Everything you can do
A tour of the game by area: running a club, living a career, match day, the game types, online play, your records and the tools for building your own worlds.
Manager career#
Run one club through season after season. The Office is home; every other tool is a tab away.
The Office
One board for the week: your next opponent, the fixtures, record and budget, a roster spotlight, the standings and a season road. Desk panels track board trust, squad status, the inbox and finances.
Scrims
A scrim room with a scouting board and a session sheet. Results stamp in live, then a debrief tells you what the practice showed.
Operations
Five rooms: Trades, the Transfer Market, Extensions, the Chem Lab and a Recruiting Desk. The last two open as you hire the right support staff.
Sponsors
A commercial office. Try a partner's logo on your kit before you sign, and read replies that reflect your real odds of landing the deal.
Transfer window
Trades and AI roster moves happen in the off-season, during breaks and around each Major. It shows on the calendar and can be switched off in settings.
Break weeks
Between stages you pick how the week is spent: drills, player development, a training camp, a fan event or a sponsor activation.
Strategy
Set your playstyle and, in sports, your formation and tactics. Your plan is weighed against the opponent's and against how well your squad suits it.
Growth and support staff
Players develop through the season and decline with age. Hire scouts and staff to see further into prospects and unlock new tools.
Title run
Win it all and the final replays map by map, the two crests collide on the deciding map and your 3D trophy rises into the light.
- Trades
- Build a deal at the trade table, watch the odds dial and the other manager's mood. A traded player is locked to his new club for 12 weeks by default.
- Extensions
- Contracts can only be extended in their final year, so plan your renewals a season ahead.
- Chem Lab
- Try lineups and see which players pair well before you commit to one.
- Draft and rookies
- Each season brings a rookie class built against your league. Sports worlds hold a yearly draft with a lottery.
MyPlayer career#
Create one pro and live their career, from a tryout to the Hall of Fame.
Your phone
Messages from your agent, coaches and teammates land on an in-game phone with contact pictures and unread dots.
Your agent
Five agents, each with their own voice. Ask Agent is a phone call: pick what to say, and each request shows what it costs in trust.
Tryouts and offers
Start from an open roster spot. Call-ups and offers wait for the transfer window while you are signed; free agents can move any time.
Training and growth
Train between matches and grow your ratings. How far you go depends on how you play and how you spend your weeks.
Relationships
Coaches decide how much they trust you. In sports you can ask to come on, demand the ball or call a timeout, and the answer depends on that trust.
Creator and brand
Grow a following off the server with your own creator channel and personal brand.
Shop
Spend your earnings on houses, cars and a wardrobe.
Legacy
Your titles, MVPs and stats add up on the GOAT board and in your Hall of Fame.
Creating a player takes three steps: world, role and name. Every match moves your rating, your reputation and your next contract. Ratings, roles and contracts are covered in Players.
Match day#
Every fixture can be decided three ways. Simmed, watched and played matches field the same players and rate them the same way.
Free
Sim it
Get the result instantly, or sim a series map by map: each map is dealt face down and flips to show its result. Your own series goes through the map veto first.
Free
Watch it live in 3D
Stadiums, arenas and maps set in real landscapes, crowds and officials, cinematic intros, a broadcast camera and replays. Coach from the bench while you watch.
Play it yourself
Take your player in first person, over the shoulder in sports or behind the wheel in car ball. Desktop and touch controls, with Easy, Medium or Hard bots.
- Match summary
- A broadcast-style result: both clubs' colours, maps landing one by one, an MVP spotlight, team bars and box scores, plus a chart for each mode such as the race to 250 in Hardpoint or a goal timeline in football.
- Player ratings
- Shooter and hero players are rated against the rest of the lobby on K/D, kills, damage, objective play and assists. Hero players are compared within their role.
- MVP
- The best-rated player on the winning side, for a series, a single game or a whole tournament.
- Bench and tactics
- In sports you see condition bars, make substitutions, call timeouts and challenges, and choose Auto, Suggest or Manual help.
Sandbox Pro
Direct play is part of Sandbox Pro
Free accounts can sim and watch every match. Pro lets you take the controls in the shooter modes, battle royale, hero, car ball and all three sports.
See Sandbox Pro Game types in depth#
Each game type plays by its own rules, with its own maps, roles and stats.
Arcade shooter
Hardpoint, Search and Destroy, Overload, Control and more on fast maps, some with several floors. Every world has an arsenal of named guns, and when you play you build your own classes.
Tactical shooter
Round-based Search and Destroy with characters, abilities and a real buy economy: credits, saved guns, pistol rounds and shields.
Hero shooter
Tank, damage and support heroes fighting over objectives, each role with its own weapons. Players are rated against others in the same role.
Battle royale
Squads drop onto islands more than a kilometre across, each with named towns, docks, airfields and camps linked by roads.
Car ball Pro
Cars drive, flip, fly and ride the walls in closed arenas. Boost is a resource, demolitions take a car out, and each mode has its own rulebook.
Football, basketball, American football Pro
Real positions and formations, lineups and depth charts, a yearly draft, cups and an All-Star break, injuries and fatigue, and a computer coach on the other bench.
American football runs down by down with sixteen original franchises, nine positions, special teams, penalties and overtime. Football has 23 positions and fifteen formations. For every mode and how a match plays out, see Simulator; for how results are decided, see How it works.
Online and the Simulator#
Two ways to play a one-off match outside your careers.
Play online
Host a lobby or join with a code, an invite link or the public list. Pick the world, mode, map and size, from a 1v1 up to full lineups. Quick matches give both sides identical players, so it comes down to who plays better.
Simulator
Set up any match between any two clubs in any world. Choose the mode, series length and maps, see the win odds, then play it, watch it or get an instant result.
- 01Host a lobbyNew lobbies open on a quick 1v1 Team Deathmatch on the Arena, a compact map for one to three players a side. Change anything before you start.
- 02Send the codeFriends join with the code or your invite link. A versus screen shows who is ready, their connection and who is hosting.
- 03Take a seat or spectateTake a player, play as yourself or watch. Switch on "AI fills empty spots" to let bots take open seats. Taking a seat needs Sandbox Pro.
