In mid-July we shared the official reveal of the successor soccer game to the series FIFA. Among the most interesting details about FC 24 There is the presence of women in the popular but controversial Ultimate Team mode and although some of us celebrate the presence of women’s soccer players, others strongly criticized it and EA has an answer for them.
What apparently upset some ‘gamers’ who expressed their opinions on Reddit, social networks and YouTube comments is that “it is not realistic that women are on an equal footing with men in soccer.” If a male and female player have the same rating, they will be virtually equal when playing as them. For example, both the Chelsea player Sam Kerr and the renowned Kylian Mbappé have a 91.
In a chat with IGNJohn Shepherd, vice president and executive producer at EA, explained that combining men and women in the Ultimate Team mode of FC 24 it’s something they thought about carefully. Reminds players that Ultimate Team was always intended to be a “fantasy mode” where they could put players on the same team who could never play on the same team.. They also say that those who want a more realistic way can resort to the ‘Kick-off’, in which the line-ups of the teams are respected.
Why is Ultimate Team mode so controversial?
We appreciate the welcome to women’s soccer in the Ultimate Team mode of FC 24. But we hope that this does not distract from the just criticisms that are made against this modality. The monetization system to get players is basically a ‘gacha’. Many people have complained about the enormous amount of money that must be invested to get a truly competitive team. There have also been countless cases of boys and girls who end up emptying their parents’ bank accounts looking to get their favorite players.
