EA Sports FC has made significant strides in promoting women’s soccer by including female players in its Ultimate Team mode, changing the conversation around women’s sports.
In a recent TikTok post by player Trinity Rodman, fans shared positive comments about her contributions to the game, highlighting a shift from previous negativity in online discussions.
Former NWSL player Nicole Baxter, now an assistant producer at EA, noted that initial resistance to including women has evolved into excitement for players like Sophia Smith.
Since the launch of FC 25, the game has achieved parity between men’s and women’s football, with the addition of women’s leagues and career modes.
Players like Midge Purce emphasize the importance of these developments for growing visibility and equality in women’s sports.
User feedback has shown a notable increase in interest in women’s soccer, with gamers now engaging more with female players and matches.
As soccer analyst Aaron West observed, initial skepticism has shifted to appreciation for women players, with users expressing enthusiasm for watching women’s matches.
Longtime player Christian Polanco shared how the inclusion of women in Ultimate Team has broadened his understanding and appreciation of female athletes.
Overall, these efforts by EA Sports are fostering a greater recognition of women’s contributions to soccer and enhancing the visibility of the sport.
