To start the game, the club card is inserted into the machine and then a coin is inserted. In the game, the players first sign manager contract and then build a new team. Then a number of details can be entered, including the managers name and date of birth, the teams hometown, kit and badge. Next they are on the team management section, where they practice, register new players and communicate with team members to increase the team's strength and decrease their weaknesses, or enter a match.
