I remember having to use my imagination to picture Tim Tebow as my QB. As long as the number was correct that is all I cared about.

Women’s Pro Soccer Players React To Their Terrible FIFA 23 Characters

'You are going to scare my children,' writes Angel City FC player Sydney Leroux

kotaku.com

One of them complained that her boobs were big lol.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

so, Ubisoft redeemed?

 

[Fbh]

EA should release the percentage of people actually playing the NWSL mode.

"Sorry we didn't put more effort into what 0.5% of our userbase is using"

I think the players are just having a laugh over it.

Not so sure about the author though. From the bottom of the (Kotaku of course) article:
"Considering women's footy is still frustratingly under-appreciated despite the USWNT being more successful than the USMNT and women's soccer being more enjoyable to watch overall, it's frustrating that every time they get a crumb of recognition, it's undermined by shit like this."

"...and women's soccer being more enjoyable to watch overall"

 

[KuraiShidosha]

The vanity lol

 

[Justin9mm]

It's apparent these women know nothing about gaming and don't game themselves, it's common knowledge that most faces are not accurate male or female. What are they expecting, Last of Us level graphics lol

 

[FearlessBelgian]

No worries for them, no one plays with the women's teams in this game...

 

[Roufianos]

FIFA faces have always been laughably bad. Konami pre efootball always did way better on a tighter budget.

Typical virtue signalling backfire. FIFA includes women despite nobody asking for it.

 

[In Cold Blood]

I could have told EA that if they added a woman's game there would be nothing but nagging......

 

[azertydu91]

To be fair, most players look awful.

Except Ribéry, this one looks better in Fifa than in real life...

 

[kyussman]

Wait till they see the hilarious glitches FIFA is famous for where they are sticking their heads up each others arses.

 

[Bragr]

I took at as they are having fun with it.

 

[bitbydeath]

Just wait til the nude mod rolls out.

 

[Sleepwalker]

No shit they are not going spend money face scanning and doing mocap for the NSWL of all things, no one ever uses those teams in FIFA anyway.

 

[Fatmanp]

"...and women's soccer being more enjoyable to watch overall"

Its as high scoring as it is because they play in full sized goals, the biggest goalkeeper is the size of the smallest make goalkeeper and the best goalkeeper has the hand eye coordination if a Gaf user.

A lot of the outfield players are supremely talented but stick a semi pro male goalkeeper between the sticks and the average goals per game drops off a cliff.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Opened the article:

The FIFA 23 lords giveth, and the FIFA 23 lords taketh away. Fans have been asking for the National Women's Soccer League to be added to the game for over a decade

No one has been asking for this for a decade.

 

[nikos]

Not sure if they look worse in game or in real life.

No reason to complain because nobody is going to see them anyway.

 

[Aenima]

"...and women's soccer being more enjoyable to watch overall"

I can agree with that, just not for the sport reason though.

 

[eye__writ]

One of them complained that her boobs were big lol.

She's having a joke, sweetie. Dry your eyes.

 

[LegendOfKage]

I entered the thread expecting to find genuine outrage, but most of them seem to be having fun with it.

"You are going to scare my children" seemed pretty funny to me.

I mean sure, but in that case I'd rather just watch volleyball.
More fun to watch an also:

[vodka-bull]

Ah, yes, women. Making sure everybody has a good laugh since we let them out of the kitchen.

 

[Aenima]

Im more into female pole vaulting and track and field sports. Im not even posting a video cuz im afraid it might be too lewd.

 

[midnightAI]

We must take women's football seriously

 

[The_Mike]

Devs : yo football player we're gonna add you in the game.
Male: ok cool.


Devs : yo football player we're gonna add you in the game.
Women :

- Why are my boobs too small /big?
- Lol it doesn't look like me do some mor polygons
- it's my twin because my eyebrows are not as shaved.
- I have a too small or big bum.
And the list probably goes on.

Sigh. Ea are gonna deal with this shit from the females.

Not a single fucking thank you for acknowledging me.

 

[CortexVortex]

99% of male players are also barely recognizable. I bet if I choose my team (HSV) in EA Football I wouldn't recognize any of our players if it were not for the numbers on their jerseys. If I were a professional football player I would be annoyed by that too (I guess), but it's not just possible to model every single player properly.

It's like a menu of why soccer fans and soccer game devs are bad, written because of a player's appearance. Isn't it ironic considering the source?

Leaving the ogling disguised in the Kotaku article there, US soccer is still so far away from overall popularity to Worldwide Football ️ that the American Women and Men leagues popularity differences matter little (the writer is US based right? But under the illusion that the country microcosm is not the world and might not matter in some areas?).

 

[Banjo64]

Before I even clicked into the thread I knew that the devs gave them the 'secondary PS3 faces' treatment. WWE does the same thing for wrestlers who are not current day main attractions.

I can't recall correctly, but I think Madden did the same thing recently with some of it's 'legend' teams. I remember people ranting about it.

As if anyone looks at the women's faces in WWE

 

[Helghan]

When I read the title of the topic I knew this topic would deliver on the amount of misogynist posts. Classy as always

 

[ANIMAL1975]

Everyone in the thread that is taking this too serious doesn't have a woman at home _ They're always complaining about something....

Hey that's my uncle!

 

[Windle Poons]

That's okay the male players don't look like their real-life counterparts either.

Win-win for EA.

 

[UnNamed]

Of course they feel they're not well represented in a football game, there is a product that would fits better for them, it's called EA Kitchen.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

You females are taking it harder than the female players.

 

[Whitecrow]

Of course they are. Women dont deserve anything less than perfection.

 

[Business]

The intern at EA probably thought besides family and friends nobody will notice

 

[Robb]

Imagine the amount of complaints they'd have gotten if the women's league had been included in the early days of the series;

 

[balls of snow]

Loltaku strikes again. I relish the day ai makes them redundant and they actually have to go looking for real jobs. Lets see what virtue signaling does to your jobless ass then.

 

[Majormaxxx]

Clowns and losers.

 

[Joramun]

Include them and then they complain. They're never happy.

 

[Drizzlehell]

Way to be out of touch, self absorbed, arrogant, and ungrateful.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Way to be out of touch, self absorbed, arrogant, and ungrateful.

Yes, that's a good amount of Neogaf posters, but what's thay got to do with women having fun with the in game models of them?

 

[Portugeezer]

Yes and they also make female goalkeepers unrealistic - as in - they're actually competent in the games.

Most FIFA players look nothing like the real player. You have to play for a big team...and even then there's no guarantee.

 

[TrebleShot]

Christ, whilst I completely agree with the sentiment, these games have had shit player faces and bodies for years.

Garnacho isnt even in the game at the moment, just some generic face and dont get me started on the black and asian players, its like they dont even bother.

 

[Drizzlehell]

Yes, that's a good amount of Neogaf posters, but what's thay got to do with women having fun with the in game models of them?

GOTTEM

 

[Mr Reasonable]

GOTTEM

?

 

[Shubh_C63]

This doesn't looks like complaining.
Looks to be just remarking or having fun.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Women complaining about how they look? I'm so surprised.

 

[UnNamed]

Women should not be represented by how they look, this is sexism.
But don't let women decide on how they look is sexism too.
Don't talk about women, you're fucked anyway.

 

[RoboFu]

Are they in FIFA and not their own game?
