I've mixed feelings about this feature.

At first I don't like it because, as some have mentioned earlier, it takes resources (money and time) from other things that are needed like Be a Pro, Manager mode or even teams and players. I mean, there are a lot of generic players in the game who look completely awful compared to those scans who could use more time and dedication into them to make them look somewhat realistic, I barely play with smaller teams I like because I can't stand playing with poor representation of the players. Plus EA could've used that money to add other male national teams like more African nations or even license some of the ones they currently have, although it could be a good thing those aren't licensed because it'd lock Konami to have them if they wanted. I may even be thinking too much about it because it's still possible that they added more teams and give leagues like La Liga the EPL treatment from FIFA 15, I still hate FIFA's genericness though.

However, even after what I mentioned before, I don't hate the idea. It can possibly add more sales (however small it can be), this year their World Cup happens so it adds appeal and it could be an interesting change of pace, I might find it fun playing with those teams against my brother who we always try to play with several teams.

I think it is great. You should have seen the look of joy in my daughter's face. Soccer is the only sport she sort of follows, an she doesn't play sports games. Her immediate reaction was that we have to buy the game.

It went from a game I was going to wait for EA Access to a Day One purchase with the Women's Teams. I just wish they had every World Cup team in the game.

I'm pretty embarrassed for some of the guys posting in this thread.

This is great! My daughter will love being able to play with the US women's team now.

just remember that there is the other side of that coin...

my daughter who plays soccer and is a big gamer, when told that FIFA will have women's teams had this response...

her: meh
me: you don't think it'll be fun?
her: are they as good as the boys?
me: well not really but sorta. (I'm lying here...)
her: meh, I don't care. I'll stick with Minecraft.

to be fair, she only passingly plays FIFA but only likes Real Madrid(cause of me) and CR7.

I find it hard to believe that you honestly think that women's soccer is more aggressive than men's soccer. Glad you and your daughter are happy for the addition to FIFA 16 but please save the BS for someone who never watched men's or women's soccer.

I don't understand the hate for this....... If you don't want to play as the women then simply..... don't. I wouldn't consider this "wasting their time and resources" as some have said. It's a nice and fresh addition to the franchise. I'm willing to be there will be plenty of other additions and tweaks that will please the masses. If i'm wrong, well then...... That's too bad I guess lol.

I don't know if it is at the national level, but women's soccer sure as hell is more aggressive at the high school and college level. By a lot.

I don't know about that...I work in the athletic department in college and our men's games as so much more aggressive than the women's games.

Watch any men's team and they are rolling on the ground hoping for a yellow card. You never see that in the womens game.

Watch the US womens National team...very impressive!

I think this is a great addition.

Also, this most certainly was NOT a "waste of resources". EA is going to get a fantastic return on this investment (I don't think people realize how insanely popular the USWNT is among young girls). What you mean to say is you don't agree with them adding this feature. Because, in your mind, you think this took time away from some feature you want changed or improved. In reality, you and I don't know that. This game prints money for EA, so they could have easily just hired on an entire new group of people just to motion capture the women.

That's simply because they're not very good and have poor spacing. Go watch a U8 soccer match and there will also be more physical contact with each other than the EPL and women's world cup combined

Excellent point about hiring new team....

For those saying it's the right move and right decision because it's 2015, why?

Seems to me like the decision should be based on potential fanbase, not political correctness.

The women's World Cup is a very popular event that gets world wide attention. There is no reason that an event that big shouldn't be represented in some way in FIFA.
