ICONS in offline modes

Hi EA Team,

I wanted to raise a suggestion that I believe many offline players would truly appreciate.

Right now, ICONS are only available in online modes like Ultimate Team, but it's really disappointing that we can’t use them in offline modes such as Tournament Mode or Career Mode. As someone who prefers offline play, it feels like we’re missing out on one of the most exciting parts of the game.

Why shouldn’t offline players get the same chance to enjoy legendary players? I'd love to recreate historic lineups and relive football nostalgia:

  • Roberto Carlos and R9 (Ronaldo Nazário) back in Real Madrid
  • Eric Cantona donning the red of Manchester United again
  • Alan Shearer leading the line for Newcastle

There’s so much potential for fun, replayability, and immersion when ICONS are made available across all modes, not just online. It’s frustrating that this amazing content is locked away if you’re not playing FUT.

Please consider enabling ICONS for use in offline modes. Whether it's through squad editing, default rosters, or an unlock system, it would make a huge difference to fans who enjoy offline experiences just as much as the online community.

Thanks for listening, and I hope this is something we can see changed.

    unlocked icons missing in career mode.  I had Torres, Veron and kluivert and now there missing after unlocking the heroes and icons in season pass objectives.  

    if I’m putting all this time and money into FC points to unlock icons and heroes for them to disappear from being able to play them in career mode it’s not worth it.  

    a solution would be to have the icons appear offline in an icon and heroes free agent selection.  If I go to transfer players to other teams offline before starting an offline career mode than than unlocked players from season objectives and jerseys should be available for good.  

    hoping this is just a bug and ea will patch a fix.  Having icons and heroes unlocked for career mode is awsome.  The game has a ton of potential please make them available offline once unlocked in a heroes and icons free agent transfer area within the offline settings menu
