Integrating the professional fast pitch league into this game would do wonders in promoting the game and providing visibility for athletes that typically don’t get it. It could also make for fun gameplay.

Regarding the assumption we should just assume they won’t be in franchise which I think is at least something everyone agrees with to a degree.

I just share the cautionary tale (for those of you that don’t play golf games) of 2K golf.

Worth noting but I don’t see it as the same. If that game were branded “PGA Golf” and had co-ed PGA competitions, that would be unrealistic, yes. That game exists in a semi-fictional golf universe.

The team sports games have already set the standard for this. You can create anyone you want (hilariously, some EA games avoid saying “male” or “female” by letting you choose between two obvious silhouettes.) Fictional characters in these games are often women, like staff, broadcasters, and officials. Even online “fantasy team” modes sometimes allow you to create a co-ed team.

However, there is not a single precedent for depicting women playing on licensed men’s sports teams without direct user intervention of creating those players.

Also, women have competed at PGA Tour events (7 women across 20 events) Including one just last year. Even if it's not semi-fictional, a woman playing tour events isn't far fetched.

Basically this is the marketing/promotion strategy for RTTS and Franchise gamers.

It's about damn time more women get involved in the Show and the greatest game God ever invented. And hopefully OS will follow that trend. So much pettiness and closed mindedness. At least women only tease each other until they develop an eating disorder.

Can we make a roster full of women in play now ?

Having absolutely nothing to do with the addition of women, and everything to do with the lack of improvements in every legitimate area, if not regression in many, this has gone from easily my favorite video game to a company I absolutely despise at this point.

You can say if you don’t like it don’t play it-fair. You can say don’t come on here to talk about a game you won’t buy-fine. Point is, most of us are baseball purists, lovers of the game, and people who grew up loving the sport and the video games. When they’ve monopolized it and destroyed it, to have some serious anger seems more than justified. Especially after the amount of money we’ve given this company over the years.

It’s Also a sad state for sports games in general.each year there used to be such excitement for releases. Tons of new gameplay changes, new immersive additions, graphical leaps, instead over the last ten or so years we seem to get updates. It’s like every major sports title is on 2015.9.

Also, I think the women’s mode would be a great mode to keep and don’t have any issues with it. It’s the fact that it is yet more deodorant on s pig, something they seem to do in Lue of improvements that prob take more time and effort that the community is upset about. Outside of the few true my soho sits, any attempt to spin this anger otherwise in utter nonsense.

I'm betting if you choose to, you can play women only in most modes. Except Diamond Dynasty and March to October.

In some ways it feels like they turning this game into fantasy though, I mean does anyone ever believe the day would come that a female will be playing in thr majors

I think at some point a team will experiment with it. I don’t foresee a day that half the league is women though.

If there's a place in baseball for Pete Rose type players or Ichiro type players, I could easily see the gender barrier broken by a woman, but probably need to play second base. But don't go by me, I can envision a day where a woman plays in the NBA and the NFL.

I would love to create good looking women in the show.

Checkout Million Dollar Arm. If they can figure out how to turn cricket players into baseball players, it's less a leap to turn a fast pitch softball player into a baseball player.

Nah. You would, as an unhappy customer, just walk away from the product. Having “some serious anger” over a video game is a different issue.

Also, “monopolized it and destroyed it” is a weird way to say “made a game so much better that their competitors bowed out”.

Especially after the amount of money we’ve given this company over the years.

There it is. Every time.
