Card Art

I miss actual card art -- these days we're just getting some stock photo slapped into an AI generated border, maybe (if we're lucky) to get some slightly retouched or reworked assets layered on top for good measure.  Uff.  Low effort, high volume.

Remember when they had an actual art team to pump out unique, custom stuff for each and every single promo?  Now it's some dude on Twitter, not even sure he's getting forty hours per week.  He's almost certainly not a full-time, permanent Electronic Arts Orlando / Tiburon employee.  If i had to guess / speculate, i assume he's an independent consultant / contractor.  How sad.  These are dark times for us all.

I don’t remember the promo, (I actually thought it was Redux at the time. Very new to MUT lol.) but they were cartoon-y drawings. They were super dope.

I was a HUGE fan of many/most of these, specifically that Jackrabbit just was next level special for me, perhaps the 49ers theme team was a large part of that, but broadly speaking, this is the type stuff i miss most... from AKA New Class (basically AKA Icons, from M23).

I brought it up because I knew you would know lol. Yeah that’s exactly what I was talking about. I miss cards like that. The best they do now is recycle the good art and call it vintage.
