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.
Jesus Christ… the incel/neckbeards have no shame. It’s a fucking game you twats.
It’s a game. In the UT mode you can use players in your team that have long been retired or dead. You have cards that make up crazy what ifs scenarios, like what if Ronaldo was a center back or Messi a right back (don’t know if those cards actually exist but you get the point). You can make crazy teams that are completely unrealistic. Now they are expanding that with women.
I don’t see the issue personally. I just played it for fun and to make crazy teams. My front line right now is Leao, Raúl and Mahrez. Wouldn’t mind changing Mahrez for Beath Mead just for fun. 🙂
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.
i believe it’s part of their contract with mattel toys to not show intergender violence, but the upcoming AEW game has mixed gender matches!
EA response: “Toughen the fuck up you whiny little pricks”.
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.
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.
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?
In fact, the article very much states as much explicitly:
The publisher responded to arguments that it was unrealistic by explaining that Ultimate Team 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.
Be it Reddit or be it the Fediverse, people are too busy with their opinion on the title to read the article behind it.
I get the complaints, it’s at best lip service to women’s sports. It’s trivial to remove women if it becomes a problem. This was a lazy way to add women, they could have added a second mandatory team, but that would require work.
