The game's 'God Mode' approach to managing footballers' lives, including their off-pitch activities and personal lives, may inadvertently normalize a sense of control and intrusion into others' autonomy. While not explicitly stated, the 'sports lifestyle simulator' aspect could potentially expose players to themes of celebrity culture, social pressures, and vices (e.g., 'avoiding negative addictions and bad habits') without robust educational context. The lack of natural stopping points in a simulation game could lead to extended play sessions.
