Why Early Access?

“Football Agent is a deep, systems-driven football agency simulation built by a solo developer. Early Access lets us grow the game together with its community — feedback on balance, the transfer market, and which features matter most will directly shape development. Real players will stress-test the economy and systems in ways solo testing never could.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Football Agent to stay in Early Access for roughly 6 to 12 months. We would rather leave Early Access when the game is genuinely ready than rush to a fixed date.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The core loop — scout, sign, develop, sell — is already complete. During Early Access we plan to deepen it: squad depth and the fight for a starting shirt, richer contract clauses such as buy-back rights, bonuses and image rights, an agent identity with skills that grow as you use them, named contacts who move between clubs, the entourage around a player, domestic cups and a fuller calendar, representing managers, and a deeper rivalry between agencies. We publish the order we are working in, not dates. These are goals, not guarantees.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Football Agent is already fully playable from start to finish: scout 47,500 players across 115 leagues in 44 countries, win clients over through multi-week negotiations, watch weekly matches in a 2D match engine with live commentary, and sell players in a living transfer market. Single-player, fully translated into 12 languages, with fail states, season goals, rival agents, continental cups, national teams and a built-in world editor. It is a complete, playable experience we intend to keep expanding.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price may increase as we add significant content and leave Early Access. Buying during Early Access supports development at the current price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback will directly shape Football Agent's Early Access roadmap. Players can share ideas, report bugs, and request features through the Steam Community Hub and our Discord, and we'll read everything.

As a data-driven management sim, the details matter — transfer balance, the economy, player progression, AI rival behaviour, and event variety are all areas we want to tune based on how the community actually plays. We'll post regular update notes explaining what changed and why, run polls on which features to prioritise next, and highlight community suggestions that make it into the game.

The game also ships with a full in-game editor: rename or add leagues, clubs and squads, upload your own crests and photos, and share the result as a data pack. Early Access is a collaboration — the players who join early will help decide what Football Agent becomes at 1.0.”
