You're stating your subjective opinions about topics unrelated to the game and comparing a simulation game to some unrelated arcade games.

It says that you have an issue with the women's game being treated in the same way as the men's game.

This is the exact opposite of what I'm saying. Men's stats have been reflected with due diligence while women's stats have been artificially upscaled - how is that being treated the same way?

If a core system of the game "doesn't matter" to you then why do you even play the game?

They're treated the same because they're all applied to have maximum fun for the players and to encourage spending. You can also play as Zico or Pele and their stats are reflective as if they played a modern game even though it just wouldn't work that way. But it's done that way because people have fun (or more accurately, spend money) playing as a legend, even if they wouldn't be the same player in today's game as they were in their day.

Simulation games aren't striving for maximum realism, they're striving for maximum engagement and enjoyment. Although defining games strictly by genres is kind of pointless these days because almost everything straddles so many of them.
