Women players in game cover
For the first time in the popular football simulation video game series, the upcoming “FIFA 16” will have a female football player when it is released to the gaming platforms and the PC in September.
Alex Morgan, the forward of the USA women’s football team, has been chosen as one of the first women to feature on the front cover of football video game “FIFA 16.
Morgan is part of the of the USA women’s football team that defeated the Japanese team in the 2015 Women’s World Cup recently. She will appear alongside Barcelona and Argentina’s football star Lionel Messi in the American version of “FIFA 16.”
For the Canadian version of the football simulation video game, Canada women’s football team captain Christine Sinclair will be featured with Messi.
Morgan says that she feels honored to be one of the first women to be featured on the covers of EA Sports’ “FIFA 16.” The best paid player in women’s football said that she knows that a lot of people play the video game and she is really excited that “FIFA 16” is highlighting women’s soccer by featuring her and several others in the game cover.
It has recently been reported that the “FIFA” series has featured men’s teams since it was released in 1993. But the “FIFA 16” will now feature 12 international women’s teams including England, USA, Canada, and nine others.
Despite the awesome covers of “FIFA 16” when the game rolls out to the gaming platforms in September, not everyone was happy about it.
Some of the gamers believe that women players become incompetent every time they had their periods. And that’s aside from the fact that women sometimes do get pregnant.
The game has become subject to the so-called “FIFA 16” women jokes because some believe that they don’t get to measure up to their male counterparts of the game.
