First steps
The main menu, your first career and a few pointers for the first weeks.
The main menu#
Your latest career sits at the front of the main menu, with its bank balance, ranking and what is next. From there:
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Continue | Picks up your most recent career where you left it. |
| New Career | Make a player and start at the bottom, or play a scenario. |
| Load Career | Every career you have started, with its backups. Saves and updates. |
| Online Co-op | One career played together with friends (Windows). Online Co-op. |
| Exhibition | A one-off match against anyone in the world. Exhibition matches. |
| Hall of Fame | The greats of every career, yours included. |
| Mods / Data packs | Add players, events and more made by others, or make your own. Data packs and mods. |
| Settings | Display, gameplay, audio, accessibility, controls and language. Settings. |
| What’s new | The changes in this version of the game. |
Your first career#
- Choose New Career → Your own career.
- Work through the creator: who you are, your look, your game, your world, then Ready. Creating your player.
- You arrive at the career hub. A short tour shows you round.
- Look at the calendar, enter an event or two you can afford, set your training, and press Continue.
The first weeks#
- Pick your events. Entry fees and travel leave your bank before any prize money comes in. Early on, a few events you can win usually do more for you than many you cannot.
- Watch the bank. The Finances section shows what is coming in and going out. Running out of money narrows your choices fast.
- Practise. Training is how a player gets better between events. A balanced week suits most players.
- Rest. Events, travel and hard training build up your workload. A tired player throws worse.
- Read the inbox. Some messages ask for a decision, and time waits until you answer.
- Look up. Your season goals on Home tell you what to aim for next.
Saving#
The game saves your career as you play, every few in-game days (you can choose how often in Settings → Gameplay), and keeps backups of each career. You do not need to save by hand. Saves and updates.
