Women have arrived to stay in EA Sports FC 24

Football is changing as a sport with women reclaiming their rightful place and video games are reflecting that change. Aiming to offer the best simulation EA Sports FC 24 also has to represent a change that the developers already started to implement in FIFA 23, with a limited number of women's football leagues. That number will be almost doubled in EA Sports FC 24 with the addition of the Google Pixel Frauen-Bundesliga and Liga F, but the biggest change regarding this matter that the new football series brings is the addition of women to Ultimate Team, which finally puts them at the same level as male players.

It's not about realism

EA Sports intends to make an example of it by leaving toxicity out of the experience and allowing all players to experience a game without barriers. In an interview with IGN, EA's executive producer John Shepperd delved into the reasons behind this change.

“We feel we can play a really important role in the growth of that sport in introducing it to all of our fans. We just have this conviction that we believe we want to unite the world around football. Ultimate Team is a great place for that. It is a mode where you can build your fantasy team with different nationalities, different leagues, and different clubs. And so it felt like a great spot to be able to do that.”

EA Sports FC 24 is just a video game, but it undeniably has a big influence on players all over the world. It does not matter if bringing male and female players together on the same team is realistic or not. Ultimate Team is unrealistic by itself as it allows you to create a team of players that will probably never play together on the same team. The essence of that mode is allowing you to create your dream team, and there is definitely room enough for male and female players in it if you desire so.

Nobody forces you to choose female players for your Ultimate Team lineup in EA Sports FC 24, but the option is there for those who would love to do it and EA has stated that it will make an effort to control the environment of the game to stop any toxic, racist, or sexist behaviors that may happen.

The release of the game is scheduled for September 29 and we will know many more details about its features ahead of that date. Remember that the best prices to get your EA Sports FC 24 code for any platform is already available with our comparator.
