Tactics, Matches, Career
Set up your side, watch it play out live and shape a career from the regional league all the way to the World Cup.
LIVE MATCH ENGINE
- 22 players and a ball move on a vertical 2D pitch seen from above, with run trails, ball arcs and a commentary strip.
- Pick your speed: 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, key moments only, commentary only or instant result.
- Results are born from skill and tactics, not from dice. A full-time analysis explains why you won or lost.
TACTICS BOARD
- 16 formations plus free positioning: drag players on the board and tap to give a role and duties.
- Defensive line, press, tempo, width, passing style, tackling, attacking side, corners, counter-attack, offside trap and man-marking.
- Shout from the touchline, make substitutions and give a half-time team talk whose tone can lift the team or backfire.
TRANSFERS AND CLUB
- Bids, fees paid in installments, loans, free agents, agent commission and a haggling table where every club has a hidden floor.
- Player values are foggy: send scouts to clear the picture and find hidden talents.
- Budget, wage cap, sponsors, ticket price, stadium, training ground, academy and scouting network.
CAREER AND CUPS
- 4 league tiers per country with promotion and relegation, a national cup, two continental cups, the World Club Cup and a World Cup every four years.
- The board sets season objectives and can sack you. A licence ladder (C, B, A, Pro, Elite) and five skills shape your path.
Why Dugout Legacy?
A football career where your decisions matter, from the dugout to the trophy cabinet.
TRAINING AND ACADEMY

- A new youth class arrives every March: unmeasured talents with hidden potential.
DRESSING ROOM
- Morale, captain, complaints, contract disputes and derbies against bitter rivals.
- Press conferences where a bold, humble or deflecting answer matters.
HISTORY AND YOUR TOURNAMENT
- Trophy cabinet, season archive, legends, records and the Hall of Fame.
- Your Tournament: pick the teams you like and run a 4, 8 or 16-team knockout cup.
A FICTIONAL WORLD
- 8 fictional countries, 496 clubs and about 12,000 players, all invented: no real clubs, players or brands.
- Up to 5 career slots with automatic saving.
