HALFTIME Manager Demo

A whole season to try

The HALFTIME Manager demo is a complete season in the second division, with everything that makes up your club. Pick one of three clubs, and your pick sets the difficulty: favourite, mid-table or underdog. Your assistant coach shows you the first steps; after that, every decision is yours.

What you play in the demo

• Every matchday as a 3D broadcast - from your own stadium, with floodlights, weather, replays and a choice of cameras. Or simulate straight through.

• The tactics board - 16 formations, player tokens with portrait, rating and fitness, plus substitutions and team talks in the half-time dressing room.

• Transfer market with negotiations, transfer fees, signing bonuses and loans.

• Stadium and money - expand stand by stand, sponsors, ticket prices and season tickets.

• Merch Lab - design your own kits and merchandise and watch the finished piece come out of the 3D printer.

• Training and youth academy, plus a board that sets you a season target.

What the full game adds

• Six game worlds - from the six major leagues to all of Europe with 52 countries and 3,054 clubs, plus South America, North America, Asia with Oceania, and Africa.

• A career across many seasons with promotion and relegation, playoffs, domestic and continental cups.

• Dilemmas - fifteen decisions land on your desk unasked, each with a deadline and real consequences for your squad.

• Local multiplayer for up to four managers on one PC, five difficulty levels and 40 achievements.

• World editor and Steam Workshop for your own worlds, sponsors, dilemmas and translations.

Like the game, the demo runs natively on Windows and Linux, including SteamOS, in 29 languages.
