EA released the new roster update for week 4,NFL Coins sale and that means we get our newest player ratings. One of the best parts of the Madden season is watching the player ratings go up and down, and the pros at Madden School study the ratings as close as anyone. We’re dedicated to keeping you informed, so we’re covering player ratings through the Madden 18 NFL season. Here’s our Madden 18 week 4 player ratings update winners and losers.

It was a great week for Philly’s Offensive Line. 4 out of 5 starters across the Eagles’ O-Line saw their overall ratings go up. Pretty impressive if you like playing with the Eagles. As for Kelce, he rose a whopping 5 points overall making him a big winner in this week’s player ratings update. He needed the boost, too. Kelce had been off to a rough start, and his overall rating was way down. Hopefully he can sustain this rating.

Jumping up 4 points this week is MLB Todd Davis who played a big part in shutting down the Buffalo Bills running attack and Lesean McCoy. Davis goes up from a 78 to an 82 which is a big leap. Anytime a player jumps from the 70’s to the 80’s,mut 18 coins buy it’s a nice boost. In particular, Davis got a TAK boost up to an 88, and his BSH rose to an 86. Davis is a big winner in the week 4 Madden player ratings update.

This comes as no surprise given Lewis’s big game against Baltimore this past Sunday. Lewis scored on more than one occasion, and he’s rewarded with an incredible five point boost in his overall rating. On a side note, Jaguars QB Blake Bortles, who threw those TD’s’ to Lewis, went up by two points overall. Lewis sees a big jump in his RBK as it went up by 12 huge points. That’s an incredible leap for one rating, but more importantly, Lewis’s RTE rating rose by 7 points. Clearly, Lewis is a big time winner in the week 4 Madden 18 player ratings update.

The rookie LT for the Denver Broncos jumped an enormous 6 points to go from a 74 to an 80 overall. The biggest improvement for LT Garrett Boles is his PBK rating as it jumped up an amazing 7 points from a 75 to an 82. Boles also saw a big leap in his RBK rating as it’s up by 5 points from a 79 to an 84. Very important rating hikes for the rookie LT. Great news if you’re thinking about starting a CFM with Denver’s current roster.

At Christmas time, latest book,Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor would send her colleagues gift-wrapped packages of homemade beef jerky from her family’s cattle ranch in Arizona. Her colleague Ruth Bader Ginsburg pronounced it “very spicy.”

Now, home chefs can try making their own, with guidance from O’Connor’s supplier, her brother. His jerky-making instructions, minus the family’s secret sauce, are part of a new book on the Supreme Court’s food traditions. “Table for 9: Supreme Court Food Traditions & Recipes,” out this month, is part history book, part cookbook. It includes more than three dozen recipes associated with justices and their families.

“Food in good company has sustained Supreme Court Justices through the ages,” Ginsburg writes in the book’s forward.

Food is a way the court’s nine justices connect. There are welcome dinners for new justices and retirement dinners for those who are departing. O’Connor, the court’s first female justice, revived a tradition of the justices regularly eating lunch together. And when a justice has a birthday, there is wine, a toast and the singing of “Happy Birthday,” a tradition begun by Chief Justice Warren Burger, who led the court in the 1970s and 80s.

Clare Cushman, the book’s author, said her offering is in part a response to visitors asking at the Supreme Court’s gift shop whether the court had a cookbook. The White House visitor center’s gift shop has several books on food and entertaining, and some tourists expected the court would too, said Cushman, the Supreme Court Historical Society’s director of publications. So, for a decade, when Cushman came across a recipe or a food anecdote with a link to a justice, she’d put it in a folder.

“The more I researched the more I realized that this was a really substantial topic and that it wasn’t going to be fluffy or ridiculous to ask these extremely distinguished judges questions like: What are your favorite foods and what do you eat for lunch?” Cushman said.

Cushman said that to research the book she, with help from Supreme Court curator Catherine Fitts, contacted 35 families of justices to ask for recipes and family food stories. The results include instructions for the pineapple and coconut cake Chief Justice William Rehnquist’s wife baked annually for his birthday. Maureen Scalia, the wife of the late Justice Antonin Scalia, the first Italian-American to serve on the court, contributed a pasta sauce recipe.

Louise Gorsuch, the English-born wife of Justice Neil Gorsuch, shared her marmalade recipe. Gorsuch, the court’s newest member, by tradition serves on the committee that oversees the court’s public cafeteria.

Readers also learn about the justices’ food habits. The first chief justice, John Jay, liked oysters for breakfast. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr brought his lunch in a tin ammunition box. And Justice John Paul Stevens’ regular lunch was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with the crusts cut off.

