The inclusion of women’s championships and its players in “Ultimate Team”, one of the big news in the most popular game mode of the latest from EA Sports “EAFC 24” (formerly known as “FIFA “), did not do any good for the sexist reflexes of certain members of the community.
A new level in the nauseating reactions of certain members of the community of game fans has been reached, while Olympique Lyonnais player Ada Hegerberg, 2018 Golden Ball, shared a particularly insulting message this Monday in her Instagram story having been sent to him due to the… level of his avatar in the game.
In her Instagram story, OL player Ada Hegerberg shared the cyberharassment she suffered due to her avatar in the game “EA Sports FC 24”, the latest in the saga formerly known as “FIFA”.
“N**** well your mother the p*** on FIFA you stink of s*****, you fat s***** go. N**** your mother the f***,” we can hear in a voice message she shared from an Instagram user. “That’s going a bit far, isn’t it? » asks the player, mentioning the American developer of the game, EA Sports, whose game, one of the best-selling in the world, has been available since this Friday for players who have acquired the “Ultimate” version, a week before the worldwide release date.

A few hours later, EA Sports communicated about the Norwegian… unexpectedly. Through a message published on social networks but also displayed to all players when they connected to “Ultimate Team” mode (and which also included a mistake in the player’s name, spelled “Aga”), EA explains “ investigate a problem affecting the card (in this game mode, players appear in the form of cards) of player Ada Hegerberg, we read. Players who have this card on their active team will not be able to start a match until the item is removed from the team. »
Several Internet users had in fact noticed, since the release, that the player’s avatar, rated at 89 and therefore one of the very best cards in the game, was affected by a strange bug which prevented Hegerberg from moving correctly with the ball. . A surprising hiccup, but relatively common in the first days and weeks of a new game, notably the benchmark football game from EA Sports which is subject to corrections and adjustments throughout the year.
Present since 2015 in the game, initially in very small quantities, the players were introduced massively this year in “Ultimate Team”, the most popular and most frequented game mode of the game “FIFA”, which has changed name this summer. Five championships (Germany, England, Spain, France and the United States) have been added in full to the game mode, and Hegerberg, like other stars of women’s football, can now be aligned in the same teams as their male counterparts.
