Football Career Sim: Be a Pro

Seventeen, starting in a youth team. When to stop is your call.

A simulation of one footballer's career, from the first training session to the last. You are not running a club; you are living as one player.

■ A player who grows month by month
A season is ten months, August to May. Each month you see that month's games and exactly what grew: Dribbling 57 → 58 +1. Play more, play better, and you grow faster. Move on one month at a time, or let the months run on their own.

■ Growth cards, every second season
Ten attributes, and they grow on their own as you play. Every second season you pick one of three growth cards of the same rarity: Common, Rare, Epic, Unique or Legend. Your first card is always Epic, and each card gets one free reroll. Some cards raise an attribute straight away, some lift its hidden limit, and some pay out only when you meet their condition. Every attribute has a hidden limit, and you only find it by reaching it.

■ Player of the Month, Team of the Month
A big month is recognised: Player of the Month, Team of the Month, Save of the Month for a clean sheet. No hidden draw decides them, only your numbers, and the trophies stay on your career. The table and the club news move every month too.

■ The odds are never hidden
In the situations that land during a season, every outcome shows its real chance, and you can open the breakdown of what moved it - your attributes, your manager's trust. Free, ad and ticket starting-stat rolls share the same published odds.

■ Youth team to first team
You start in the youth team, pass through the reserves, and earn the first-team place yourself.

■ 12 leagues, 125 clubs
England, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Korea, Japan, North America, the Gulf, South America, Portugal, the Netherlands. Debut age, wages, quotas and what managers want differ by league. Every league, club and person in the game is invented.
