Once again Jim Brown never played a down in the NFL as an HB. Like Franco Harris, Brown was a Full Back his entire career. Because of the inaccuracy of Playbooks EA has moved one of the greatest players of all time to a different position. Perhaps later this year they will have How Montana at Kicker since so many teams could use a clutch Kicker this year. Perhaps they can move Ronnie Lott to WR and when a TE or HB on his team catches the ball if you play him as a Raider he will instinctively tackle them? Hey why not bring back Tim Tebow? And give him a higher trucking rating and make him harder to tackle than Earl Campbell. They've done that with Jerome Bettis. I don't recall Bettis ever running a draw play on 4th and 10 and making a 1st down. But Earl Campbell did. Earl Campbell played 6 years in the NFL and won 2 League MVPs that means he was literally the league MVP for 33% of his career.. No other player comes within 25% of that. And he was arthritic and barely got on the field the last year and a half. He should be 120 trucking and 120 break tackie with 97 speed and 98 strength and 95 elusiveness plus he didn't fumble so like a 94 carrying and he caught the ball so like an 86 catching. He was clutch, he didn't just fight for he got extra yards. He was the greatest power HB ever
One thing you neglect is that a fullback of old is essentially what a halfback of old is and vice versa. Roles have reversed. The term fullback literally means the running back furthest back in the formation, the halfback is half way between that running back and the LOS. So yes Brown and Okoye used to be fullbacks but in the modern era or at least MUT classification they are classed as the same as the likes of Zeke, Barkley etc etc
Okoye played in the 80s and 90s not when they had leather helmets and he played HB. EA got Okoye wrong. I watched this guy play. I have no idea how Deion Sanders and Ed Reid weren't unanimous selections, they were the best players who ever lived at their positions. Deion wasn't even a unanimous selection as one of the two return men. That's insane. Willie Brown isn't even in the Hall of Fame and he was a unanimous selection. And Ed was actually a FS who preferred playing on the strong side. I don't think anyone believes Bernard Pollard was a weak safety or Free Safety. Ed was so good he was Free to play where he wanted in the formation. Same with Ronnie Lott who played Strong Safety and did it in an era of big hitting big safeties like Steve Atwater and Kenny Easley. Lott out hit them at 190lbs. Lott should be SS and Ed FS and you shouldn't get penalized for playing them in any formation. I played SS and Money Backer in HS and College I know their positions I grew up watching these guys play.
This is not a decent rookie premier. Not even useable even in salary cap. Bosa should’ve got an 85 that would have at least been viable for Salary Cap.
82 speed wtf
He's a powerbacl, EA never puts speed on Powerbacks
Bo, Jim Brown, we’re probably getting a Bettis, Corey Dillon, Deuce McAlister, shall I continue?

LETS GO BABY !!! Where did dA bEaRs fans go ?! I want ALL THE SMOKE ????????
You want smoke? AFC Championship game, early 2000’s. Now sit down and shut the fuck up. It’s the Bears, nothing to get excited about

Antisemitism
That was past. The point he’s making is they’re better NOW
The Bears with Chase Daniel no less, and they beat them by 3.
I’m sorry did I reach out to the poor chargers on this one ? The same chargers who got knocked by a winless team ?? F OUTTA HERE
Finally a decent upgrade for a rookie premier
Watched him in the game against the bears. He did really good
This is not a decent rookie premier. Not even useable even in salary cap. Bosa should’ve got an 85 that would have at least been viable for Salary Cap.
He’s actually a solid in game card. I had Clinton portis as my HB1 then tried this guy and he’s a monster
Sold some cards in hopes for a josh Jacobs and Minshew and both are garbage cards
Exact same card as the rookie premier, dude is balling right now, he deserves bettr than this, that just straight lazy of EA smh
Jacobs beat the team that originally had the pick. Chicago playing against Jacobs proves that the Raiders raided Chicago of their first round picks.
