Teams from the Women’s National Soccer League are now represented in the latest version of the FIFA video game, but some players aren’t happy just being included.

The multiplayer depictions in the video game are all wrong, including that of Sydney Leroux.

Leroux, a forward for Angel City FC in Los Angeles, tweeted a photo of one of the female characters, who is bald in the game.

Leroux took to Twitter to share his disgust.

“I know you hope women are appreciative and appreciative that you gave us a bit of publicity but please stop wasting our time. Some of us are bald,” she tweeted.

Players were quick to respond that the issue applies to both male and female players.

“So this usually means they’re in the progress of updating player faces. The week before, for whatever reason, they’re going to go into a generic looking bald dude.” a user wrote.

“Bald player failure is a problem that happens to any genre,” said another.

Janine Beckie objected to her blonde locks not being portrayed with her character.

Leroux’s teammate, Sarah Gorden, took issue with her skill ratings.

“When @EASPORTSFIFA didn’t put me in the top 10 for speed, I was upset but thought, ‘hey, we’ll show them.’ But when they gave me a 48 speed rating, I realized they never and never will see a nwsl”. game,” she wrote.
