Worst FIFA ever

I agree that having women players included in the game is a huge drawback and overall a negative for the experience. Why? Well its not as sexist as you may think. The reasons are:

1. In a given FIFA (or whatever we're call this these days) there are really only a limited number of players the majority of players want to use. i.e. nobody is seriously going to keep a gold common in their team for a second longer than they need to. Ideally, everyone wants to pack great players from their favourite clubs and leagues.

2. Packing the players you want is already difficult because of pack weights/player weights

3. Adding women players to packs just hugely expands the total number of cards available in the game, and I suspect is going to make getting the players you want even harder to do.

4. I dont know about everyone else but I have never watched a female club game from any league ever. I was completely unaware that some of these clubs even have female teams. There are a couple of good female cards out there and I have 2 on my team as fillers until I get the players I actually want. 

So like so many things this FIFA, the question is, who asked for this? Not the playerbase at large, thats for sure. It feels like a 'social' thing that EA has positioned, which is just yet another clever ploy for them to sell more packs in order for you to find the players you actually want, because they are now even more rare. 

I love FIFA, but damn, I am struggling to find the will to keep playing this. I would like to enjoy it like I did the FIFA's of old, but it feels like such a grind. I really hope that some other developer can pick up the licenses and do better because this is garbage. Alternatively, EA needs to make this game free-to-play and just refresh cards annually. It's probably the single biggest con in gaming that every year we're essentially paying for the same game, just to get an experience that was even worse than the prior years. This has been a trend for at least 2-3 years now.
