    This week's MLB The Show 16 livestream focused on the two new ways to play Diamond Dynasty: Battle Royale and Conquest.


    Battle Royale is a double-elimination online event that users must buy into via tickets earned in-game. The better the user performs, the better the exclusive rewards they can earn. Users will hand-pick their roster through a 25-round draft, similar to that in Madden NFL's Draft Champions mode.

    Conquest is a single-player mode where users will attempt to earn 'fans' to help them conquer North America by capturing and defending territories against all MLB teams. Games in this mode are only three innings with the user's Diamond Dynasty squad (no draft).

    The stream concluded with a look at some player ratings and also the final rounds of the developer tournament. Continue on to watch an archive of the livestream. ...

    The full roster has been revealed for EA SPORTS UFC 2. Featuring 250+ male and female fighters across ten weight classes, the roster includes legends, current competitors, as well as Mike Tyson.

    Several fighters exist across numerous weight classes, meaning there are multiple versions of some putting the number of unique competitors below the 250 mark. However, with such a large and diverse roster, the game should benefit from a varied experience within career mode, hopefully minimizing repeat matches and/or career paths, and also providing a significant number of options for users across the game modes.

    The roster reveal tab on the official product website also includes an area for detailing fighter ratings, however none have been disclosed to date.
