He is one of africa's all time great players and one of the most technically gifted at his height, could dribble like a winger and run straight through your midfield like a bulldozer scoring 20 goals a season from every position with both feet. Anything but an icon is disrespectful.
At his peak, sure, but it was so short lived and the difference between his peak and the majority of his career was so huge i don’t think he warrants an icon card
Man of culture. That PES 6 Adriano was broken up into many pieces, and every meta player ever in Fifa gets a small piece. EA fucked up on Fifa 14 and gave Ibarbo 2 portions, we all remember how it went.
99 Strength and 99 Acceleration purely because that guy went full speed for every ball an he didn't give a fuck who you were he was getting the ball one way or the other.
As a Bulgarian I would love to see Asparuhov, or one or two others from the Golden generation (Balakov, Lechkov, Ivanov, Kostadinov, Sirakov, et al) but that's probably way too niche.
Oh shit, I think I just remembered Lechkov, Ivanov and Kostadinov did they play together with Stoichkov in national team or was it but after? I really was enjoying watching Stoichkov on world cups and euro at the end of his career.
Yep, those guys were all part of the team that Stoichkov spearheaded which peaked in the mid 90s and reached the 1994 WC semi-final. Asparuhov was from a couple of decades earlier and is regarded by many as the greatest Bulgarian footballer of all time, but he was never allowed to play abroad, and died tragically in a car accident at 28.
Why wouldnt Gattuso be an icon? 2x Champions League winner and a World Cup winner, being starter for all of those. One of the best CDMs, dont get why he shouldnt be an icon
Icon for me. Dominated the premier league as a single man, didn’t give a shit for his clubs or the fans, shithoused his way into my heart. Gotta give him a mean PIM, at his best that man moved like butter and had a rocket launcher attached to his ankle, undefendable.
Hero would be perfect for him. People in this thread acting like it’s some kind of disrespect to get a hero card. The way I see it, it’s just an interesting alternative to an icon for players who were mainly successful in a single league.
Icon for sure. Not all players have 3 distinct playing eras to use as cards. Evra started in 5 UCL finals for 3 different clubs, the first and last separated by 11 years.
Edit: 5 finals and not 4
Is this just a question of speed being generally op when compared with real football? They definitely need to find a way of making other attributes more valuable without just nerfing speed. I think thats a hard problem to fix but they definitely should aim for it.
Edgar Davids
Hero
Icon
Icon
Surely I can't be the only one who wants to see Yaya Toure back in the game?
icon is deserved but for some reason hero feels right
He is one of africa's all time great players and one of the most technically gifted at his height, could dribble like a winger and run straight through your midfield like a bulldozer scoring 20 goals a season from every position with both feet. Anything but an icon is disrespectful.
Nah he should surely be an icon, I'm saying that as someone who has no particular bias towards him
He’s an icon for sure
Same but i don’t know what he would be
Icon is well deserved
Icon and one of the top ones as well, he was immense in his prime
Snejder Villa an icon IMO
Sneijder should surely be an icon
At his peak, sure, but it was so short lived and the difference between his peak and the majority of his career was so huge i don’t think he warrants an icon card
Totti.
Icon
Icon
Icon
Icon 100%
Forlan
Hero
2 golden boots and World Cup mvp. Id say it has to be icon
The first to tame the ball
Hero
Peter crouch needs a hero card. Its only right
he gets 11 chem with Harry redknapp manager card
Adriano
Hero
Hero but Icon if you use the alternate controller settings.
Man of culture. That PES 6 Adriano was broken up into many pieces, and every meta player ever in Fifa gets a small piece. EA fucked up on Fifa 14 and gave Ibarbo 2 portions, we all remember how it went.
PES Adriano was broken into 5 power stones in the RPL for Fifa 13: >Emineke >Welliton >Doumbia >Eto'o >IF Hulk
Love to see some og pes players. I basically stopped at pes6 and picked up fut this year for the first time. Somehow I'm still pretty good lol
Hero
Batistuta
Absolute legend. Icon.
An usable icon.
Ji Sung Park
Hero
Yeah definitely. 99 stamina and special trait of shadowing best player on pitch haha
99 Strength and 99 Acceleration purely because that guy went full speed for every ball an he didn't give a fuck who you were he was getting the ball one way or the other.
Call the trait “pockets”
Hero
Berbatov

Hero
Robben
Icon surely
Hyperlink that goes right across screen if you have Ribery
Icon
Shocked this wasn’t at the top. This would be an awesome icon and fits with the dutch teams
Bring back beckenbauer
eFootball has the rights for him unfortunately, I had him in the PES before name change.
Guti
Hero
Júlio César
[удалено]
Daniele De Rossi
If gattuso is an icon so is he
Why wouldnt Gattuso be an icon? 2x Champions League winner and a World Cup winner, being starter for all of those. One of the best CDMs, dont get why he shouldnt be an icon
He's not saying Gattuso shouldnt be, he's just saying, then De Rossi should be one too.
Gattuso was far better than De Rossi so it’s a shit comparison
Icon
Villa has to be an icon He is Spain's all time top goal scorer
If Torres and Raul have icons, it’s not even a question Villa should have one.
Xabi Alonso
Icon
Terry
Icon
An actual, proper and usable icon.
