What is FS
From FS
The Football Superstars is a free MMORPG football game.
In this game you will create a character, who will be playing 3D matches. Although FS is similiar to real life football in many ways, some things differs here.
As MMORPG, FS offers several layers of gameplay:
1. Football. As a football player, you will play matches in the current 3D match engine and live in the FS World.
2. PMC management. You may create your own club or get a management position in one of the established clubs. As such, you will set up tactics, scout for players, analyze matches of your team and generally manage your club.
3. Community. As a member of the community, you can contribute in several ways. You can play on the Test Server to find bugs and make the game better, set up or help run competitions, provide your suggestions on the game and make video tutorials on how to play.
Players in FS don't have a particular position. When you create your character, you don't have to chose, whether you want to be defender/midfielder or a striker. For every match you enter your position will be assigned randomly, however you are free to swap with a teammate if she/he agrees. Once you will enter Player Managed Clubs, your position will be assigned by your manager.
At the beginning all you will see is 5 a-side 10-minutes games between Team A and Team B. Most player likely won't be keeping their positions, run around and have little knowledge about tactics. However, as you level up, you will be introduced to more sophisticated and organized games. Since level 10 you will play Division 4 games, which are usually an improvement over amauter games. Since level 25 you will be able to play 7 a-sides and since level 50 you will be able to play 11 a-sides. Additionally, at any level you can enter PMC and play 7s or 11s from the very start. PMC games are considered to be the most organized matches, they feature the game plan, strictly defined roles and set plays. Once you passed the early 5 a-sides stage, 7 a-side 30 minutes matches by far the most popular type of matches in FS. 11 a-side 30 minutes also happen fairly often and on very very rare occasion you can play 11 a-side 90 minutes football match.
Most of FS players are from Europe. Russia, Poland, UK, Germany, Turkey and Ukraine have significant population in FS. There are also some players from USA, South America and Australia. The official language of FS is english and helpers are keeping in-game chat to english, however you can talk with other player in whatever language you like.
Game worlds
There are two game worlds available to play in: Pele and Cruyff. Pele is the first world of the game. Cruyff was launched in July 2010. Pele and Cruyff are completely independent. Although it may be possible to create competitions across two worlds, there's no point in it right now as Cruyff world is still very young and only populated with low-level players. You can have Character on both worlds under the same account. Character on different worlds can have the same nichname. Bonds are delivered on the account level, from where you can assign them on any of you character on any world.
