With all the new customisation features and over 1,700 head models added for the audience, it is a statement not to add the option for the coach creator.
It doesn't need to be a highlighted or pushed as a major feature, because it isn't. It's a baseline for equality.
You are not discussing anything in your last comment; you're only trying to put another down. There are many people who disagree with your singular concern about the game — one that is far from valid.
If you'd have read through the post, there's no issue raised with the likeness of real people included...
You specified players on a football scholarship because you are aware of women that have played. With this, why aren't there any women kickers generated for new recruits?
It's important to address here that this is a video game where in you can make the coach that you want. More than 99% of players will not be real coaches. If you're arguing for realism, why should there be an option to make a customised coach at all?
There are more women getting into the industry and the backlash on this post outlines why it is taking as long as it is.
In the tens of thousands of humans who have played D1 football over the past 20 years, three have been women. All were kickers. All were soccer players who filled in for an injury on the football team. None were on scholarship. None were recruited.
So why doesn't the game let you recruit women placekickers? Because it's never happened. To recruit in this game means to offer a scholarship. A woman has never received a scholarship offer from a D1 football team.
This IS a video game. And you're blaming them for being too accurate.
And no, you can't "make the coach that you want". If I wanted a blind, double amputee, quadriplegic coach... I seriously doubt you would argue that EA should make that possible.
As to whether that hypothetical coach (who at least could have conceivably played varsity football—beyond placekicker) would be more likely to become a HC than a woman, I'll leave that up to the readers.
You seem very angry about a concern that you express to be "invalid"
Your off-handed comment about making a coach with physical disabilities is concerning. You only hurt those effected by it. We need to stand up for human rights of minority groups as well.
Why is it so important to you to perpetuate inequalities?
I'm not angry. I'm not even angry you suggested I was angry.
I find this quite funny, and your weak arguments put a smile on my face.
We've firmly established that no woman has met the criteria to be included in EA College Football 26 as an NIL character.
Yet you seem to think EA should modify its builder specifically so you can "make the coach that you want".
I'm still not sure whether you think people with physical disabilities should be represented. And I fail to see how that isn't a valid comparison to your contention.
Just out of curiosity, should players be able to make their coach look 13 years old? If not, why not?
Of course. Saying the word angry three times shows that.
You are bringing up many other issues, yet you're not bringing up any points against the feedback being given to the Development Team.
We should have representation in a customisable coach creator where you can build your own coach in a game. Where you can make yourself or others and put them in the role of a coach, as video games allow.
Also, no. A 13 year old coach would not be allowed to have a full-time job, as child labor laws restrict the full time hours that are needed for the role. But, a 13 year old should be able to make an adult depiction of what they want their coach to look like.
Will you answer my questions? In addition to the one above, how does having women coaches in the dynasty mode affect you?
There's been quite a bit of ongoing discussion, it would be helpful for the Mods to shed some light on this.
because women suck at football and have zero ability or authority to teach any player anything. Are you insane? Women don't know anything about football whatsoever
🤦♂️