More than two decades after Robin Williams conquered the pesky board game, lifestyle“Jumanji” has been resurrected with more and glossier stars (Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart and Jack Black), a comedy director and a “modern” twist. The result, “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle,” is a very sweet, and generally entertaining lark with some nice messages about believing in, yourself.

Why it had to be “Jumanji” is the head-scratcher. The idea that a die-hard “Jumanji” fanbase exists, or that the “brand” is so rock-solid that it needs a reboot, seems dubious at best.

There are pointless sequels everywhere, and questioning their existence is fruitless. And Jake Kasdan’s “Welcome to the Jungle” spends a fair amount of unnecessary time trying to justify how it is connected to the original including a whole prologue how it had evolved into a video game by 1996.

The conceit here is that when you’re transported into the game, you are suddenly a character in the game, in body, voice and skillset but with your earthbound personality pretty much intact.

This is how a group of mismatched teens sharing the same detention, including the nerdy, shy Spencer (Alex Wolff), the football player Fridge (Ser’Darius Blain), the superficial popular girl Bethany (Madison Iseman) and the too-smart for gym class Martha (Morgan Turner), transform into avatars played by Dwayne Johnson (Spencer), Kevin Hart (Fridge), Jack Black (Bethany) and Karen Gillan (Martha).

It’s a role reversal for everyone‚ the nerdy girl is hot, the hot girl is a soft, middle-aged man, the skinny guy is The Rock and the big football player is now tiny and wimpy, and they all have to go through the stages of learning to accept their new bodies, talents and shortcomings. There is of course a lot of easy comedy in these situations‚ Spencer admiring his new muscles and Bethany getting used to her new anatomy among them.

And all the main actors are kind of great at imitating the facial expressions of their teenage counterparts. How can you argue with a bunch of movie stars acting goofy and hawking a “believe in yourself” message? There are some odd beats and choices, but “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” probably doesn’t warrant that much scrutiny. Its surface pleasures are strong enough for a fun holiday afternoon at the movies.

Some action role-playing games are built upon certain systems, they dictate the rules and how to kill something else. Path of Exile is no exception, and it has lots of characteristics with newer ARPGs which have come out recently. It is simplified in some respects and more complicated in others aspects, which is the characteristic of the game.

Now even between the same skill using the same mechanics there could be differences in tooltip dps for something like blade flurry. Because it is an avg hit and not dps, you have to manually factor in the atk speed as well. As the character gets stronger and Path of Exile Items become available(such as valuable POE Exalted orbs), that's because elemental damage comes into supplement physical damage and strengthens the character's offensive capabilities.

All that being said, your character is probably undergeared(at least if your aiming for uber atziri and gaurdians/shaper) Some suggestions I have would be :

1) Dont use melee damage on full life unless your a CI build, even if you can manage to somehow maintain full life all the time, it would only be a little better than other supports.

2) Kinda ties in to the above, VAAL PACT! This is not necessary but makes the game so much easier and autopilot if you have enough damage and leech. The way to play with vaal pact is pretty much drop all defenses, and get enough life to not get 1 shot by most things, then stack as much damage as possible. It lets you build defense by going full offense.

3) Get your uber lab ascendancy points, and use an onslaught flask. As a raider, your "unbuffed" dps is quite low because you rely heavily on frenzy charges and onslaught.

4) Not sure why you still have a mana flask, you have the duelist mana leech so mana shouldn't be a problem anymore. On that note, you don't need the big mana leech node, just grab the hybrid 0.4% to both life and mana leech and drop the other 2, saves you a point and adds to your life leech.

5) Poachers mark is unnecessary if you go vaal pact. could use something that gives dmg like herald of ash or a curse like vulnerability.

6) For your links consider either going poison(then scaling the double dipping appropriately), or phys to lightning and using weapon elemental damage.

7) Consider getting crit. Your already all over the shadow area so you could easily do so(just remove most of the nodes in the duelist area) It's just so much easier to scale damage if you go crit, theres a reason the softcore meta is dominated by crit builds.

8) Better flasks, you should only need 1 life flask at most, I say at most because with vaal pact, you could drop life flasks entirely. That might sound crazy to you right now, but once you get vaal pact with respectable damage, you will probably find that you don't really use your life flask much anymore. Though many people still run 1 life flask anyway so not really a big deal either way, just if your looking for that extra bit of damage, that last life flask can easily go. Lion's roar is your best damage flask, and the knockback can help or hurt, but once you start doing enough damage that you one shot things, you'll only be knocking back their corpses so itll be completely fine. Atziris promise and Taste of hate are also both amazing.

