A first-person football career
Goalgetter is a first-person football career simulator where you start as a young, talented striker with the chance to play professional football. You simulate a whole career, from a first professional contract at 17 through to retirement, across major leagues and cup competitions including the World Cup, European Championship, Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, Nations League, Club World Cup, and more. Alongside your club career you can take control of any national team and replay historic World Cup tournaments, such as the 2022 World Cup or the Miracle of Bern in 1954. Matches are played from a first-person perspective, where you pick shooting techniques and live-game options covering passing, shooting, time-wasting, counterattacking, playing on the offside line, and provoking the opponent.
Playing together
Goalgetter supports up to 4 players on one PC, and Steam Remote Play Together is available for playing over a distance. Beyond matches, the game includes a level editor where you can customize players, leagues, countries, referees, and teams, and share your creations with other players through the Steam Workshop.
Before you start
Your decisions carry weight throughout the career. You choose how to secure your spot, whether through intense training or by winning over fans and the coach with interviews, TV appearances, and press coverage. Off the pitch you manage money and personal life: marriage, children, a home, a sports car, casino visits, stocks, sponsorship deals, and even starting a company. You can hire an agent or negotiate contracts yourself, and employ fitness, physiotherapy, or mental coaches. On the field you develop 15 skills through training, work on 6 character traits, and pick 2 special abilities at the start with up to 11 more to acquire, such as Header Beast, Battle Pig, and Monster Shot. Keep an eye on fitness and health to avoid long-term injuries, and stay clear of distractions that could derail your football.