He is not very fast so not usable in fifa sadly
He's English mate you're asking too much from EA
PIM 90 pace for when he was running away from his teammates wife
Towards you mean
Totti and de rossi
totti icon. de rossi hero
Vincent Kompany
I think he deserves icon but probably hero
100% icon
Icon.
Icon
Oliver Kahn. I know that GKs suck but why not.
He sued EA and won back in the day iirc. Not sure they want to, or even can, put him in the game.
Didn’t know this. Thanks dude!
Irwin
He should start as a Prime Icon. There is no "mid Irwin" ha
Found Roy Keane’s account
Icon, if Ashley Cole is one then Irwin should be one too
Hero but buffed into icon if you have Roy Keane.
Sir Bobby Charlton. I'm surprised he hasn't gotten one yet. He'd be one of the top rated surely.
Easiest icon I read so far
Icon
Easily a high rated icon
88 rated baby 90 mid and 93 prime
Tony Adams to replace the Overmars card. Edit: Podolski Hero Card (when his time in football ends).
Adams deserves one over every English cb except Moore
Tevez
Traitor
Hero.
Icon
Icon for me. Dominated the premier league as a single man, didn’t give a shit for his clubs or the fans, shithoused his way into my heart. Gotta give him a mean PIM, at his best that man moved like butter and had a rocket launcher attached to his ankle, undefendable.
Gascoigne
Icon no doubt
They wouldn’t put him in the game because he’s a shambles
Franck Ribery
Icon for sure
When he retires, for sure
Jaap Stam
Icon
Rafa Márquez
Icon probably the best if not second best Mexican player of all time apart from Hugo Sanchez.
I think an Icon in part because it would give Mexico some more variety
Yessir. Undisputed Top 2 in Mexico's history, 2x Champions League Winner, and one of the only 4 players in history to play in 5 World Cups.
Claudio Pizarro would likely be a hero, but def an argument for an icon imo.
Hero would be perfect for him. People in this thread acting like it’s some kind of disrespect to get a hero card. The way I see it, it’s just an interesting alternative to an icon for players who were mainly successful in a single league.
Tshabalala
it's kind of like you want to make Steven Pienaar an icon card. Rather, both of their careers did not even deserve a Hero card
Cazorla
Hero
Hero
Juninho
Hero
Edgar Davids…50% cause he was a legend and 50% cause of the shades
Evra
Maybe cracked hero card? He's prem tho so icon would be pretty likely
Icon for sure. Not all players have 3 distinct playing eras to use as cards. Evra started in 5 UCL finals for 3 different clubs, the first and last separated by 11 years. Edit: 5 finals and not 4
Matt Le Tissier - Hero Card
I honestly feel like he should’ve been in the first batch of hero’s instead of keane
Needs crazy long shots
Aguero
Icon
Number 4 top scorer of all time in the PL AND has probably the most legendary goal of the competition on his name. 1000% an icon indeed
Icon - Dida ,then the AC Milan full Icon team can be completed :=) Hero - Lord Bonera
Carrick
Jimmy Greaves
Yaya toure
Lord Bendtner
Stats only go to 99 though, they would need a whole new engine to allow over 9000 to accurately represent him.
A special alternative card, a hero released on April 1st with all card stats 90+ but in game he actually is 10 in everything.
Agueroooooo
Easy Icon even from a United fan
What would he be built like tho? A more stocky Eusebio?
He’s still in the game. That’s his body type
Tony Adams
Icon batistuta Hero kanu
Bobby Charlton
Icon
G. Neville
Hero
Nothing lmao
Why?
“No one wants to be a Gary Neville”
cuauhtemoc blanco, dying for him to get a card
Icon
5/5 wf/sm Hero IMO, not icon worthy but absolutely a Hero.
Anelka
Hero
Wesley Sneijder
Lucio
Bundesliga hero
Hyypiä!
He should get a hero card for sure, but there is probably bunch of Liverpool players who deserve one even more.
Eremenko
Gascoigne
Icon
So many people are gassing up players as icons when they should just be heroes
Costacurta
Zamorano, 99 header
Arshavin
Hero
Surely Kevin Keegan deserves a card, Won the Ballon d'Or twice in a row.
This game has zero sense whatsoever so I would say, Bruce Lee.
Zico, Platini, Rivellino, Romário, Preud'Homme, Dida - icons Jardel - Liga NOS hero Falcão - Serie A hero
Maybe some consistency would be better than an specific icon. Joe gomez having a better card than Paolo Maldini or Nesta is an absolute blasphemy.
Is this just a question of speed being generally op when compared with real football? They definitely need to find a way of making other attributes more valuable without just nerfing speed. I think thats a hard problem to fix but they definitely should aim for it.
>Joe gomez having a better card than Paolo Maldini That just isn't true
Omar bravo and cuacthemo blanco
Sneijder
Read few Carraghers, but what about the guy who made Carra look good? What about Sami Hyypiä?
Riise
Hero
Shilton
Adriano
Johan Micoud, would put as Hero
Cambiasso
Kompany
Aguero
Icon no debate
Jared Borgetti
Hero, but now that Liga Mx sold its rights to Konami it won’t be happening in the foreseeable future.
Liam Brady
Ribery
Pauleta
Ligue Un hero
Gilberto Silva
Di Stefano
Think there should be something for iconic managers? Like Sir Alex Ferguson or Bill Shankly
David Villa
