Suggestion regarding new WSL structure

While EA strives for authenticity, there is a major piece missing. That being the addition of the WSL2. The new structure creates demand for adding the WSL2 to FC, as the top 2 WSL2 teams battle the bottom 2 WSL teams for a spot in the WSL. Not to mention all the mens teams are in one premier league, yet half of their Women’s affiliates are nonexistent. This leaves countless fans without their team in gameplay. Youve added the PWHL to NHL games, 2k has begun focus on WNBA in recent years. Authenticity in Womens sports in video games is at an all time high. It is very frustrating to see that a league that now has even more involvement with the “top tier” barclays league, repeatedly gets snubbed in games, leaving their fans with only the option to jump to Football Manager, which lacks the realistic gameplay weve grown to expect. While obviously theyll be snubbed yet again in 27, there needs to be inclusion in the future, to maintain the authenticity that EA preaches because, as previously stated, they now have direct involvement with the WSL. It is this sole reason that keeps myself and others from paying full price for a copy and paste game, when 14 teams and the competitive structure surrounding them and the 14 “top tier” teams are missing.

    It’s great to see someone talking about women's teams here. I play the WSL a lot too, and I’ve made suggestions regarding the FA Cup and League Cup, which aren't in the game. There’s also the issue of regens and pregens, as well as continental tournaments in Europe and North America that are missing from the game.

    I’d also love to see the WSL2 in the game, along with Liga MX Femenil, the UEFA Women's Europa Cup, and the CONCACAF W Champions Cup.

    I hope they improve this in the near future!
