Footballer Life

Live a whole football life, from your first kick at school to your last game, and everything around it. Play it as a footballer, a manager or the club's owner, in men's or women's football.

YOUR CAREER • Rise from school and an academy trial to your first pro contract, or start straight at 16. A mentor guides your first month. • Play the big moments yourself: shots, penalties, free kicks, headers, one-twos, last-ditch tackles and saves. Big games bring two or three. • Watch matches live with a crowd and spoken commentary, and train in real-time drills. • Earn traits and a signature skill, take penalty duty, and change your role at any age. • Transfer drama, agents who fight for release clauses and image rights, loans, and contracts that pay stars like stars. • Domestic cups, European nights with two-legged knockouts, and your country at the World Nations Cup. • Lift every trophy on screen, chase the Golden Ball, and climb the all-time scorer and assist records.

MANAGER AND CHAIRMAN • Pick the team, tactics and captain, and change things live from the touchline. • Sign and sell, run the academy and the money, keep the board happy, or manage your country. • Own a club: build the stadium, a megastore and fan zone, sell naming rights, hire a director of football, and face the fans when it goes wrong.

FANS, PRESS AND RIVALS • Post on Chirp and Snapshots and grow your following. • Face the press, survive paparazzi and tabloid stings, and keep the dressing room on side. • A rival your age chases the same goals, season after season.

A LIVING WORLD • 32 nations and hundreds of clubs across three divisions; edit the world to your taste. • Players age, improve, retire and move every summer; clubs rise and fall.

YOUR LIFE • Real money: wages, bonuses and sponsors who upgrade as your value rises, taxed UK-style, with every pound explained. • Cars, houses with gyms and pools, private jets and yachts, and trips any week, from economy to private jet. • Launch your own clothing line: drops, ambassadors, club kits and stores. Hire a brand manager, creative director and marketing head, and book photoshoots and ad campaigns. • Invest in club shares, startups and funds, and on to owning a club. • Date, propose, marry and raise children. Train your child, then take over their career at 16. • Hire staff, run a foundation and look after your parents.

YOUR STORY • Every run ends with a recap; longer runs are written up as chapters you can share. • Injuries happen mid-match: choose treatment and when to come back. • Retire into punditry or coaching, with statues, a testimonial and a legacy score.

PLAY YOUR WAY • Play a week at a time, or simulate a month or more; the game stops for anything important. Portrait or landscape. • Careers back up to your iCloud Drive automatically.

FOOTBALLER LIFE PRO (optional, one-time) • Three careers are free (one per mode). Pro adds unlimited careers, 6-month and 1-year simulations, a Hall of Fame of your legends, styles and the game editor.
