Does EA typically do release new cards for transfer portal players? Would be cool to get something like a Nick Marsh IU card for my IU team chem.
I'm gonna say no because there's no way EA puts in that much effort or planning. I'd love to see player cards by year though. Say Fernando Mendoza gets a 72 OVR card for his freshman season at Cal. Then he gets an 81 OVR card for his sophomore season, also with Cal chemistry. Then he also gets a 95 OVR Indiana chem card for his junior year.
Similar with other players. Maybe Johnny Manziel gets a 95 OVR for his freshman season and then a 93 OVR for his sophomore season. Mostly I'd love to see specific schools for specific years - like Burrow: maybe a 65 at OSU, then a 95 at LSU. It would add more to the game IMO and also give justification for duplicating cards/players rather than making no sense and releasing the same player and card art later in the season with a higher OVR.
