The best player in this regard is the figure of the United States, Carli Lloyd, who according to the classification established by the overall quality game has a 91 .

However, Paul Davis, specialist video games Video Game 247 company and who proved a match of women’s football in FIFA 16, believes that not about a comparison directly between the two genres.

Their conclusion is that the experience of playing with women “is similar to the male version,” but that one should not expect the same qualities between a man and a woman presenting the same opinion.

“There is a vast difference in the equivalence” he said in his evaluation.

“But this is right, as there are many factors to consider such as speed and physical power which are areas in which dominated by men. “

This difference may have benefited the overall game as the video game critic Ben Wilson, the British daily The Guardian .

“ The FIFA series has enjoyed a rejuvenation since the advent of the latest generation of consoles , but too common in FIFA 14 and FIFA 15 games the games were dominated by the elite players with speed and power, “he said.

” With the promise of programmers boost ‘confidence to defend’, ‘control in the midfield’ and ‘magic moments’ experience of the game has changed. “

“Speed ​​and power are still important, but as much as any other attribute,” said Wilson.

“But is now crucial to know correctly use the sense of time, space and opportunity . “

” And this is no better than in games of women shows “he said.

Trading Component

The truth is that the September 24, 2015 marks a milestone for the women’s game, he hopes is another step in its consolidation in the international arena.

From this Thursday Three women appear in the company of Lionel Messi in the image that promotes the game , figures were chosen because of their popularity in their respective countries: Alex Morgan in the United States, Christine Sinclair Stephanie Catley in Canada and in Australia.

It is clear that the incorporation of women into the game had a commercial component, but that is something that is incidental to the players themselves.

” Be one of the first women to be part of something is one thing that we always remember “he told the BBC the captain of England, Steph Houghton.

” We hope to serve to raise the profile of women’s football further. “
