Tldr: The mode is meant to be a fantasy and that players should turn to EA Sports FC 24’s Kick Off mode for a more realistic experience.
In that same vein, I want to know why I can’t have male v female fights in the WWE games. My sister only makes female characters, and I usually make guys. We can’t pit our characters together and it’s dumb.
Jesus Christ… the incel/neckbeards have no shame. It’s a fucking game you twats.
I have no skin in the game with FIFA, I enjoy watching a good game of football but haven’t played a game in years. That said, is it a game or a simulation? People play FIFA as they want to feel like the part of the sport they watch from the terraces/on TV every Saturday, and in that Sport, there’s no mixed league.
The cynic in me says that this is just a way for EA to pad out the card pool with loads more low stat “trash” players from the woman’s game forcing people to grind/pay more to seek a good pull.
You started out asking whether it’s a game or simulation, then ended up talking about card pulls. Clearly it’s a game then right?
There’s an alternate universe where this article was never written because people there didn’t lose their minds over whether their video game pixels had a penis or vulva concealed by their clothes.
Should a sports simulation game not seek to emulate the sport as it’s played in real life?
It does. Play the mode where it does. It also has this mode where all players can be on the same team. How can more options be bad? Just opt to play how it is in the real world if that’s what you want.
I hate that we humans are so dumb most of the time. Just let people have choices. Why are female and male characters able to raid together in wow? Why does a female bloodelf maintank have as much HP as a male tauren? Never seen that discussion.
Comparing a game that’s a simulation of a real world sport to fantasy role playing games is so disingenuous it’s almost parody.
The point is, they’re not giving people the choice. Those that want a realistic depiction of football and like to play the ultimate team mode are just being told to lump it and play the modes EA puts less effort into. Choice would be adding women’s football or mixed football to Ultimate team as seperate modes.
Pretend that women don’t exist and that you’re seeing long-haired men, if a fake character’s sex is that important to you.
But I’m pretty sure this is one of those cases where the simulation is not the real reason at all. It’s just an ingrained prejudice against women. No one is complaining that dead characters being in there ruins the simulation.
No one’s had any issue with women’s football being in the game for several years now.
Sure, I wasn’t aware that the addition of the Ultimate Team mode removed the ability to play in a way more closely resembling the real-world sport though. Care to point out where they’ve stated that those other modes will no longer be available?
