Abaddon879 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Nothing against the female players or league, but I don't think it would be a worthwhile addition. It would involve including a whole different set of players and would requier loads more added to the database, plus additional researchers for the female clubs. I don't believe the game needs that, as the amount of people who would play a female league would be quite low I expect compared to the amount of extra work that would be required.

BenArsenal Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I think female footballers should have a different game altogether. Because they don't really mix IRL anyway. FFM (Female Football Manager) perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
backpackant Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 You missed the options "NNNoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!" It's a completely different game with a completely different fan base.

jod123 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 They are both completely different sports as they don't mix.

Katarian Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm against it, not because it's womens football but because it wouldn't add anything to the game. If you add in I don't know the Nigerian mens league at least that adds a little something if you load it up but don't play there. You can at least buy players from those clubs, if the womens leagues are added they would have no interaction with all the other leagues in the game except maybe for their staff.

Bragenca Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I personally think SI should rather focus on the current database and maybe add one or two leagues in FM10 . I hope there will be a press conference in FM10 when you buy players like in the real world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayahr Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I once created a poll at university, giving questions with 'yes' and 'no' tick-boxes. One girl added a hand-written 'Hell' to her ticked answer to one special question (Are you engaged? that was btw ). I would have done that here if possible.

bored101 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 i just dont believe there would be a big datebase for this to happejn and be worthy of playing if im honest. plus i dont see there being a big enough fanbase for it to get the idea going.

Anyway, with WSM growing there needs to be something the Yanks can win at Going to give you a serious answer. Just look at the coders perspective. YOu would have to add leagues which are completely separated from the men's ones, thus you would have to code in that players cannot move from one league to another like now. I guess that would be a lot of hassle. Then the simulation of women's football would have to be as different as their play is. Less athletic, more technical, way slower and no real killer instinct. Also, SI would have to choose whether they would dare to have realistically low attributes for women (i.e. a PA of 100 equalling the female world footballer of the year - this is not even meant to be offensive, but even the best females would have difficulties in the men's Championship level as everyone agrees) or to have unrealistic high attributes to prevent being accused of discrimination. Or should attributes be high because they are relative. In that case (and actually anyway, see above) you would need to code a whole new ME for the women as the current one would lead to very unrealistic women's matches.

Neopherus Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 There could be the option to involve womens leagues when you start up a new game (Just like how many leagues you want to load, only a tickbox to include the womens league). This way you wouldn't be forced to load them, but you had the option if you want. We already have female staff, so why not leagues\players? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFC Lloydy Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 My own opinion is still that adding women's football would be a massive amount of work for very little reward.If women's popular was a lot more popular than yes but it is not and so there is no point in SI wasting time (which could be spent on improving other areas of the game/adding men's leagues). As has already been explained, adding a wome's league would be a lot more difficult than simply adding a men's league due to the style of play, difference in attributes etc..

DanGLiverpool Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Maybe as unplayable, or maybe as playable through team settings like you do with reserves and U18's, but I reckon I would enjoy it. FM started the move to gain more women (to play the game obviously )this year with being able to be a female manager, perhaps next year or the year after they could introduce women's teams. They do get a bit of publicity on Sky Sports News, with the English women's and more recently the Scottish women's leagues getting on the league flicker thing on Sky Sports News.

Neil Peters Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 No, it would require more coding and there arent many womens leagues professionally anyway. You also have to consider the fanbase for it, which to be honest is alot smaller than the mens football, in business sense it would simply take too much more time and cost abit of money (overtime, working etc). So therefore no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGLiverpool Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Maybe this would be suited to a completely different game, now I think about it more. Probably start off cheaper than this game, at first, to see how it goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamilton162 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I would like to see it added in in future version, but i agree that the priorities of SI sould be to add more leagues for the men, such as the Isthmian League and the Northern/Southern Counties Premier Divisions.

jase19 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 There is absolutely no reason to waste money on a womens league.
