Goalgetter

Goalgetter is a first-person football career simulator in which you play as a young striker aiming to become a top player in a major European league. Your career can run from your first professional contract at age 17 through to retirement. You train to earn a place in the team, make decisions during matches and manage your relationships, finances and life away from football.

Build your career

Train to improve your 15 skills, following the coach’s instructions or setting your own priorities. You can also work on six character traits and choose two special abilities at the start of a career, with up to 11 more available to acquire, including Header Beast, Battle Pig and Monster Shot. Hire an agent or negotiate contracts yourself, move to other teams, and employ private fitness trainers, physiotherapists or mental coaches.

Your choices shape your standing with teammates, fans, coaches, national coaches and the press. Give newspaper and television interviews, appear on TV shows, host fan parties and gatherings for teammates, request favors from teammates or help them keep their places in the team. You can become a team council member or captain, and aim to earn the national coach’s favor and lead the national team onto the field as captain. Ailton offers video advice through the “Ask Ailton” feature, which includes over 40 minutes of videos about the professional football business.

Play matches

Take part in national and international league and cup matches for your club, as well as major competitions including the World Cup, European Championship, Club World Cup, Nations League, Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, Cup, League Cup and Super Cup. You can also take control of any national team in the world. During live matches, choose shooting techniques and how to play: pass or shoot, play for the team or focus on personal success, waste time or counterattack, stay on the offside line or provoke an opponent. Live-game options cover all aspects of modern football.

You can also replay historic World Cup tournaments, including the 2022 World Cup and the 1954 Miracle of Bern. The game has detailed statistics and realistic, sometimes humorous events, alongside 3D conversations with teammates, your girlfriend, agent and coach.

Life off the pitch

Manage your personal life and money alongside your football career. You can take vacations, make friends, start a family, get married, have children, buy a home, cars and other luxury items, or host parties. Keep your girlfriend happy, sign sponsorship deals, donate to charitable causes and build a social media following through relevant posts. Your choices can affect your fitness, so take care not to jeopardize it; monitor your health to avoid long-term injuries and consider insurance.

Invest your football income in stocks across various sectors and follow their performance, start a company, or try more speculative ventures. You can also visit the casino to play roulette or slot machines. The game lets you decide how to balance these pursuits with football, while avoiding distractions and the wrong crowd.

Customize and play together

You can customize players, leagues, countries, referees and teams, and share your editor creations and community content through the Steam Workshop. Up to four players can play on one PC or through Steam Remote Play.

Presentation

Matches are played from a first-person perspective, with 3D locations including the stadium, locker room, office, casino and living room. The game also features detailed statistics and 3D conversations with people in your career and personal life.
