New Cards Tonight?

[Mainstream]

Has anyone seen Justin Smith on Xbox yet? I've been looking since the new cards were released and haven't found him.

Die-hard SEC folks will mock his "elite" status in the game.

That makes no sense, Thomas was a full-time LB in college, and won the Butkus Award for Best LB. I hope they fix that, just like they fixed Suggs.

He played DE in the 4-3 for the Cheifs. OLB in the 3-4 for Alabama. We'll see. To me it isn't that big of a deal as I'd rather have him as an End anyway.

If the game had better mechanics and programming for a 3-4 to really showcase it's strengths, it might be more of an issue. But most run a base 4-3 because the game screws up the 3-4.

Exactly, this is NCAA Ultimate Team, where he played with the Chiefs doesn't matter. The 3-4 to me works fine in the game, as a matter of fact, I have more trouble running against a 3-4 than a 4-3. And in a 4-3 under scheme, one of the OLB's plays close to the line like an End. Thomas would be perfect in that role.
