Fifa 22 Career Icons  is a mod for  FIFA 22, created by Greyspectre

Description (In author’s own words):

A mod that introduces FUT Icons and Heroes to career mode, edited existing players and some created players.

Hi! Welcome to my Squad Mod!

I love Fifa but hate playing FUT and I find the career mode and player database frankly boring to play with. There is very little depth in some positions and it only takes 2 or 3 seasons before you have to rely on completely made up players. So, I wanted to improve on this and here is what this squad file includes:

- Added FUT Icon players and FUT Hero players to career mode, they have all been edited and their ratings reduced (their potentials remain very high however), to make the game more enjoyable and not have several 99ovr players running about in the first season. In some cases there may be players such as Beckham and Ronaldo, where their starting ratings are quite low, this is because I like to see player growth progress over multiple seasons but their ages have been set to very young. Players ages will differ purely to allow for different price tags for players for you to purchase.

- Edited dozens of existing players, mostly players that are nearing retirement such as Aguero, Iniesta, Jordi Alba, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. I have also focused on players who aren't world renowned such as Joe Allen, Ashley Young, Gael Clichy etc. Similarly to the Icon Players, some of their ratings might be quite low but it is for the same reason as explained above. In addition, I have gone through a large amount of other players and just tweaked their stats/age/positions here and there, mostly in relation to pace, potential and stamina, such players include those who have absurdly low stamina levels, pace, or could have been great but never quite got to that level such as Mario Gotze and Dele Alli.

- I have also created a handful of players and hope to add more this way. Please note however, these players have been made with the in-game fifa player creator and I have tried my very best to make them look at least a teeny tiny bit like their real counterparts but in most cases they don't. Seaman especially sucks but blame his damn Moustache! But it is cool to just see and have them on a team sheet. You can easily delete these players if you so wish by going to 'Customise - Delete Created Player' in game.

Created players include:

Rafael Van der Vaart, Wes Sneijder, Giovanni Van Bronckhorst, Xabi Alonso, Ivan Helguera, Michel Salgado, Guti, Dida, Serginho, Adriano, Javier Mascherano, David Seaman, Andy Cole, Patrice Evra, Sami Hyypia, Harry Kewell, Dietmar Hamann, Vladimir Smicer, John Arne Riise, Gary Neville, Eidur Gudjohnsen, Jaap Stam, Shay Given, Kieron Dyer, Craig Bellamy, Emile Heskey, Francesco Totti, Adriano, Andy Cole, Teddy Sheringham, John Terry, Lucio, Victor Valdez, Paul Gascoigne, Dimitar Berbatov, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Fabian Barthez, Lillian Thuram, Dwight Yorke, Dani Alves, Arjen Robben, Ledley King, Kolo Toure, Yaya Toure, John O'Shea, Michael Carrick, Park Ji Sung, Carlos Tevez, Peter Crouch, Edgar Davids, Lauren.

For the most part, I have added FUT Icons and Heroes to the teams they are most related to in terms of playing time in their career or most goals scored there. However, there are exceptions where if there are too many world class players vying for the same position I have moved them elsewhere to fill up other team spaces where they could benefit from such a talented player. In most cases I looked to their second or third most played club in their career but not always. I I have tried to make sure you can find the majority of the players where you would expect them to be, once you download the squad file it is yours to mess about with an move players wherever you wish!!

Some things to be aware of:

Career Mode AI

I can't control how the AI in the game works, and unfortunately the game is not very good at rotating squads, for some reason Liverpool seem to be particularly bad for this, therefore as the current squad file dumps players where they spent most of their career, it means there will be players that will never play. For example, Liverpool currently have Owen, Torres, Firmino and Rush at ST but only Torres and maybe sometimes Owen will ever play. There are now so many new additions to the squads, I recommend moving players around to different clubs if you want to see them playing against you but you don't have to! Once I have added all the created players I want, I will create an optional squad file that fairly separates players across multiple teams so top players actually get play time, but this will mean you will get players based at teams they've never played at.

Transfers

In the first season, you will find that most Icons and Heroes and some players cannot be bought as they have just moved to the club they are currently at, but will be available in the second season or can be bought by paying their buyout fee. Other clubs will purchase Icons and created as well which can be interesting to see when Kaka is playing for Man City.

Installation

Download and extract Zip file to yourPC/Documents/Fifa22/Settings. If it does not appear then restart the game.

I hope you enjoy, I did this just to have some fun and enjoy some classic players who aren't around anymore without having to waste hard earned money on stupid FUT nonsense!
