EA Sports is breaking new ground in its FIFA game series by adding women to the Ultimate Team game mode for the first time. The upcoming title, FC 24, will allow players to create hybrid squads, with both men and women competing on the same pitch. This move aims to unite men’s and women’s football in the game and provide players with more diverse team-building options.
While the addition of women in Ultimate Team has been welcomed by many, some players have expressed concerns about the realism of co-ed teams. However, EA has clarified that Ultimate Team is a fantasy mode, and the inclusion of women is in line with the game’s overall concept of creating unique and imaginative teams.
To ensure a positive gaming experience, EA is committed to policing inappropriate behavior stringently and has a dedicated team focused on monitoring and addressing toxicity in the game.
In terms of gameplay, EA has considered squad chemistry to ensure realism and balance. Players will still link with others from the same leagues and nations, and team members can also be linked through their clubs. Additionally, player ratings will be relative to real-world performance on the pitch, ensuring a fair and competitive environment.
