A lot of game players had waited all year for FIFA 23 to be released, just to play with their favorite players, such as Maradona. But now that FIFA 23 is finally here, it has been confirmed EA took away some players in the game due to legal and assault allegations on the footballers in real life.

EA Sports have not only dropped a couple of big names but also standard players in their latest installment of FIFA game, FIFA 23. The removed players have remained omitted even when fans feel disappointed. Let’s take a look at all the players who are not in FIFA 23. (rewrite last).

As a result of disagreements with Maradona’s agent and family, EA lost Maradona’s license in early 2022. In the meantime, you can still secretly find and use him as an icon in FIFA 23 because EA created him as an icon under an odd English name. FIFA 23 identifies Maradona as an icon under the English name called Dickson.

Meanwhile, by late 2022, players such as Sergio Aguero and Mark Noble may be featured as icons in FIFA 23. There are hopes EA Sports takes fans’ complaints seriously and does something to include the removed players in the next update.
