About the Game

Get ready for classic management gameplay, adapted to the increased demands on coaches and managers as well as the developments of modern soccer . GOAL offers depth and realism and confronts you with the complexity of being a manager without getting lost in micromanagement and spreadsheets. You are the coach, the manager, sports director and club CEO in one. You take care of the team, tactics, lineup, transfer market, club grounds, finances and much more. Create your dream team – if you can afford it!

GOAL is designed not only to reflect the modern demands of an all around club boss, but also to cater to the gamer’s needs.
We respect the time you have at your disposal: Whether you want to enjoy your gaming experience in depth, optimizing every aspect of your team down to the smallest detail or prefer to play a whole season in one afternoon - GOAL is the flexible football manager that caters towards your preferences.

Additionally you will enjoy the tongue-in-cheek humor, taking a poke at the sometimes all-too-serious affair that is today’s football, making GOAL a worthwhile alternative to more time-consuming manager games. Regardless of this, a career with an in-depth skill system, finances, sponsoring, squad management, contract negotiations and extensive statistics give GOAL everything managers need to dive in, including stadium environment and expansion, transfer market, scouting and youth work. Are you ready to lead your squad to victory?

Features:

  • The tactics engine unites classic management gameplay and the latest development, methods and rule changes in modern football.

What a waste of money, I understand it is early access, but this is pretty terrible in this state - I would not recommend spending anything on this in it's current state - values are ridiculous, match day is dull...feel

Finger weg! Das Spiel ist offiziell "abandoned" - es wird nie fertig erscheinen! Ist mir ein Rätsel, warum das hier noch für Geld verkauft werden darf.

The state of the game is far from being playable -> refund. Given the time that went by since the start of the development and the state the game is in right now, I do not expect this game to make it to a finished

Cashgrab not unlike a crypto scam in my eyes. This was dead on arrival and there seems to be no intention to invest the time and work to fix this. What a disappointment. What a way to take advantage of a loyal
