players each day this week on this blog, starting at #50 and moving down to #1.

Although each player will receive an initial rating when the game launches in two weeks’ time, NHL 14 features Dynamic Ratings Updates, so the player’s performance in the real world results in changes to their in-game ratings.  

Learn more about Dynamic Ratings Updates, and see how hot and cold streaks will affect player ratings in both Play Now and Online Versus modes*.