When you understand the nitty gritty of offense in the game, you can move to other details like defense etc. Being able to understand how your character attacks can help you better understand Path of Exile. For more poe news, you can click here.

It would be nice if GGG can finally say if it's a bug that guardians/elder influence still remains on the map if they are not killed. If people wonder why it could not be a bug, the upside is that you can fuck up your guardian/elder fight (i.e. use all portals) and just redo it.

My hat hunt got me to Karv's stream who got pm'd by uber about it. Naturally, I got curious and tuned to what uber is doing. 

So that dude is like, I just found out this bugabuse thing that is going on, I'll let my friend Karv know, then proceeds to talk about how busted it is and how it's "rip", to replicate the same thing after 15 minutes on stream while still rationalizing as to why it can't be bug abuse TO HIS AUDIENCE where ppl are like logging in just to abuse this. So instead of reporting it 50 hours or so ago, at least to make sure, he basically listens to twitch chat advice. It literally has nothing to do with "being pressured by ladder".

I realize the poor boy is scared of getting banned over this. But holy hell. He's basically the guilty party yelling "I'M INNOCENT I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG" before any repercussions hit him.

Basically, there's the mechanic that if you don't kill the guardian or run the map elder is on before the guardians are dead which is broken. Probably unintended and used by anyone who got to this point, as it's the best thing to do. It needs setup and you have to move elder and get lucky to get it on a map you want. Uber brings up the actual bug here imo.

Because what he's doing is not skipping the boss. Elder influence would go away after clearing like half the map, the boss doesn't have to die for this. Which he ackowledges, by the way. Then goes on to say "And that's why we're opening up multiple instances to circumvent that and let me explain to you why it's not bug abuse.", basically. And in his post compares it to torment and such with mods rotating based on time. Which doesn't apply here. This is the actual bug. Getting xx elder influenced maps out of what should be just one. And these do have extra packs.

Getting extra kills for the Endgame Grind Challenge indeed is basically whatever. Unless the Guardians give substantial exp, but I highly doubt that. It might very well be that spamming the elder map before the guardians are dead will be fixed too, though. At least there's hoping. If you want to know Path of Exile news, you can click here

The international break brought about another big week for the Ones to Watch (OTW) market. coins fifa 18 Two OTW items feature in the current Team of the Week (TOTW). However, looking at the data from the past week has allowed us to gain invaluable insight into the price trend of upgraded OTWs. And, when it comes to FUT investing/trading knowldge is power.

In the general FUT scene, EA finally released some quality Squad Building Challenge many players were looking for, and it seems to have stabilized players’ prices for now. This promo, Path to Glory, also came with a new batch of OTW-esque live cards. It will be interesting to see if their prices parallel the traditional Ones to Watch, but we’ll cover these cards later. Circling back to the stable prices, it raises the question if we’ve seen the worst of the crash, or if it’s just the calm before the storm?

Important Note: The data/prices will be taken from Xbox One. However, this year, player prices across both consoles seem more similar than ever. If PS4 enthusiasts have feedback, please let us know. The graph above is a concise overview of all the keypoints from the data I collected over the week (data below). Do not fret if some of the terms are unfamiliar as I will do my best to explain what they are, and how they are significant to the OTW market.

Highs/Lows These figures represent the highest and lowest prices of the items over the week. Note that these can come from any price during the week, so always check the price before listing.

– Quick take: Taking a look at the figure above, the highs and lows has captured the expected peak price of an upgraded OTW item. Specifically, looking at Bertrand Traoré, one can see there are some big swings in prices over the week (similar trend in Kylian Mbappe Lottin & Mohamed Salah). So, sell into the hype, while investing in the subsequent drop could yield great profit.Click to Buy

There was an obvious lack of La Liga candidates this week with only a handful picking up three stars from Marca, cheap fifa coins which is always a good indicator. Neto was one of those select few after making a total of five saves in Valencia’s 2-0 win over Espanyol.
Defenders

Dante – CB – OVR 81 With 0 goals, 0 assists and no clean sheet to his name it is safe to say Dante is my biggest punt this week. With no clear-cut Ligue 1 options and a lack of defenders alongside that with Dante picking up MOTM with a 7 from L’Equipe he could well stand out to EA and for that reason I am taking the risk.

Shkodran Mustafi – CB – OVR 84 It was the weekend of the NLD and Arsenal continued their good record against Spurs at the Emirates with a 2-0 win. Mustafi scored the first of those goals and looks set to pick up a SIF as a result.

