Well I never

From what I've seen they attempt to play football.

Yeah that has to be the worst idea ever. How many good women footballers are out there today? Maybe 10 in the whole world?

But if you really want the experience of managing a woman's team you could create an amatuer side then set the highlights to extra slow. Same thing.

Women's Football = Monkey Tennis

Women Football is like people having sex with animals. You know it goes on but it's so wrong.

As long as they don't put women commentators on the game we will be okay. (match of the day women commentator is one of the worse I've ever heard)

I see no problem with giving the option to choose genders on profile setup. I'm secure enough to pick male if given a choice.

As far as putting out an exclusive game of woman football manager, I think if a group of people were dedicated enough to scout all the teams and collect all the required data for SI, and also convince SEGA that there would be profit I think it would a great idea.

i raised this a month ago but some clown moderator jumped on my back and gave me attitude over it. apologies to the non-clown mods.

Can people stop calling what the women are doing football!?!

Hahaha what a hilarious thread for so many reasons.

I don't see any reason women's football should be added, for two reasons.

1. The two don't mix at all in real football.
2. The fan base is incredably small. I went to Birmingham v Everton in the Women's Premier League last season, and there can't have been more than 100 people there (played at Valley Stadium, Redditch). My local non league team, Newcastle Town get on average 150 attending, and they are in the 9th tier of the men's game.

Exactly - men's professional football and women's football are essentially two different sports, with no crossover at all. Wouldn't it be better to make sure the men's game was covered accurately across the world?

There are some female players that are pro, although not that many.

Yeah. The difference in the number of people who claim to have interest and those who actually demonstrably do is huge. I think the last women's footy match I watched on TV was a World Cup final a few years ago. The stadium wasn't even half full.
