For the past week, EA Sports has been counting down the Top 50 highest-rated players in their highly-anticipated NHL 14 video game. Today, they name their Top 10 players in the game. They are as follows:

10. Jonathan Quick

9. Ryan Suter

8. Shea Weber

7. Jonathan Toews

6. Evgeni Malkin

5. Steven Stamkos

4. Zdeno Chara

3. Alexander Ovechkin

2. Pavel Datsyuk

And finally, the number one player in NHL 14 is...

1. Sidney Crosby

When NHL 14 launches on September 10th, each player in the game will receive an initial rating. These ratings are based on scouting reports provided by an official NHL Scout and factor in a player's offensive and defensive abilities. However, what's great about the NHL 14 is that these ratings are not static. Using a Dynamic Ratings Update System, EA Sports can actively update a player's rating inside the game as the 2013-14 season develops. That means hot and cold streaks will be reflected in the game, which will alter the game play experience over time.
