⚽️🥅 GOAL! - The Club Manager | "A Challenger For The Football Manager Crown?" ⚽️🥅 @Toplitz_Prod

This is an interesting piece of news about a Football Management sim that passed me by and is now ready for a reboot...

First released in 1993, the series is considered a milestone for realistic sports management mixing tactical depth with deep involvement in all areas of the club from finances to stadium extensions and a deep youth system while adding a healthy dose of humour. 

After a successful Kickstarter campaign, 2tainment and Toplitz Productions are looking forward to working together on this title to deliver a memorable experience as a club manager to gamers.

By Fans. For Fans. With Fans.

This creed sums up perfectly what GOAL! - The Club Manager means for everybody involved. The development team 2tainment consists of die-hard soccer fans and fervent players of the older franchise entries. Their goal: To deliver a gaming experience that evokes the spirit of Anstoss 3 (for many fans not only the best entry in the series but until today considered one of the best football managers of all time), while incorporating all the modern challenges and achievements that make the beautiful game what it is today. You are not limited to deciding the squad, training or tactics. With GOAL! you are involved in finances, take care of spotting the next talents in your youth system, are responsible for transfers and the overall financial health of your club – all while managing your personal career as well.

This is the game for the fans, who devotedly follow their team every weekend, eagerly awaiting who will be picked for the starting 11. For the fans, who celebrate with every win, who lament every loss and are full-throated tell everybody why their team is not successful and what should be done differently.

Community feedback plays a vital role in development: The team is aware of the expectations and responsibility that comes with a reboot of this classic franchise. This is why they rely not only on Kickstarter backers, but the German football manager community as a whole to get their input and feedback.
