Female players finally get management moment in video games

Realism is a big draw for fans of management sims, and both EA FC and Football Manager have kept salaries and transfer fees for women players in line with the real world, where amounts tend to be much higher in the men's game. But Andreas says the EA FC team has made a few concessions - such as the venues where matches in the game take place. Using his home club Frankfurt as an example, he says the women's squad usually plays at a smaller stadium but all the matches in EA FC take place in the Deutsche Bank Park. It's the largest stadium in the German city, where the ladies team's bigger fixtures are held in real-life. On a practical level, it means the team doesn't need to recreate another venue inside the game.
