Futbolero: Football Career Simulator

Description

From the street to the history books.

You're 8 years old, you've got a ball and a dusty pitch in the favela (or the potrero, the cage, the parish yard…). Futbolero is a fast, funny and slightly unhinged football career simulator (yes, soccer too): every choice rewrites your story, every season is one screen, and no two careers are ever the same.

Do you sign for the giants or become a legend where they love you? Bite back at the journalist or bite your tongue? Go on the cover of the world's biggest football game, even though everyone says it's cursed? You decide, with the odds right there on screen. Then you live with it… sometimes years later.

Legend mode: start as a kid in your neighbourhood

• 12 origins with their own pitch and their own stories: favela, potrero, the cage, the wasteland, the parish yard, the mansion…
  
• Live matches in full screen in the 3D stadium: you play the key moments as they happen.
  
• Scouts, trials, the academy that might let you go, your first coach, your best mate from the street… and your first pro contract at 16.

You play the moments that matter

Penalties, free kicks, dribbles, bicycle kicks, diving saves… 12 quick minigames in packed stadiums — or on the dirt pitch where it all started. Rather not? They're simulated from your stats.

Dynasties and legacy

Retire and carry on as your son or daughter. They inherit your genes, your surname, your vices and your glory — and the reasons are on screen. Your dad can be your personal coach, your grandparents grow old, and the family tree keeps growing. Wear your father's number, find his photo in the hall of fame… or get a statue of your own.

Online co-op for 2–6 friends

Play the same career at the same time, in a shared world: same leagues, same finals, the same transfer market. Team up (and get graded as a group) or go VS with dilemmas: play clean or betray? Lobby with code and Steam invites, bots to fill the seats, an endless mode where your kids take over… and head-to-head penalty shootouts against your mates.

Impostor: there's a traitor in the locker room

The rival club has bribed one of the players. Up to 6 players online (bots fill empty slots) at the club's training ground: locker room, gym, video room, medical room, the pitch… The footballers get their tasks done, and each one is a minigame; the impostor injures anyone caught alone, cuts the lights and jams the doors. Found an injured teammate, or someone blew the coach's whistle? Emergency meeting in the locker room, debate and vote.

Party mode: the Futbolero board game

A 3D board game for 4 footballers, 1 to 4 people on the same PC or online with friends. Roll the dice, win and lose coins, life happens, buy items in the shop to mess with your friends, and every round ends with a minigame. It's a career too: everyone starts in the fourth division and the scout can take you all the way to the top flight.

1,100+ moments, decisions with consequences

Dressing room, manager, board, fans, transfers, international duty, press, sponsors, partners, kids, nights out, superstitions — and a nemesis who haunts you for your whole career. Choices come back seasons later, and your keeper's life is nothing like your striker's.

Life off the pitch

Your house, your car, your partner (with a personality of their own), the wedding, the kids, the yacht… and the consequences. Press conferences with teeth, front pages, memes and scandals.
