ESPN and Konami tried twice to make an MLS game, under two different names, to little fanfare. I would not make a guarantee on that but neither would be a profitable endeavor, so it's a moot point.



Speaking of profits, according to US Soccer, the USA Women's team has lost $27 million since 2009. They were also paid more over the last eight years than the Men's team. Can't post a link (under 5 posts) but this was released by US Soccer just a few days ago.

The case against a developer creating a Woman's Soccer video games is pretty simple. The NHL, Canada's National pastime, is more popular in the US than Soccer and the majority of that popularity is thanks to the MLS, with the exception of every four years when the Women's National team plays. There are already two popular soccer games on the market and one has playable National Women's teams.
