While all that is true, average attendance of women's football even in Germany is pretty small. A bit less than twelve-hundred last season for the Frauen-Bundesliga, compared to six thousand for the third Bundesliga in Germany, even some of the fourth leagues have higher average attendance. Then again, they could just start small and see if it pays off.
To be fair, i think some 3rd league teams here in Germany have more fans than the womens national team plus i think in Germany 1-3rd league are all included in the Bundesliga license.
Eh, while I'm all for adding female leagues to existing franchises, I really don't think a separate game dedicated exclusively to them would stand any chance on the market.I'd rather not let EA get the licence for womens football leagues, leave it open for another company to have a go at making a decent game in its own right.
The expensive part is most likely creating female players, period.I don't think it will be expensive to create a few teams of women players, it all depends on how much it would cost to license them.
Do you know what's the biggest market for FIFA games?Not in video games biggest market, USA.
The 3rd league isn't included in Fifa. Only the 1st and the 2nd.

But of course, maybe I'm wrong and there's a crying need for that game.
It wouldn't be a viable business decision in the slightest.
Ah okay, always thought Regionalliga was in Fifa.
I could see EA testing it as a DLC but i doubt it will do much.

Can't believe EA using the Ubisoft excuse.
Considering how they gradually have been adding smaller leagues and teams for the sake of completness and broad appeal I could see them one day add womens fotball. Hopefully sooner than later even if I personally wouldn't be using those teams like I don't play with say asian or scandinavian teams.
The "Ubisoft excuse" actually applies pretty well here. Imagine the backlash if they just took a standard player model and added breasts to it. Modelling female players properly would require significant development time and money.Well, I don't think a women's league game is going to fly but adding some women's teams to an existing game doesn't seem like asking for too much.
Heck, EA's NHL has all sorts of tiny little minor hockey league teams in it that you can play.Well . . . it used to. I think they might come back.
The USA is in no way Soccer's biggest market, so why would the USA dictate the design of their least popular "major" sport? Do you honestly think there are more women's soccer fans in the US than there are fans of the US National soccer team?
really?

Well, women's football has a completely different kind of dynamic (or lack of) compared to the men's version.
Sure, you could just replace the models but if you want to do it right you would need to write a new match engine.
Is there actually a market for it or is this just PC bullshit? If there's actually a market for women's soccer in the games then of course it should be in there.
Ithink there would be more interest in USA women team than in any Saudi Abdul Latif Jameel League team.
Of course there's a market. No question. Is it an easy money - suckers will keep buying it as long as we throw in a few updates and keep the rosters fresh each year - kind of market. Probably not.
This. It makes financial sense as DLC only.release it as a 25 dollar dlc to fifa 15 or standalone and I'll bite. The thing is that a lot of people won't buy it due to it not being that popular outside of the US.
Is there enough of a market though to make it worth cost of the player names and development, though?
What!? Of course you can petition an entertainment company to create something. There's just nothing that compels them to give two shits about your petition.You can't petition an entertainment company to create what you want, can only petition for laws or initiatives.
I would imagine they sell more copies of FIFA in the US than in any other country, just because of the high population. Feel free to prove me wrong though because that's just a guess.
That's my point. Petitions are made to get initiatives put on ballots.What!? Of course you can petition an entertainment company to create something. There's just nothing that compels them to give two shits about your petition.
The thing about "not being a market" is because there's not a lot of marketing for games. EA and other publishers mostly market their games to their demographic which include males 18-40 years old. That's their main market.
But if they find a way to fit this into their FIFA franchise and good marketing to appeal to woman then this definitely has potential. Everything is marketable if done right. It's a risk but it would be a great way to advance the series.
It's not just in the US where woman play soccer, it's also in many places in Europe, and Latin America. Additionally I think a FIFA woman's soccer game could be appealing to their mostly male audience as well.
if i can't name any player, Why Bother?
They could probably do this. Pick a couple of the top women's teams from around the globe.I don't think it will be expensive to create a few teams of women players, it all depends on how much it would cost to license them.
What would they have to change about their marketing? FIFA already gets plenty of advertising. Should they start a "FIFA, now for girls too" campaign? I'm also not sure if the male audience is all that interested in female teams considering how the audience that woman football has still pales in comparison to the male leagues.The thing about "not being a market" is because there's not a lot of marketing for games.

And if it doesn't suddenly get popular they will have wasted tons of money.I don't think some of them can
Can't believe EA using the Ubisoft excuse. As it implies here that even in the future they wouldn't add women. If it would take multiple years to implement and women's football got popular suddenly they'd be years off or rush female heads on males bodies. Might as well start now and spreading the cost over years then have a big ad campaign once it's near ready.
