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.
Jesus Christ… the incel/neckbeards have no shame. It’s a fucking game you twats.

You started out asking whether it’s a game or simulation, then ended up talking about card pulls. Clearly it’s a game then right?
It’s a game. In the UT mode you can use players in your team that have long been retired or dead. You have cards that make up crazy what ifs scenarios, like what if Ronaldo was a center back or Messi a right back (don’t know if those cards actually exist but you get the point). You can make crazy teams that are completely unrealistic. Now they are expanding that with women.
I don’t see the issue personally. I just played it for fun and to make crazy teams. My front line right now is Leao, Raúl and Mahrez. Wouldn’t mind changing Mahrez for Beath Mead just for fun. 🙂

In that same vein, I want to know why I can’t have male v female fights in the WWE games. My sister only makes female characters, and I usually make guys. We can’t pit our characters together and it’s dumb.
i believe it’s part of their contract with mattel toys to not show intergender violence, but the upcoming AEW game has mixed gender matches!
Aew fight forever has already been released. It is not very good though
ah i had no clue, 60-70% reviews is sadly pretty average for a wrestling game, i hope they patch out the bugs!

EA response: “Toughen the fuck up you whiny little pricks”.
The correct response.
There’s an alternate universe where this article was never written because people there didn’t lose their minds over whether their video game pixels had a penis or vulva concealed by their clothes.

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.

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.

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.

Sure, I wasn’t aware that the addition of the Ultimate Team mode removed the ability to play in a way more closely resembling the real-world sport though. Care to point out where they’ve stated that those other modes will no longer be available?
In fact, the article very much states as much explicitly:
The publisher responded to arguments that it was unrealistic by explaining that Ultimate Team 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.
Be it Reddit or be it the Fediverse, people are too busy with their opinion on the title to read the article behind it.

I understand that’s not your point but don’t see why it’s worth the sort of frothing-at-the-mouth anger it provokes from the internet peanut gallery. Maybe that doesn’t describe you though. I can’t argue with your inner cynic’s search for ulterior motives, corporate tools will do corporate tool things. If you disagree with their decisions, don’t give them your money.

Why would it need ITS OWN game?! I promise you made a half naked girl when you tried lost Ark and didn’t bitch back then.

Just imagine its Diego Forlan playing and you’ll be alright.
Well, it does. In the non-fantasy mode.

I get the complaints, it’s at best lip service to women’s sports. It’s trivial to remove women if it becomes a problem. This was a lazy way to add women, they could have added a second mandatory team, but that would require work.
Hard to imagine someone having such a bleak, pathetic life that they can muster any kind of a shit about a game mode where men, and women play together.
Yet, here we are. Now that EA has put their head over the parapet with this game, maybe we can have a fantasy league in the next UFC, and all these incels will have a virtual outlet for their sad viewpoints?

As someone who actually plays this mode regularly, I don’t know how to feel about this.
Why would you feel in any way about that?
Now that I think about it, I think I lean towards be in favor of it
