Why is it that you can't play female teams against any other league in a normal exhibition game?
In HUT you can add women to a team with men, and the women get clobbered in any way that a guy would.
I don't understand why this isn't available.
- @SirJuggeth I asked from EA Aljo, why we can't playing with the own created women's team against women's national teams and his answer was this kind "Custom teams weren't considered when it comes to the requirement they play a women's team" . The funnest thing here it is, that if you create female players and create women's team, with their help. Then you can playing against men's team with women's team. But you can't playing against other women's teams.
Female players has arrived EA Sports games at last years. I will process to this thing by comparing FC24 and NHL 24, how female players and womens teams are available in these games
EA FC 24 :
There are five women's league in the game. Those leagues are Women's Super League (ENG), Division 1 Féminine (FRA), Frauen-Bundesliga (GER), Liga F (SPA) and NWSL (USA). In addition there are seven invidual women's club team's, UEFA Women's Champions League and fifteen women's national team.
In addition in the game is fictional international tournament Women's International Cup game mode. FIFA Women's World Cup game mode was found also from FIFA 23, but when EA lost FIFA licence, that tournament removed from FC24.
We can create owns women's leagues and tournaments.
We can create female players, whom we can use in Women's Tournament and Kick Off game mode.
NHL 24 :
There are ten women's national teams in the game. These teams are Canada, Czechia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland and USA. Later this spring EA Sports come remove France and Hungary and EA Sports come replace them with China and Denmark. Denmark has been in earlier versions, but China is new acquaintance in NHL video game series.
We can use these teams in the following game modes. IIHF Women's Ice Hockey World Championship, Play Now and Shootout.
We can create female players.
In the theory we can create women's teams. But what is interesting, although we can create women's teams in the game, but we can't play with this team against other women's teams.
The end result is it , that we've more options to play with women's teams in FC 24, than NHL 24. Sure women's football is more popular than women's hockey. That explains, why EA Sports has added women's leagues to the game in the las two years. Like we know in this moment we not have, than one potential women's league, which EA Sports could add to NHL video games in the future and it's PWHL, whom first season started in January 2024. When we not have any women's leagues in NHL videogames, would be nice, if EA Sports could add women's alumni teams to the game in the future, that we get more options to play with women's teams . Sure would be nice , if we could play with the own created women's teams against other women's teams and get a chance use players of women's national teams in team creation. What kinds those alumni teams could be? In here is some kind plan of pontential rosters.
