Representatives of EA Sports respond to criticism of the company’s decision to include both male and female players in FC 24’s Ultimate Team mode.

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.

    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.
