Women were a great addition to FC, I just wish it was more balanced

Many were skeptical when women were added to FC, but now I think it was a great addition. I even got more interest in women's football because I wanted to watch some players I played with ingame.

The one issue I have with it is how overpowered they are. And  I don't mean "they should be 60 rated because men are better". I mean that if a man is 6'2 with 85 jumping, he should take the better in the air against a 5'1 women with 60 jumping if he's in a decent position compared to her. I mean that a 6'1 player with 83 strength shouldn't just bounce back when he bumps into a 5'2 women with 62 strength.
I remember people used to never put a women GK because they are so small. Now 9 out of 10 Squad Battle game I play has a woman in the net. And they are consistently amazing, even the silver ones, and the size doesn't matter one bit. I actually don't remember playing a man GK in the last 12-15 games.

I don't think it's right to unbalance the game just to push for women's football. I don't think it serve them right in the end anyway. I think balancing it all would benefit to everybody.

(I also wish the packing would be more balanced, as 80% of my packs have a woman as highest rated card. And since most SBCs are women as well, all the highest rated cards in my club are women)

  • Very well said. I'd love to hear the rationale behind the decision to implement this in the game.

  • Could not agree more, this is 2025 and woke is dying. Do separate leagues and I’ll play them both, but having mixed teams ruins the immersion for me. I think they make them too op or else nobody would play them. Leave your politics at the door. Apart from all the gameplay issues this is one thing on top that makes me wanna quit the game. I hope the owners of EA pick-up that  politics is going right wing and conservative and don’t push rainbow bands and mixing female and male sports. This should be a fun game without politics that have already destroyed so many franchises

    It just needs to be balanced, not different leagues. That would be boring.

  • No feedback from anybody "of importance", because no such person comes here.

    We're just p!ssing in the wind on that board. Nobody cares. EA made this board just to make people believe they can act and be heard. But what we post here, we could post it on Reddit or 4Chan, it would be the exact same. Except much more than 6 people would see it.

    If it was balanced, they wouldn't be better than men.

    And you won't pack the players you want anyway. What, you think you're going to get Haaland and Mbappe juste because they take off a few hundred women?! Lol you'll just get more Aspas and Mancini

  • It's actually disgusting, I'm here for women's football but it feels like they're forcing it on us. For example the most recent promo was "community requested" players, I cannot remember the last time anyone asked for 7/8 random girls in an American league nobody knows about
