Start your journey, develop your player, climb the leagues and face the unexpected. Football: Game On puts you in control of your footballing career — on the pitch and off it.
Your career begins with you signing for a League Two club. Your starting wage will be modest, but that is only the beginning. As your career develops, so can your earnings through improved contracts, sponsors, events and more.
Football careers have their ups and downs. The choices you make throughout the game can affect your progress, finances, relationships and reputation. Think carefully — one decision can have consequences later in your career.
To play in league and cup competitions, you need enough Playing Cards. These determine your opportunities to be selected by your manager, so managing them wisely is an important part of building your career.
Matches are your chance to make an impression. Perform well and you can catch the eye of your manager, the fans and scouts from clubs higher up the football pyramid. A big performance could put your name on another club's radar.
You are treated like a real footballer. You can be booked, sent off or injured, and those events can affect your career. Not every match will go according to plan.
There are four leagues to work through, from League Two all the way to the Premier League. Each division follows the familiar football structure of promotions, play-offs and relegations.
What happens away from the pitch matters too. Maintain a clean image because reputation counts. If the press finds something worth writing about, expect it to become part of your story.
Talk to your manager, deal with agents, pursue better sponsorship opportunities and haggle with your current club for a better wage. Your football career is about much more than what happens for 90 minutes on the pitch.
From your first League Two contract to the possibility of Premier League football, every stage of your journey brings new opportunities and new risks. Build your reputation, improve your player, make the right calls and see how far you can go.
Your football career is waiting. The question is how far you can take it.
