That's probably true. I think one of the other surveys said that something like 80% of female gamers use the Wii as their main platform, so it is indeed difficult to know how significant their presence is on PS4/XBox One, etc.

Would your wife and daughter be proud of your comments?

Maybe I'm wrong and FIFA 16 will be a huge hit with the girls at the nail salon(I kid, I couldn't resist).

There is a way you view yourself, and then there is a way you act.

THAT'S the problem.

It's not problem if one person is ignorant. Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with what orion typed, but I don't think he meant it. It's hard to convey tone on this forum, or on any forum.


EA was bound to know that adding women's soccer into the game was going to cause a stir up, but it's going to happen and it's not a big deal unless there were a hundred more hard core misogynistic views.

I'm not sure I read anything that would not make his wife/daughter proud? He didn't degrade, belittle, etc. women. He simply stated that HE didn't think that it was the best use of resources. This, by the way, is a message board. A free one at that, in which we are all allowed to voice our OPINIONS.

The only reason this steps on anyone's toes is because it's gender related.

Let me offer an example that's not gender related...

Madden's game-play needs some work, and things for years have needed fixing/upgrading. But this year, the big ticket item is that they've added some Canadian League teams (only a few--by the way) for us to be able to use in exhibition mode only, so as to try to snag some more of the Canadian market.

So, we haven't fixed any of the issues that have been issues for years, but we've got some new fans of the series. While it would be 'neat' to play with those teams, you can't use them in any actual meaningful game modes, so it's really sort of pointless. Especially considering the meat and potatoes of the game is now getting less time and attention--whether that be a small, or large amount.

I've read a comment in the Youtube comments that, if you take a look at the ball during Sinclair's free kick you can see a white line in front of the ball which would confirm that the magic spray will be on FIFA 16. Nice detail which it was easy to miss during the trailer

What don't you people get here. Do the words I KID have no meaning to you? Again nothing, absolutely nothing that I said is related in any way whatsoever to women, my view of them, their role in society, or their place when it comes to sports and video games. Did I make that clear enough yet? Or shall I continue? Jiminy Christmas.

Yes, I absolutely would spend a lot of time playing women's soccer.
