Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Career Manager 27 is an independent project developed by a solo developer. The game already provides a playable career experience, but it is still at an early stage of development.

Early Access will allow the player career, youth academy, progression, match, transfer, and balancing systems to be improved through real community experience.

Player feedback will be especially valuable for identifying issues, adjusting difficulty, balancing player development, and determining which areas require additional depth and priority during development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Career Manager 27 to remain in Early Access for approximately 18 to 24 months.

As the game is being developed by a solo developer and its scope may be adjusted in response to community feedback, this timeframe may change. The priority is to reach an appropriate level of stability, depth, and quality before transitioning to version 1.0.”

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

“We plan for the full version to provide a more stable, balanced, and comprehensive experience throughout every stage of the player's career.

During Early Access, we intend to improve progression from the youth academy to the senior squad, attribute development, match intelligence, training, relationships with coaches and supporters, contracts, transfers, loans, interviews, sponsorships, and career events.

We also plan to expand and refine competitions, customization options, Data Packs, accessibility, localization, interface design, performance, and audiovisual presentation.

These are development goals and may change in response to testing, technical limitations, and community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Version 0.1 includes the main player career loop in a playable state.

Players can currently create a footballer, choose a position and nationality, select an agent, receive scouting evaluations, sign contracts, and begin a career in either the youth academy or professional football.

The current version also includes training and attribute development, 2D and 3D match presentations, team selections, statistics, individual ratings, coach confidence, morale, injuries, contracts, transfers, loans, interviews, sponsorships, calendars, standings, competitions, and career saves.

The main systems are functional but remain under active development in areas such as balancing, stability, artificial intelligence, performance, interface design, and visual quality. Bugs, unexpected behavior, and significant changes may still occur.

Because this is an early version, some updates may modify existing systems or make older save files incompatible. Such changes will be communicated through the update notes whenever they occur.”

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

“We plan to offer Career Manager 27 at a reduced price during the initial stages of Early Access.

The price may gradually increase as additional content and systems are introduced and the game reaches a higher level of stability and polish. Any planned price changes will be communicated to the community in advance.”

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

“The community will be able to submit suggestions, report bugs, and share feedback through the Steam Community Hub and the game's discussion forums.

We will publish update notes covering fixes, balance changes, new systems, and development priorities. Feedback will be particularly valuable for evaluating career progression, youth academies, matches, training, transfers, difficulty, and technical performance.

Whenever practical, major changes may be tested before their general release. Although not every suggestion can be implemented, all feedback will be considered throughout development.”

About This Game

FROM THE ACADEMY TO STARDOM

Career Manager 27 is a football career simulator where you do not simply control a club — you experience the journey of a player.

Create your footballer, choose your position, nationality, and career profile. Face scouting evaluations, select your agent, and sign your first contract. Every training session, match, and off-field decision influences your development and determines how far you can go.

BEGIN YOUR JOURNEY IN THE YOUTH ACADEMY

Your story can begin with the Under-21 squad, where you must compete against the club's most promising young players. Improve your attributes, deliver consistent performances, and earn the coaching staff's trust to secure a promotion to the senior team.

The academy is more than an introduction. Match ratings, appearances, goals, assists, potential, development, and coach confidence are all considered as your career progresses. You must prove that you are ready for professional football.

BUILD A UNIQUE CAREER

Detailed player creation: Choose your name, nationality, age, position, shirt number, and the characteristics that define your identity on the pitch.

Agents with distinct approaches: Choose who will represent your career. Each profile provides different benefits and consequences for negotiations, development, stability, and transfer opportunities.

Scouting reports: Discover your starting level, future potential, and which clubs are prepared to invest in your talent.

Individual development: Complete training sessions, manage your fitness, improve your attributes, and balance progression against fatigue.

EARN YOUR PLACE

A place in the starting eleven is never guaranteed. Your performances, fitness, morale, and relationship with the coach determine whether you start, sit on the bench, or lose your position in the squad.

A strong run of form can turn a young prospect into a key player. Poor performances may lead to criticism, pressure from supporters, and uncertainty about your future at the club.

EXPERIENCE EVERY MATCH

Follow the action through a detailed tactical experience featuring 2D and 3D matches, team selections, substitutions, statistics, individual ratings, and events that directly influence your season.

Every position comes with different responsibilities. Goals, assists, tackles, saves, discipline, and overall involvement contribute to your rating and shape how the club, coach, and supporters perceive your player.

MORE THAN NINETY MINUTES

Contracts and negotiations: Review wages, bonuses, contract length, and release clauses before deciding the next step in your career.

Transfers and loans: Receive offers, request a transfer, or accept a loan move to gain playing time and increase your market value.

Media and reputation: Take part in interviews and press conferences. Your answers can affect your relationship with the coach, the supporters, and the club.

Sponsorships and personal finances: Sign image-rights agreements, track your earnings, and manage the opportunities created by your performances.

Injuries, morale, and fitness: Overcome difficult periods and make decisions that may protect or jeopardize your long-term career.

A FOOTBALL WORLD IN CONSTANT MOTION

Compete in domestic leagues, national cups, continental tournaments, and youth competitions. Follow standings, top scorers, news, transfers, and results as clubs and players continue their own journeys.

Use the integrated editor and Data Pack system to customize clubs, players, competitions, stadiums, and other elements of the game world.

TALENT OPENS THE DOOR. YOUR DECISIONS BUILD THE LEGACY.

From your first academy evaluation to the biggest stages in football, every season writes a new chapter in your story.

Will you remain a promising youngster, or become a football legend?

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

As a solo developer from a small town in Brazil, I used AI-assisted tools to help create some of the game’s visual assets. This allowed me to bring the project to life with limited resources while focusing my time on gameplay, systems, and the overall player experience.
