Tldr: The mode is meant to be a fantasy and that players should turn to EA Sports FC 24’s Kick Off mode for a more realistic experience.

It does. Play the mode where it does. It also has this mode where all players can be on the same team. How can more options be bad? Just opt to play how it is in the real world if that’s what you want.
I hate that we humans are so dumb most of the time. Just let people have choices. Why are female and male characters able to raid together in wow? Why does a female bloodelf maintank have as much HP as a male tauren? Never seen that discussion.
Comparing a game that’s a simulation of a real world sport to fantasy role playing games is so disingenuous it’s almost parody.
The point is, they’re not giving people the choice. Those that want a realistic depiction of football and like to play the ultimate team mode are just being told to lump it and play the modes EA puts less effort into. Choice would be adding women’s football or mixed football to Ultimate team as seperate modes.
Pretend that women don’t exist and that you’re seeing long-haired men, if a fake character’s sex is that important to you.
But I’m pretty sure this is one of those cases where the simulation is not the real reason at all. It’s just an ingrained prejudice against women. No one is complaining that dead characters being in there ruins the simulation.
No one’s had any issue with women’s football being in the game for several years now.
In a separate place, where you could pretend that women doesn’t exist. Now that people have to see them, fragile men start crying about realism or whatever excuse they can think of to force EA to hide women again. And that when, again, nobody cared about realism when you could have dead players in your team.
Realism is just the fake rationalization because it would be very bad to say “it’s because I hate women”. Some of the snowflakes crying about that haven’t even realized yet that they hate women.
But it’s not different (at all) from what’s happening this week, where youtube channels that are showing the women’s soccer games are receiving lots of misoginistic comments.
Are women being hidden in real football because they have to play in a seperate league? Why couldn’t we just have had a women’s ultimate team mode added?
Yes. They’re relegated to a separate league, where they earn infinitely less money, don’t have enough prestige and fame. There’s been complaints about that for years and years. Probably from before you were even born.
It’s a much easier problem to fix in a game than it is to fix in real life. But when a company tries to change it in the game, there comes the snowflakes to start crying. “I’m being forced to see a woman!”
They’re not relegated to a seperate league, they play seperately as football is a contact sport and it would be irresponsible to have mixed teams. First corner and half their players would be down with injuries when everyone went up for the header.
That’s the argument I’m making, people buy FIFA wanting to see the game they follow on the terraces each week, where players aren’t mixed. Making them mixed on this is just a cynical ploy to fill the card pool up with low stat players while hiding behind a wall of “progressivsm”.
