They are so overpowered it’s absurd.

Im not good at this game.

It’s just another level of frustration to get beat by a team full icons

    If there weren’t icons on Ultimate Team i would play seasons instead. Literally the main draw to FUT for me, it certainly isn’t the gameplay.

    Exactly! I was trying to put my finger on what was wrong with this game. Is it the server issues, lag and input delay, the constant patches that break more than they fix, mystery game dynamics, EA’s blatant disdain for its customers? No: it’s the icons

    First time I’ve played a prime R9 on Fifa 20 today and he pretty much dismantled my team all by himself. Literally unstoppable against my team with 1 PIM, 2 Prime and 2 mid icon’s. I don’t wish there was no icons just wish there was a icon sbc so I could have him by now 😁

    This. I dont care for a team with 6 or more mediocre Icons. I want to Build Around 1 or 2 premium ones. But the ones I want would cost 15Million between them

    I hear you mate after the match I went to check R9 price and realised the only way I will have him this year is if I pack him in the prime Icon swap pack. 4 mil not even enough for mid R9 prices crazy this year

    Seeing as their pack weight is about 0.000000001%, they're not really an issue.

    Every once in a while I come against some Credit Card FC team with R9, Vieira, Gullit, etc, but for the most part I never see them.

    Never understood why that bothers people as this game is not a football simulator. It's like a Rocky flick -- you suspend disbelief and take it for what it is.

    They do ruin the game, but not in the way you're saying. They ruin the game because the majority of elite icons are unattainable for the majority of the player base.

    I've been playing PES 2020 the last three weeks, already have a team much stronger than anything I could have in Fifa. All the icons are usable too, how it's done in PES is much better.

    Agreed giving godly rated cards to players that have not yet earned , or in most cases will never earn such cards is a joke. The whole future stars promo is ridiculous.

    Had this been around years ago Federico Macheda and Adnan Januzaj would both have 90+ rated cards and look how quickly their careers nosedived.

    EA has zero respect for the game, whatever the ❤️❤️❤️❤️ shifts DLC

    The next promo could legitimately be players with the name Dave.

    Agree with this... it shows in what EA do with the top 5 players just how their only focus is money instead of making their product enjoyable.
    The big 5 or 10 players genuinely make this game more fun, even owning only 1 but even more so if we could own multiple.... yet EA are happy to ensure that minimal people ever get to experience this fun from the game only in effort to keep them exclusive and in turn create a reason to spend big.

    I was lucky enough this year to pack base cruyff from base sbc and hes been a godsend and far better than any other player I've ever used. He really has made the game for me. If only they made it fairer so we could all have a couple of these cards every year... the troops would be in much better morale I feel.

    The game could be so much better with all players being within reach of everyone... and of course a whole load of fixes.

    My only gripe with icons is that there are far too many of them, I mean what baby icons are usable in this game, cruyff and Eusebio? Maybe VDS too?

    If it were up to me I’d get rid of all mid and baby icons

    I find that too many of them are poor and the pool should be slashed to just the primes.

    I’ve dropped all the icons from my team and found the game more enjoyable and plays better without them.

    They add variety to peoples teams. Alot of players would be unusable if it wasn't for Icon links.