Matthijs de Ligt – CB – OVR 76 Ajax recorded a colossal 8-0 win over Breda on Saturday and from that match I have predicted them to pick up two IF’s. The first of which comes with Ligt who scored twice alongside helping hold onto the clean sheet, claiming a huge 8/10 match rating.
Midfielders

Lorenzo Insigne – LW – OVR 85 I feel as though Napoli are nailed on for an IF after their 2-1 win over AC Milan but as to who that will be is up for debate with both Insigne, who scored the opener and Koulibaly, who was a rock at the back receiving high ratings from Gazzetta. It is always hard to look past the official MOTM though and thus I am giving Insigne the nod.

Radja Nainggolan – CM – OVR 86 Another punt from the Italian league now with another midfielder with one goal to his name on paper. It once again came in a big 2-1 win, this time for Roma in their match with Italy. Perrotti also stands a chance but for the same reasons as above I am happy predicting a Radja IF.Buy Now

fifa comprar coins fourth significant update’s been released to PC. What this usually means is we can expect Microsoft and Sony to approve the submitted update sometime in the next week or so for Xbox One and PS4 respectively. If you don’t see a specific bug, glitch, or feature you think absolutely needed to be tackled — don’t panic. EA’s almost assuredly aware of it, and their new continuous patch release cycle likely means it just wasn’t addressed in time to be included in this current patch.

Let’s take a look at what Title Update 4 will be bringing to the next generation consoles soon. We’ve emphasized a couple of bullets worth being mindful/aware of:Addressed the following issues in Career Mode:
- Players signed to pre-contracts, in the first season, not coming to your team if the first summer transfer window was disabled during your Career Mode setup.
- Some player attributes were missing from the Squad HUB.

-The tournament tree in the Women’s International Cup being empty after the semifinals.

Addressed the following issues in Audio / Visual / Presentation:
- Repetitive whistling that was heard in some stadiums.
- Some visual issues with the Bundesliga broadcast package.
- Updates to a number of crests and kits.

Thanks to those who’ve provided feedback. Throughout the course of the FIFA 18 season we’ll provide you with more information and updates if and when they come available.visit homepage

It’s a Tuesday, so the latest cheap fut coins Marquee Matchups Squad Buildling Challenges are here. FUT Economist and Futhead’s WyseFIFA came just a bit short of a second straight perfect week, but three of the four matchups are as expected.

Let’s start at the top with the group rewards. If you don’t do these SBCs regularly or are new to FIFA Ultimate Team, you have to complete all four of the SBCs in the group in order to receive the group reward.

We’ll subsequently work our way down through each of the sub groups taking a look at roughly what they’d cost to do at the time this was published, what the coin price of the rewards would ordinarily be, as well as a rough approximation of the minimum for what you could expect to sell the contents for in normal circumstances.It’ll be interesting to see if the end of the Black Friday SBCs (including the vaunted guaranteed TOTW SBC) have the expected impact on 83/84-overall’s prices. Market-wide prices increasing overall, however, may offset some of the potential opportunities the reduced demand in those would have presented later this week otherwise, particularly with the first Weekend League of December upon us.Click to Buy

Black Friday has come and gone. Personally,buy fifa coins I enjoyed most of the Flash SBCs, but was a little bummed they did not offer some sort of discount on pack prices. Alas, let’s focus on the market since this past week has given us a lot to analyze and digest.

For weeks, there has been uncertainty as to how EA would handle the Black Friday promotion, and so in the pre-hype period last week, we saw prices fluctuate different ways. However, during the time of the event, we saw low value and high value player prices react in polar opposite ways. The lower value items (82 and below) saw their prices slashed with increased supply, while most elite players (85+ & special cards) slowly began to rise as pent up buyers began to pull the trigger. So, shifting to the Ones to Watch market, one can see the prices mostly echoed this general market trend.

Important Note: The data/prices will be taken from Xbox One. However, this year, player prices across both consoles seem more similar than ever. If PS4 players have feedback, please let us know. The graph above is a concise overview of all the keypoints from the data I collected over the week (data below). Do not fret if some of the terms are unfamiliar as I will do my best to explain what they are, and how they are significant to the OTW market.

Highs/Lows These figures represent the highest and lowest prices of the items over the week. Note that these can come from any price during the week, so always check the price before listing.

– Quick take: Looking at the two categories on the graph above, it’s important to note that “elite” players, like Neymar and Mbappe are currently at their highs, while the lower-tier players (i.e Kessie and Hernandez) are at their lows. Maybe a shout to invest in the little guys? Homepage
