I love womens football. My wife was a professional player, so I watched a lot of it.
And of course watched tons of mens of football as well.
There is no comparison between the 2. Not even in the highest levels of womens football and thats because of physics/nature (call it what you will).
I ve watched many mixed gender friendly games of professional teams (mainly for charity and/or promotion) and there is no way to compare the physicallity of men to that of women. Central defenders devour them, even if they are the smallest and fastest women attackers.
What EA is doing to this game is WRONG. It takes away the "truthfulness", the sense of the game that most people know, love and appreciate.
