Gamescom: Women Out For FIFA 14, But Future Is Possible

With Europe in love with soccer, (or European Football as it’s also called) it would make sense that the topic of including women in the FIFA Games would come up at Gamescom, which is the largest European trade show dedicated to the games industry. However, EA went on record saying that at least for 2014, women will not be included. There is a bit of a disconnect between the US and the European market over the game.

The Xbox One will now allow used and rental games, will no longer require an online connection other than one time when the unit is setup, and will not have any regional restrictions.
