01 How it plays

One button.
Every touch.

No button orchestra. One action button reads the moment for you, so all that's left is timing, direction and nerve.

  • Tap
    PassAim at a team-mate in space far away and it becomes a lofted long ball.
  • Hold
    ShootHold, let fly, then keep shaping it in the air with aftertouch.
  • Same
    Tackle, slide, headOut of possession the same button wins it back. Timing decides the tackle, not a dice roll.

There's no sprint button either. Pace is a player rating, and carrying the ball costs you a yard.

The match behind this panel is playing itself right now, with a scoreboard and radar styled on the game's own HUD.

02 Aftertouch

The kick is only the beginning.

Keep steering after the strike. Push across the ball's flight to bend it round the wall. Pull back against it to lift a lob over the keeper.

Auto demo Free kick coming up… Your goals 0
BendBendLiftDip

Drag the pad, or hold ←→ to bend and WS to lift or dip, while the ball is in the air.

In-game capture Aftertouch
Real ball physics with spin and Magnus bend, and posts and a bar you can hit. Volleys, headers, diving headers and bicycle kicks too.

03 Pitch conditions

Four pitches. Four different games.

The weather isn't just for show. Every condition changes grip, top speed, stamina, how far a slide carries and how fast the ball rolls.

Normal grip, normal roll. The game as it was meant to be played, unless you say otherwise.

In-game capture Rain
A rainy Fabulous Football match with puddles, mud and boot prints on the pitch
Rain brings six puddles and four mud patches that really do stop the ball, plus boot prints and slide scuffs.

04 The world

A whole world of football.

  1. Every dot is a player

    28,116 particles, one for every footballer in the game, forming one ball.

  2. 218 national teams

    Real nations across six confederations, each with its real flag drawn in pixels. They play under governing bodies like FUFFA, EEFAB and CANMTEBOL.

  3. 1,344 parody clubs

    84 leagues across 54 countries. Try La Miga, the Bundeslager or Serie Ah, and support Leeds Turnips, Barcelona Velvet or Lima Hotspoons.

  4. 28,116 invented players

    Each has eight ratings (pace, control, passing, shooting, tackling, heading, stamina, keeping) plus form, morale and fitness. The squad editor lets you change any of them.

05 Career & competitions

Derbies and rivalries, season awards, record books and a Hall of Fame.
