About This Game

Build your own volleyball career

Setter: Volleyball Manager 27 is a single-player management game that puts you in charge of a men's volleyball club.

Take responsibility for the squad, establish a playing style and guide your club through matches, transfers and complete seasons. Every decision contributes to the direction of your career, from the players you recruit to the choices you make under pressure on matchday.

Create a team with its own identity

A successful team needs more than a collection of strong players. You must find the right balance between positions, experience and individual qualities.

Study your squad, select your lineup and decide how you want the team to approach each match. Some players may suit an aggressive style, while others provide the control and consistency needed across a long season.

As your career develops, you will need to keep improving the squad. Scout potential signings, assess the information available to you and decide who is worth pursuing. Negotiate transfers and contracts while keeping the club's sporting and financial position in mind.

Prepare for every opponent

Volleyball matches can turn on a few important rotations, a difficult serve or a well-timed tactical adjustment.

Prepare a plan based on the strengths of your own team and the weaknesses you believe you can exploit. Decide how much risk to take, where to apply pressure and which players should carry the greatest responsibility.

No single approach works against every opponent. A plan that succeeds one week may need to change for the next.

Make the decisions on matchday

Watch matches develop point by point and see how your preparation translates onto the court.

Read the momentum of the match, react to problems and make changes when your team needs a different approach. Manage the important moments yourself or use an instant result when you want to move your career forward more quickly.

The outcome reflects the players on the court, their condition and the decisions made before and during the match.

Manage more than the starting lineup

Your work continues between fixtures.

Plan training, monitor player development and decide where the squad needs attention. Manage the transfer budget and wage bill, respond to expectations around the club and keep track of important developments through your calendar and inbox.

Short-term results matter, but every decision can influence the seasons ahead.

Build for the future

Players improve, decline and eventually make way for a new generation. Squads evolve, rivals change and each season presents a new set of challenges.

Develop younger players, replace important members of the team and adapt as your club's ambitions grow. Compete for domestic success, pursue opportunities in Europe and work towards building a team capable of performing year after year.

Choose how your career begins

Start in the included volleyball world, create a new fictional setting or bring in your own competition data.

Whichever path you choose, the objective remains the same: take control of a club and build a career shaped by your own decisions.

Your squad. Your tactics. Your career.
