The above Upper Deck card is styled as such just to suit the template system that OOTP uses. The Upper Deck would technically use this Landscape back but I chose to use Profile because:
- There are only 5 stats I can use now. Not a lot is gained by using that extra width.
- The actual card back has the right-half of the card with a secondary player photo, fit for only an action shot. We can't do that and probably never will (it's called FaceGen for a reason). I could fake it by placing a static photo that would be the same on each card (or some other kind of design), but when I did that, it really detracted from the look of the card rather than add to it. It was addition by subtraction.

Seeing those cards really makes me wanna pick em up.
