Davids 1998 default without glasses (For Juventus 98-99 e WC 1998) I've try to use Gomis hairs but i don't like
Nice work man, a clear improvement over his EA custom
I noticed a small thing, the current banners visible in the background that are used by Netherlands 1998-2016 have that 'Aqui vamos - Samen naar Brazilië' banner present on them from the WC2014 game, which simply wouldn't make sense for most of those teams. It would be better to replace that bit for those teams to something less specific and to keep the current version only for Netherlands 2014. Something like a Dutch lion or Johan Cruyff might be a good replacement for it:

Do you mean every team and tournament currently in the patch or new teams as well? It would be awesome to see more teams, like Lokomotiv Moscow 2003-04 when they qualified from a Champions League group with Arsenal, Inter Milano and Dinamo Kiev, and only lost to the future finalist Monaco on away goals in playoffs.
Speaking of 2000s Russian teams, I've noticed a couple of missed details with the logos:
CSKA 2009-10
The logo should be this (2008 - now)
Spartak Moscow 2005-10
The logo should be this (2003-2013)
I see. Well it's actually not that many stadiums that are missing, only a few, so it wouldn't be that heavy or take too many IDs I believe. And while old San Mames or Maracana are not yet developed, those ones are ready to be used.
Yeah it's a common thing with banners in terms of classic teams, can imagine it's very hard to track which banners would be relevant in which year, and most of them were made for fifa 14/16, not with classic patch in mind. One of the examples I often saw was Chelsea banners with "Torres El Nino" and "Jose, come home" in 2003 when none of them were at the clubNice work man, a clear improvement over his EA custom

So I guess all we can do is tweak them step by step and make them more 'generic'.
Here is my edit for the Netherlands banner by Geissbock to fit more years, also works well with stadiums that use country flags:

We'll be getting 10 new Icons for FIFA 21 to convert!
Davor Suker unfortunately doesn't use have a preview of the face, but it's likely just his older FUT Legends face. That just leaves these guys plus Juan Román Riquelme who got added in a FIFA 20 title update.
WOW!!!! PUSKAAAAAS!!!!!! YEEEEES!!!!!! The others are very sure that we are identical to the fifa 14-15 versions. The only one worth mentioning is Eto'o and Cantona and maybe Vidic. Others also leave a bad taste in my mouth
EA has been recycling models from past years.

Finally Puskas!
For the other Icon I guess they work really hard at EA (recycling faces of previous Fifa)

Maybe Djorkaeff, Mazzola, Klinsmann, Berti, Bergomi, Zenga, Pagliuca or my dream Suarez, Picchi and Corso

Samuel Eto'o, Ashley Cole, Nemanja Vidic, Eric Cantona, Petr Cech and Fernando Torres all seem to have recieved a updated face when comparing them to their older EA counterparts (new hairs/helmet, new face texture).
Only Philipp Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger and possibly Xavi seem to use their older faces, which were good scans in my opinion (Although Schweini's hair looks darker in the screenshots?).

Will you add Davids with no glass for mentioned teams? How to remove glasses? Do I need to replace somehow File 1 in hair_textures.rx3 file? Not sure.

No, "removed" with blender. All glasses vertex are compressed in one vertex and hidden into the hairs.

Ok I see. Will you add this version or any chance you can share? I would be happy to have no glass Davids for 1998, but didn't know, if it's possible to remove them.

Funny thing is, there will be kids who never played fifa 11-12 and they'll think those Icons are new and cool.
Still waiting for a Beckham icon/legend face.

Other than Puskas...nothing to be excited about. If they have Inter license ideally faces for Altobelli, Bergomi, Baresi, Orialli, Pagliuca, Marini, Jair, Mazzola, Ferri, Serena, Bordon, Bianchi Prohaska should be made but knowing EA, those pansies will bring in recycled faces for Julio Cesar, Milito, Maicon, Samuel, Materazzi, Sneijder, Zanetti, Eto'o, and Lucio from FIFA 10.

Remember your first classic patch for FIFA 06. That was a work of art. In fact you had released some smaller patches for even FIFA 05. For me it was a dream come true to play with players from from 60s, 70s, and 80s.

The first classic patch was for fifa 07. I've try to make one for fifa 06 but without experience and I crash the database making it unrecoverable (stupid me who did not backup!). The very first classic files were faces for fifa 2005. Badly made. But I never released them.

FIFA 07 patch, I remember very well. Requires a lot of passion and hard work to release patches like this consistently. You have made the lives of many fans of retro football better through your work!
