EA FC 24the first post-FIFA The sports mega-publisher’s soccer game isn’t out until September 23, but the team behind it is already putting out fires lit by giant grown babies.
For the first time ever, men and women will play side by side in the infamous and controversial Ultimate Team mode. And because women like Australia’s Sam Kerr – Australia’s all-time top scorer, National Women’s Soccer League all-time top scorer and the only woman to ever win the Golden Boot in three different leagues on three different continents – in the rankings Like Frenchman Kylian Mbappé (both have Ultimate Team Rank 91 based on metrics like dribbling, speed and physicality), players are upset.
Of course, Reddit is full of the reactions you’d expect from a notoriously open-minded group of people – players claim they remove women from their team because it’s unrealistic, others say women “dilute” the weight of packs, etc .
But EA has just released details of the upcoming one FC 24 last week, don’t move.
women stay in FC 24 Ultimate team
“We thought about that really hard,” said John Shepherd, EA’s vice president and executive producer told IGN. “We believe we can play a really important role in the growth of this sport by introducing it to all of our fans. We just believe that we want to unite the world around football.” IGN Then he asked Shepherd for a message FIFA Fans upset by this decision and he pointed them out to the only playable kick-off mode FC 24are versions of real teams and their respective rosters.
“Our vision is to connect not just the 150 million fans we have now, but 1 billion fans,” Shepherd said. “We want this game and this brand, this club, this ecosystem to be welcoming to everyone. In terms of our decision on how to integrate women’s football into Ultimate Team, that’s something that’s very important to us.” Associate producer Sam Rivera shared IGN
Ultimate Team has caused controversy in the past because it relies on microtransactions and loot boxes: win or buy in-game currency to buy better players, or buy packs that include a random selection of players whose content you however, you don’t know until you’ve pulled the proverbial trigger. Twitch streamers and other content creators have made a living buying and opening Ultimate Team packs live, and I can’t wait to see them open a pack and get Megan Rapinoe.
While players need to be reminded that Ultimate Team is a fantasy mode in a video game, that hasn’t stopped them from jumping back into the discussion pool and splashing around the way you toss babies into the water and snap your fingers in toddler swim Try to teach them to find the surface. Since The United States women’s national team (led by Rapinoe) began to advocate for equal pay After more women’s World Cups have been won than the men have played in their respective semi-finals, there has been a dispute over whether or not women and men have “equal rights” on the soccer field.
I personally am bored. No one complaining about the quality of women’s football could ever set foot on the field and play against players like Rapinoe, Kerr, Alex Morgan, or Marta and not immediately irrevocably embarrassed. Now shut up and buy your Ultimate Team packs like a good boy.
