Issue: Incorrect Icon body type / player model – Roberto Baggio

Issue: Incorrect Icon body type / player model – Roberto Baggio

 

Roberto Baggio’s Icon player model appears to be using an incorrect, overly stocky body type. This does not match his documented physique during his playing career, where he consistently had a lean/slim build.

 

This discrepancy is clearly visible in game and contrasts with archived match footage and career-era photos. I have attached in-game screenshots alongside real-life reference images for comparison.

 

Notably, Baggio’s body type appears correct in older FIFA titles prior to FIFA 22. From FIFA 22 onwards (new-gen versions), the model changes to a noticeably bulkier build, while the old-gen version at the time remained slim. This timing aligns with the introduction of HyperMotion.

 

All previous Icon versions of Baggio (Base, Mid, Prime) historically used a slim body type, which suggests this is an unintended change rather than a deliberate design decision.

 

Please let me know if any additional information or reference material is required. I’m happy to provide further archival footage or images if needed.

    Yeah defo - Seen a lot of people on Futbin and Reddit mention it too 

  • Would love to play with him, but every time I do I can’t help but notice how clunky he is in game. Something definitely feels off with his model

  • Hey​EA_Darko​ hope you’re well - I’ve just updated this with some photos of other people mentioning they have noticed this issue online - As you can see there’s 10+ and there has been a decent response to this post.

    i know that you probably can’t tell me whether or not this will be fixed in the next title update but could you at least confirm that you have seen it please? 

    If the team doesn’t intend to fix it that’s your choice but would be good to know that they have received the feedback.

    Would really appreciate a response on this even if it’s just a “seen it” Thanks in advance.

    HiEA_Pulsar​  there is also a glitch affecting the Time Warp Baggio Card and the Silver Stars one (But not the Base Card) where his left stick dribbling is bugged similar to Linda Caicedo - do I need to raise a separate bug report for that?
