lol oh no you called me a hipster ;_;

my whole point was that nhl and tiger woods introduced professional women athletes and tournaments recently and womens soccer is demonstrably "more popular" than womens hockey and golf. somehow the world survived the women in the nhl series being playable in the career mode (with men omg!!!) and the idea of a woman golfer winning the masters in tiger woods. they don't even have mls right in fifa 13; i doubt anyone is clamoring for professional leagues right off the bat, just an international team or two. this is not some unprecedented, deep dark territory for ea. they literally introduced and implemented the concept in two other franchises already.

besides, if ea only cared about ~maximum profits~ in this capitalistic paradise you've crafted in your head they wouldn't actually even bother with the manpower and costs of improving the game even slightly year to year and fifa 08 would be indistinguishable from fifa 13.
