BUILD YOUR AUSSIE RULES CAREER Create your player and experience an entire Aussie rules football career where every season, decision and spin can shape your story. Aussie Rules Star is a career simulation built around progression, unpredictability and creating a different football journey every time you play. Start as a young player trying to establish yourself, develop your abilities across multiple seasons and see just how far your career can go. CREATE YOUR PLAYER Build your footballer with an extensive player creator. Customise your appearance with different faces, hairstyles, facial hair, body options, gear and kits, then choose the type of player you want to become. Choose your position and build a player whose attributes, development and career can evolve over time. PLAY YOUR CAREER Take your player through season after season of professional football. Your performances, form, selection, injuries, development and opportunities can change throughout your career. Strong seasons can propel you towards the top of the competition, while difficult seasons can test your ability to bounce back. No two careers need to follow the same path. SPIN YOUR STORY Interactive wheels help determine key moments throughout your career. Form, performances, development and other career events combine with your player's ability, position and circumstances to create an unpredictable career simulation where both great and difficult moments can happen. Optional rewarded advertisements are available at certain points to provide additional opportunities or spins. DEVELOP YOUR PLAYER Watch your player change throughout their career. Your overall ability and performance can rise or fall as seasons pass, with development influenced by your career, age, performances and player characteristics. Build towards your prime, maintain your place at the top and see how long you can make your career last. CHASE INDIVIDUAL HONOURS Great seasons can put your player in contention for individual recognition. Experience an end-of-season awards presentation and follow the competition's leading players as careers and seasons unfold. Awards and achievements are recorded as part of your career history, giving you more milestones to chase across every playthrough. EXPERIENCE FINALS FOOTBALL Help your club qualify for the finals and attempt to progress through the biggest matches of the season. Your path depends on where your club finishes and what happens throughout the finals series. Reach the biggest stage and try to finish the season as a champion. BECOME A LEADER As your career develops, new responsibilities and opportunities can emerge. Build your reputation, establish yourself within your club and pursue leadership and captaincy opportunities as your career progresses. TRACK YOUR ENTIRE CAREER Follow detailed season and career statistics as your story develops. Track performances, goals, games, achievements, awards and career milestones while comparing your accomplishments with players across the fictional football world. CHASE RECORDS Career, season and match records give you long-term targets beyond simply completing another season. Climb the rankings, challenge record holders and see where your player stands among the competition's best. MEN'S AND WOMEN'S CAREERS Create and play careers across separate men's and women's competitions, each with its own generated players, records, rankings and career history. BUILD YOUR LEGACY Eventually every career comes to an end. Look back at the seasons, statistics, achievements and defining moments that created your player's story, then start again and try to build an entirely different career. Will you become a reliable club player, an individual star, a premiership player, a record breaker or something completely different? Aussie Rules Star takes place in a fictional Australian rules football universe and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any professional sporting league or club.
