"maintain the status quo" is a stupid ****ing reason to not have women in the game (and not to do anything ever), sorry. the nhl series had women and the option to create a female pro in it. the tiger woods series has women and a women's tournament in it. women's hockey and golf are definitely less popular than women's soccer so popularity and "well would it increase sales?" are dumb points made irrelevant by the fact that ea has already done this before in different sports series.

I'm very PC when it comes to supporting women's rights etc. but this is the correct perspective here, absolutely.

Why bother implementing women when you could just throw in the worst of the men? No sense made by trying to be inclusive for the sake of being inclusive....

If they want to, sure, but I'd rather they concentrate on actually improving the game before putting women's football in, seeing as I wouldn't play it.

I would suggest actually watching a match before implying that it's not as exciting.

As for the question at hand, if EA comes out with a FIFA WC Edition for 2014, that would be the perfect time to unleash this. Having the option to play the Mens or Womens WC would be awesome.

Would it increase sales is the whole point. It is called capitalism not boo flipping hoo, women need to be in the game because we are all sissy hipsters these days. The game would not sell by itself and as a feature I tend to think a very small populace would really care past the initial curiosity. EA would make it unrealistic by having them play the same way men play.

lol oh no you called me a hipster ;_;

my whole point was that nhl and tiger woods introduced professional women athletes and tournaments recently and womens soccer is demonstrably "more popular" than womens hockey and golf. somehow the world survived the women in the nhl series being playable in the career mode (with men omg!!!) and the idea of a woman golfer winning the masters in tiger woods. they don't even have mls right in fifa 13; i doubt anyone is clamoring for professional leagues right off the bat, just an international team or two. this is not some unprecedented, deep dark territory for ea. they literally introduced and implemented the concept in two other franchises already.

besides, if ea only cared about ~maximum profits~ in this capitalistic paradise you've crafted in your head they wouldn't actually even bother with the manpower and costs of improving the game even slightly year to year and fifa 08 would be indistinguishable from fifa 13.

Not really, since it's not the same thing at all. WNBA is its own league with its own union. Making an NBA game doesn't mean the WNBA should be included. Women's soccer, on the other hand, is overseen by FIFA, and its professional players are members of FIFPro. Same as the men.

I'm not saying women need to be included, since as with all leagues it depends on whether or not it would be worth the resources spent to do it, but equating it with NBA/WNBA is daft.
