As stated before, football teams with women are on the rise. As simple as that.
The three of you don’t respond to points made on the opposing side's argument, so why do you keep coming back? I don’t know how many times I’ve said about the game being broken, but that's not what this is about, and you can’t say others aren't asking for non-gameplay related changes. 90% of hype is about new team uniforms, mascots, or songs and literally one of the people who negatively comment on here post about wanting to change their socks.
It’s just very telling that you fight to try and exclude people rather than opening the fanbase up, so everyone can partake and enjoy. This is also very much about real life as it is about CFB26.
Change to systems that have had a hundred years of investment takes time. Asking for the option to make a woman coach was a first step and look at the pushback to such a simple request that doesn't affect you. There should be game modes for flag football, women's teams and career modes. Women play football.
This is NCAA, not Madden. NCAA is marketed as a simulation of real college football — and in reality, there are no female head coaches or coordinators at the FBS level. That’s not exclusion, that’s authenticity.
You keep saying ‘points are being made on the other side,’ but let’s be honest — the only ‘other side’ here is you, BUMPING this same thread. Outside of that, there’s no groundswell of players demanding this. Meanwhile, the overwhelming majority are focused on stability, smarter AI, meaningful recruiting, and core football mechanics that actually work.
And here’s where your ethics come into question: you’re framing the absence of a fantasy option as exclusion when what you’re really doing is hijacking a discussion about fixing a broken game to push a symbolic cause that doesn’t even reflect the sport. That’s not advocacy, it’s misrepresentation.
Unfortunately, as of late, the very small but highly vocal crowd often gets its way by crying ‘exclusion’ and throwing tantrums. The problem is that in this case, the so-called exclusion is reality itself — not some delusional off-your-meds fantasy.
And let’s not forget — Madden is supposedly marketed as simulation too, but it’s devolved into arcade football. With your logic, you don’t really want simulation football — you want arcade fantasy football. Cool, but in that case? Go play Madden.
The rest of us want NCAA to stay authentic — and at the very least, to be stable and worth the price tag.
