FM fans, what would you want from a game where you play as the footballer, not the club?

Not trying to compete with FM, just curious about something adjacent. I built LegacySaga, where instead of managing a squad you live one footballer's career: transfers, reputation, playing time, chasing trophies and the Ballon d'Or.

It's free and browser-based if you want to see what I mean: legacy-saga.com

Mostly here for the conversation. What would make a "career mode as the player" actually interesting to people who live in FM's depth?

J'ai lancé mon projet solo il y a une semaine, LegacySaga, un jeu de carrière de football

Je l'ai construit tout seul et je l'ai lancé il y a environ une semaine. LegacySaga est un jeu de navigateur où tu vis toute la carrière d'un footballeur et tes décisions influencent réellement son déroulement : clubs, transferts, réputation, poursuite des plus grands trophées.

Gratuit, pas de téléchargement : http://legacy-saga.com

Première semaine : 365 nouveaux joueurs, près de 11 500 matchs joués. Heureux de discuter de ce que signifie construire et lancer un projet en solo jusqu'à présent.

Looking for playtesters, LegacySaga, a football career game (free, browser)

One week after launch and I'm looking for people willing to actually dig in and break things. LegacySaga is a football career game, you play as the player, not the manager, making the calls that shape your career over seasons: clubs, transfers, reputation, chasing the Ballon d'Or.

Free, runs in the browser, no download: legacy-saga.com

Looking for honest feedback: what's confusing, what drags, what you'd want more of.

I made a football game where you're the player, not the manager, looking for honest feedback

Game Title: LegacySaga

Playable Link: https://legacy-saga.com

Platform: Browser (HTML5)

Description:

LegacySaga is a football career game where you're the player, not the manager. You start out as a young footballer and live an entire career from the inside, one decision at a time. Every season you're making real calls: which club to sign for, when to push for a transfer, how to handle your reputation and your playing time. Some of those choices send you straight to the top, others come back to bite you.

The whole thing is built around consequence. Your decisions actually change where your career ends up, you can grind your way to the biggest trophies and the Ballon d'Or, become a legend, and unlock your own statue outside the stadium. Or you can make a few bad moves and watch it slip away.

It runs straight in the browser, no download and no signup needed to start playing. I'm still actively working on it, so I'm really here for honest feedback : what's fun, what drags, what's missing, what confused you. Don't hold back.
