Fame
From FS
Fame is one of the systems in the game which charts your advancement as a player.
Your Fame level goes towards determining the amount of money received at the end of an FS Clubs and Player Managed Clubs match. The higher a player's fame level, the more FSD they will receive.

[edit] Gaining Fame
There are four ways to earn fame points:
1 - Play FS Clubs or Player Managed Clubs Matches
2 - Buy drinks
3 - Buy clothes and accessories that give fame
4 - Help your FS Club to finish in top 3 (in other words not in the last spot) in FSC League
[edit] Cashing in Fame points
You can cash in your fame points by speaking with Journalists.
[edit] Journalists
In Football Superstars, your character develops in 2 areas. One of these is the typical experience-based progression, but Football Superstars also has you dealing with the life of a Superstar off the pitch as well as on it.
[edit] Fame Levels
There are 28 Fame levels, starting at Local Newcomer and progressing upwards to... well, we'll let you find that out for yourselves. Players accrue Fame Points by playing matches, by hanging out in trendy bars and restaurants in the world and by buying drinks.
These fame points can be spent on interview time with journalists who you'll find in the town, waiting to talk to the next big thing in the Superstar League.
[edit] Journalist Types
Journalists in Football Superstars are similar to their real world counterparts and come in three forms; newspapers, radio, and television. At first you will only have enough fame points for newspapers, but as your character progresses, you can do interviews with radio and TV journalists.
When you interact with a journalist you will see this message:
You can click cancel and return to the world, or click OK to continue.
[edit] Interview Details
1 Information Panel
This panel gives players a number of important details about your character and the interview itself. Firstly, you'll see how many minutes you have available to spend in an interview, and how many minutes are needed to reach the next fame grade.
Below this you can click on the arrows to modify the amount of minutes you'd like to spend on the interview. If you have enough fame points, you will be able to select how many minutes of interview you would like and clicking on the large interview button will confirm your choice.
Following this is the total number of minutes you have spent in your Football Superstars career, sorted by the three media categories.
At the very bottom of this section are the interview costs (in Fame Points) per minute as well as the total amount of fame points you possess. You will find that buying fame points is relatively cheap for newspaper interviews, but radio and television journalists will charge you more for the privilege.
The number of unspent fame points that you have available to you is displayed last.
2 Interview history and status
The right hand side of the journalist interview box is the breakdown of your character's fame to date. The three columns refer to each of the media types and the level of completion for each one. You can also see this on character's screen on "Fame/Pos." tab.
You will see that for each form of media the column is separated into segments of 36. For each 36 minute segment you complete (either in stages or in one go) you will be given a choice of reward.
[edit] Rewards
The rewards that you will be offered will vary, but will generally contain a lifestyle reward such as an item of limited clothing, an attribute and a currency or experience reward. The value of these rewards will increase with each 36 minute segment you complete, and further rewards will be available for completing entire rows of television, radio, and newspaper interview segments.

[edit] Other Fame Benefits
Fame isn't all about how many pages your face is on, or how many minutes you are seen on TV, it's worth investing in your Fame level because the bars and nightclubs of the island are presided over by bouncers, and if your name's not on the list then you're not getting in! Certain establishments will not allow anyone below a certain Fame level to enter, so if you want to hang out in the most exclusive spots you'll need to be making the headlines on and off the pitch.
[edit] Bars, Cafes, Clubs and Restaurants
The Football Superstars world is full of bars, restaurants and nightclubs to hang out in. These make for excellent venues in which to socialise in with other Superstars, but also play an important part in your character development.
As mentioned before, as well as the levels you gain through experience in football matches you also have Fame levels to work on. You do acquire a small amount of Fame by playing in matches, but the best way to get the Fame points flowing quickly is to spend some time at a bar and buy a few drinks.
[edit] Getting in
Not all bars have open access to everyone; there are three tiers of exclusivity to the establishments of the Football Superstars world, and if you're not famous enough then the bouncers will refuse to let you in. You can find out if your name's on the list by interacting with a bouncer, they will soon tell you if you're welcome!
[edit] Drinks
When you successfully get into a bar, make your way to the bar and have a word with the bartender. This will open up a menu of available drinks.
In bars, you can purchase all sorts of drinks, and each one will affect how many fame points you gain from buying that drink, and how many thirst points you lose as a result. You can only buy drinks when your character is thirsty. Just relax in the bar to get your thirst back slowly. Alternatively, play any game of football to get your thirst back faster.
Note - you can view your thirst level when you talk with a bartender.
