EA FC 24 - First 8 ICONs Revealed
Today, EA Sports revealed the first 24 ICON cards that are coming to EA FC 24 at launch. As EA FC 24 will be the first game to include Women in Ultimate Team, this means that four of the eight ICONs coming at launch will be Women.
What are ICONs?
ICON cards are legends of the football game. The best players from around the world who have now retired come back into the game with ratings as they were in their prime. Previously, we have seen some of the best players of all time, such as Diego Maradona, Wayne Rooney and many more.
