Moreover, you can keep track of the players’ actions off the pitch and see to it that their football-star lifestyle did not affect their career negatively.

In Lords of Football your primary task is planning a day, supervising training sessions, and managing the individual features of players so that each of them used his full potential.

During a match you can give commands to individual players. This results in having much more control over what happens on the pitch, and also makes you feel like a real coach standing behind the sideline.

Although it is not the most important feature in this type of games, the authors made it possible for players to watch everything that players do from any point of view. You can enter a gym and see how the players work out, then go to a club to see them relaxing after a hard day. Of course, all this is represented in fully 3D environment. The interface is clear and easy to use.
