All you need to do is register an account for the website and forums, and go to the Transfer Window Opt-in page in the Members section of the site to put yourself on the Transfer List.
If you’ve previously registered for the Closed Beta, whether you were lucky enough to get in or not, you’ll already be on the Transfer List and will be among the first to be granted access to the game.

What is Football Superstars?
Football Superstars is a brand new, genre-defining Massively Multi-player Online Game (MMOG) due to be launched in 2008. Based on the hugely popular sport of football, Football Superstars takes the player through the life of a footballer, from grass-root kick-abouts to the pinnacle of premier football and international stardom.
What is a Massively Multi-player Online Game?
A Massively Multi-player Online game (MMOG or MMO) is a computer game which is capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously, played on the Internet and usually featuring a large and persistent virtual world. In the case of Football Superstars that virtual world will be football themed.
Is Football Superstars a management or action game?
Football Superstars is an action football game combined with a persistent world for the players to play games on the pitch and enjoy the trappings of their success off the pitch.
Is the team controlled with AI like FIFA and PES?
No, in Football Superstars the player assumes the role of a single player character in both the football arenas and the virtual game world. These Player Characters (PCs) interact, compete and collaborate with other PCs within the game world. This means that, in terms of playing football, each member of both teams will be controlled by a real-world player, except the goalkeepers which will be AI controlled. In the lifestyle world we’ll have a number of Non-Player Characters (NPC) that assume general roles within the game e.g. shop owners, traders, journalists etc.
How can I communicate with the other players?
Players will be able to communicate using an in-game chat system, similar to instant messaging, and also speak to each other using headsets.
Are there tournaments I can take part in?
Yes, there will be a wide range of leagues, competitions and tournaments that players will be able to take part in throughout the game.
Can I make my own football club?
Yes, players will be able to create their own football clubs. More details will be revealed on this subject later!
Can I create my own player and my appearance?
Absolutely. You will be able to completely control your character’s appearance from the shirt on your back to the hair on your head.
Will there be real teams involved?
All teams will be made up of groups of player characters joining together for various reasons be that social, time of the day, friendship lists or just random groupings. Beyond that we’re building in the ability to play for your favourite club when they have need of your abilities.
When will the game be coming out?
Football Superstars is planned for a launch in the summer of 2008. Sign up to our newsletter and get regular updates directly from the team, including being amongst the first to know how to be a beta tester.
Will the game be sold in retail shops like Game and Virgin?
The game will be downloadable for free. However, we are also looking into alternative distribution methods and suitable partners. As yet, we have made no firm commitment beyond making sure it will be as accessible as possible to everyone who wants to play the game.
Are there any plans to bring this game to consoles like the Xbox360 or PlayStation 3?
The game is based on the cutting edge MMO middleware development platform designed by Monumental Games who are in the process of expanding their middleware platform to include consoles such as Xbox 360 and PS3. It is entirely possible that future updates of the Football Superstars game will include console versions of the game.
Is it safe for children to play the game?
Yes, creating a safe and fun environment playable by players aged 12+ is very important to us, so Football Superstars will contain no adult content or violence. The game will be rated using the PEGI Age Rating system, plus we will be looking to use the brand new online game rating system that PEGI is introducing specially for online only games.
How do I get involved?
You can get involved right now! Register with us via the registration page to receive a regular newsletter which will detail ways you can contribute to Football Superstars. If you sign up now you’ll also receive a free in-game item when the game launches and chance to access the beta testing program.
What are the benefits to registration?
You will get access to exclusive material, interviews and feature updates. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to directly interview the developers working on Football Superstars and have your say on what will ultimately be your game.
How do I become a Beta tester and what does this mean?
Beta testers play the game before its full release and give feedback on bugs as well as suggestions on how to make the gameplay experience even better. Beta testing will commence mid 2008. If you register for the regular Football Superstars newsletter, you will be amongst the first to know how to sign-up for beta testing. We anticipate demand will be very high, so registering early for this will be a key factor in any beta application due to a finite number of accounts available.

Introduction
Football Superstars gives you the opportunity to live your football dreams. Whether this is on or off the pitch, you shape your footballing future. So how do you go about this?
The gameplay features section gives you an overview of how you navigate your player through the virtual world, from sideline to stadium. Each article gives an insight into how the design team have structured your football world.
Be sure to check the archive for previous articles, and back here for more exciting updates...
Feature 8: Football Superstars Clubs
We previously covered the exciting possibilities of Player Managed Clubs and how they allow you and your friends to create your own team, design your teams kit and relax in your own club house before dominating other PMC’s in seasonal challenges. But how will you forge these relationships and acquire the finances to run your own club ?
The two initial towns of Football Superstars are the home to 14 teams, each with their own grounds including club bar, gym training centre and more. With a rich history, these teams compete against each other in a 4 week season, challenging for league domination.
As a new participant to the Football Superstars World you will be asked to choose any one of these teams to represent, beginning life in the 4th division.
Playing for your team is easy. Bring up the match finder, choose your game criteria and the game system will match you with other similarly skilled players within your team before fetching an equally skilled team from one of the 13 opposition. Some pre-match chat in the changing rooms allows you to refine your tactics and select the skills and talents you will take with you on the pitch. Then it’s out into the tunnel and the roar of the crowd…
Play well and you will soon be promoted into the next division, finding tougher competition but much higher rewards. With better pay comes greater fame and celebrity status allowing you to enjoy the finer trappings of your new found success.
Advancing through the divisions also allows you to unlock greater opportunities for match play. Beginning with 3 and 5-a-side matches, understanding the control system and forging relationships will be your initial priority. Promotion means greater responsibility within your club and the first chance to experience 7-a-side matches where the relationships you have made with your fellow team mates will determine your success in games where positional play becomes critically important.
By the time you are participating in full 11-a-side games, you will be playing in some of the most truly awe inspiring stadiums the virtual world has ever seen. Here, hundreds of thousands will come to watch YOU play, and only then will you understand exactly what is required to be a successful member of a professional squad.
Each of the 14 teams will have its own club website with their own bespoke history, features, forums and much more, giving you an online home whenever you are unable to immerse yourself in the Football Superstars world. We will be running competitions, focusing on star players and giving you many more ways to get involved.
See you on the pitch…

Football Superstars is the world's first Virtual Football World. A whole virtual world that has been built by football fans for football fans! | |

How do I get involved? |  |
| Why is this offer worth over £50? Here's the best bit! Despite Football Superstars being a free to play game, we have teamed up with your E-Squad to give you a FREE 12 month PREMIUM subscription package. As a Premium Subscriber, each month you will receive a bundle of goodies including in-game money, items for your (virtual) self to wear such as top of the range boots & designer suits, access to exclusive subscriber only areas of the virtual world and the opportunity to manage other Football Superstars in your own player managed team. |
Who do I play against?  You will play against (and with) other individuals all of the same skill level as yourself. The great thing about Football Superstars is you only ever control yourself rather than a whole team. This means when you pass the ball to a team member it will be another individual that will be controlling that player. 'On me head son!' | What's in the virtual world?  There are bars, clubs, restaurants, shops, stadia and a whole lot more. All this has been built within two HUGE virtual towns with the capacity to host millions of other football fans online at the same time. A brilliant aspect of this game is that the better you become, the better your experience in the virtual world. |
So what do I do next? Just sign up for your E-Squad and we will send you an email with a coded link to claim your free Premium Subscription. Once you have signed up to Football Superstars we will communicate with you regularly leading up to the launch later this summer.
Good luck...and maybe we can challenge some other E-Squads to a game?!
