Sidelines - Football Manager 1.0

Engage in the strategic world of football management from the sidelines with a headset on. As a manager, you'll navigate complex elements such as budget management, fan support, team morale, and overall team success. Each decision you make will impact these critical statistics while progressing through the league. The game employs an intuitive card-swiping system, where decisions are made by swiping left or right, impacting your tenure based on the team owners' evaluations of your performance.

Your primary objective is to maintain your position while satisfying the team's owner, with your success in the American Football League hinging on every choice you make. Strive for trophies, but be aware that poor decisions could lead to termination.

How to Play and FAQs

• To make a decision, swipe your finger across the card – either right or left. Ensure you maintain contact until you review potential outcomes presented in the highlighted area below the card. The outlines indicate your choice: green for left and red for right. Each choice will influence your four vital statistics, and reaching a success rating of zero will result in a game-over screen.
• Does the game have an ending? Currently, there is no definitive conclusion, allowing players to manage their teams indefinitely. Future updates aim to incorporate a narrative feature that adds depth to your experience as an American Football Coach. After concluding the story, players can continue to see how far they can take their team.
