FM2015 is pretty good on handheld.
Not close to as good as the PC version but for £7 it's well worth it.

I saw this yesterday on Twitter and I have to say that its impressive.
However, it is, at this stage, very, very limited as very few game modes support it.

They're just testing the water with it, give them a chance, because regardless of the absolute correctness of the move, it's still a bold one to make with a franchise that has spanned three decades. I hope it proves successful, because it really could raise the profile of the women's game globally, and rightly so*. *Except for Eastlands City women's team of course, they're just buying their way to the top at the expense of others.

Sadly some of the posts that came underneath the article I saw referred more to the accuracy of bounce rather than the football.

It will be interesting to see how the women will be rated. If they actually used the same scale as they do for the male players there'd be uproar if they rated the best female players around 50s etc, but equally there'd be uproar if female players were rated 80-90 rivalling the best PL players. The only way I can see them doing it is for women to have their own ratings and never be able to play men's teams in any of the game modes, eg the top female players can be rated 80-90 without female/male ratings being able to have a conversion to each other. I guess it's all relative.

I guess it's all relative. Surely it'll be on a horses for courses basis, so they should get top ratings within their own game, why shouldn't they? I totally agree with you that they shouldn't be pitting the men against the women in the game, if they do they're making a serious mistake. The Women's game should be a game within the game, they'd be foolish to do anything else in my opinion.

That would be the logical way to go mate.

Speaking of gaming, I've been thinking lately regarding the future of consoles and games. With the advent of cloud-based software and games etc, I can see a situation in the future where PSN and XBOX live for example, become an all-in subscription plan, in much the same way as a mobile phone contract works. Monthly subscriptions will hire and in time pay for the hardware over the course of the subscription, and all games released will come under that subscription cost and be accessed and played via the cloud, so no physical discs will be needed, costs will be kept down without the need for discs and cases/artwork, and you will be able to upgrade your hardware to the next generation as and when they arrive.
No, I've not nabbed this from anywhere else, it was just a thought while having a conversation with my son. It's not ground-breaking, I'm sure this will have been conceived long ago.

god no! it will be more monetised than that. i could see them allowing unlimited indie titles, but can't imagine FIFA or CoD or any of the other franchises coming under your sub. i was reading an edge from 2012 (cos i'm always behind), and it was talking about the dev cost of 'triple a' titles having risen to £50m; and that was on last gen!
i need to start playing again. haven't switched the 360 on in a year. need to finish skyrim, then play all these things that i haven't got round to from the last gen like red dead redemption, limbo, bulletstorm, the goldeneye reboot, halo: reach and a number of others; all of which i've never even got out of the box. then i can think about the current gen, just in time for the next elder scrolls game...

Very good points there, ars, and you're probably spot on regarding the top titles not coming under subscription.

I can, rightly or wrongly, see Women's football getting bumped down to DLC from FIFA 17 onwards...should they keep it anyway!
If it is well received I wonder if PES or Football Manager will follow suit!
Anyway sorry for interuppting Gazza and ars!!

I believe the Women's game SHOULD have their own section on FIFA, not DLC, but properly included.

I think that it should be its own game, then all features can be utilised.

they won't do it though james - not commercial enough in and of itself. if someone's going to buy a FIFA game, it'll be the one that has the premier league, la liga, serie a, bundesliga, etc. if you release a standalone women's FIFA it's always going to be up against that. i could see it being DLC, but it ought to just be a main game menu option.
