Football Generation features 46 national teams and 34 club teams, allowing you to compete in
the following game modes:
-
Quick Match
Clubs Cup
Clubs League
Custom: create your own competition and then play it
Quick Match
Quick Match is the classic friendly match. You can choose to play a friendly match between
two national teams or between two clubs. Alternatively, a club and a national team can
compete together, bringing to life an epic match between Brazil and a favourite club!
Clubs Cup
Clubs Cup mode allows you to take part in a Cup counterpart, with first-leg and second-leg
matches, starting from Round 32. You can choose which team to control and which teams are
taking part in the competition, or generate a random cup. Each phase will follow real
counterpart rules, featuring the away goal rule, extra time and the golden goal.
Clubs League
The Clubs League mode is a mixture of Cup and Championship and features the same
formula (first stage groups, second stage groups, semi-finals and final). You will be able to
choose participating teams and form customised first stage groups.
Custom Competition
Custom competition mode allows you to create a competition choosing from several options
such as team category (nationals or clubs), the number of participating teams, the number of
rounds, formula (Knock-Out, Groups, League), away goal rule, etc.

5. Features
Stadiums
Playing on highly detailed reproductions of soccer pitches - distinguished even by the way the
grass is cut – really creates the right atmosphere for a thrilling match!
The lively, colourful crowd reacts to events on the field, be it a goal or a nice finish, chanting
even louder when their team has the ball or watching in silence when it’s making an attack.
Every match can be played by day or night, and with variable weather conditions (Sun, Rain,
Snow, Random): this option is available under Stadium Selection before you begin a match.
Formation / Tactics
You can access this menu during the game from the Pause menu (press Escape key).
Use the cursor and Enter keys to change the players’ formation and position within the team.
Replay
From the Pause menu, this option allows you to review the last actions. Follow the
instructions on screen to rewind, play, and stop the action.
Load / Save
From the Main Menu, choose Load and use the cursor and Enter keys to load or save a game.
Tips: use this feature when you play a whole championship.
