EA waves off FIFA fan complaints about women in Ultimate Team: It’s not real, guys
After some FIFA fans stamped their feet and grumbled that EA was going “woke” amid reports that women would be added to EA FC 24‘s Ultimate Team, the developer has stood firm in its decision to include women in the popular game mode for the first time.
During the official reveal livestream on July 13, EA confirmed that women would be a part of the EA FC 24 Ultimate Team experience, in which male and female soccer players can play against and with each other on the pitch. And in an interview with IGN, EA producers John Shepherd and Sam Rivera defended that move, saying they want to grow the sport and “unite the world around football.”
