Then later Nick Ahmed was drawn. 60 in 19 and 75 in 20.
Cody Allen went from 66 to 80.

The biggest change is that the 20 live cards will start based on their pre-season ratings projections, whereas the 19 live cards were based mostly on the 2019 season results. So Cody Allen's projections are obviously much better than his 2018 season results were.
Also of course, the projections and ratings for players will evolve, so don't assume that Allen will stay an 80 when PT opens for beta or for real.
But yes, overall, I would expect every card to shift in ratings, to varying degrees. Just because a guy's card sucks right now doesn't mean he won't suck when things get going (not even counting how much things change when live cards get updates).
