About This Demo

If you are anything like me, you'd love playing the same football sim every year, whether it's the spreadsheet one or the other one.

Both have their good sides, but none gives you the thrill of playing an RTS game or a turn-based tactical shooter?

Well, Football on Paper is THAT.

Build a team from scratch, find players, train 'em, field 'em and once they are on the pitch, draw your game plan turn by turn, minute by minute and watch 'em play. It's "We Go" football baby!

On and off the pitch, you are the manager, you are the brain. Speaking off brain, the opponents watch you, game after game: Do the same thing on every turn and you can be sure they will guess what you will do, breaking that play immediately and getting the ball from you, marking the exact men you pass and breaking havoc on your half.

Your players gain experience for everything they do right (so does the rest of the league), and there awaits you the skill tree and upgrades for when they level up.

Manage your finances, your staff, the training... Most importantly, manage your tactics on atomic level.

A brutal realization awaits you: Football is easy only on paper.
