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.
I think for a lot of football fans, it feels like there's a lot of pressure to force women's football to be popular rather than letting it grow naturally in the current climate. That's probably what gets peoples backs up as this feels like another forced attempt to make people get into it, rather than just waiting until woman's football is big enough to support its own game/UT mode.
I'm personally glad for women that their version of the sport is taking off, and that for girls that want to play football they have the option rather than being told it's a "boys game" as I believe everyone should have the same opportunity.
I think there may be a cultural mismatch too. I know that women's football is a lot more popular in the US where the mens game never took off. Whereas in Europe, South America, Africa, etc it's still gaining ground. I believe the FIFA Devs are in Canada so they're probably looking at a different situation to a lot of the fans around the world.
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.
I don't think it needs its own game really, although that doesn't stop EA doing college football games in the US despite it being the same sport. I do think it should be it's own mode to maintain an illusion of simulation of the real sport for the Ultimate Team players.
I don't know what Ark has to do with anything, I played about five minute of thay game all in all and gave up.
