Sad, but true. Look at the comments on YouTube, completely ridiculous.

I personally think this is a really smart addition. Almost reminds me of the female Commander Shepard option in Mass Effect (except nowhere as robust in terms of customization). It'll be interesting to see more female players in the series from here on in...would love to see the Canadian national women's hockey team, who could probably hold their own with any male squad out there.

I don't want to get into any further debate over this, but female gamers comprise around 40% of the overall gaming population (don't quote me on that number, though...going by memory). These are normal, everyday girls and women, not anything "strange" about them. I'm in a relationship with a girl gamer right now and she loves this news, pigtails and all.

It's neat that girls will be able to play as a girl now, and it's baffling that anybody on Earth would be upset by this. Like others said, as long as there aren't any draftable women or something that would detract from the realism, it's not an issue at all. Sure, people online will probably fool around with this feature, but it's not like there aren't any ridiculous CAPs out there already. I wish more sports games would give female gamers this opportunity.

Manone Rheume played for the TB Lightning, I believe. It's really not far fetched.

Wow this is finally in a sports game? Whats with all you people saying this is a waste of time...

I think it's a good addition. I won't use it, but others sure will. Seems like a PC move by EA.

I can see it now...

"This just in,Sidney Crosby's career has come to an end after suffering yet another concussion at the hands of the NHL's first female player."

There's something to aim for.

2k should do this.
