Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Kreativmodus in WE ARE FOOTBALL 2027?
It is the game's Creative Mode: a rule sandbox where talents, injuries, condition, club finances, match behaviour and league rules become sliders, buttons and checkboxes, grouped on four tabs (Tuning Match/Spieler, Tuning Verein/Sonstiges, Aktionen, Regeln). Everything stays adjustable while the save is running, and the mode can also be switched on for an existing realistic save — but that switch is one-way.
Can you switch back from the Creative Mode to the Realistic Mode?
No. The confirmation dialog states literally that a later return to the realistischen Modus is not possible, and it advises backing up your save first. Switching also turns Steam achievements off, since achievements are tied to the Realistic Mode. If you want to keep a realistic career, save it into a separate slot before you switch.
Which rules can you customize in the Creative Mode?
Four groups. Tuning Match/Spieler covers talent likelihoods, injury frequency, condition, scoring and card frequency, home advantage and stoppage time. Tuning Verein/Sonstiges covers youth player numbers, staff salaries, sponsorship, merchandising, TV money, interest and taxes. Aktionen hands out money, action points, manager level and points deductions, and can abolish the German 50+1 rule. Regeln rewrites stoppage time, corner-to-penalty conversion, penalty shootouts, the fixture list and league bonus points.
Can you play WE ARE FOOTBALL 2027 without budgets?
Yes. The new-save setup offers separate transfer and club budgets, a single budget, or no budgets at all. With no budgets you can access the whole club fortune as one pot — the video example started Freiburg this way with 84.1 million euros available, and a Creative Mode money action then raised that pot to 184 million. With budgets set, the transfer budget caps what you may spend even when the club is richer.

The Realistic Mode plays by the rules the database hands you. The Kreativmodus — the game’s Creative Mode — hands you the rulebook instead: talents, injuries, the club economy, match behaviour and league law become sliders and buttons, adjustable at any time while the save runs. Our game modes overview shows where the mode sits among the six career starts; this page opens every panel.

How you switch it on — and why there is no way back

There are two doors. A fresh save picks the mode in the new-game wizard — that route also unlocks the budget-free setup below. An existing realistic save converts in place: gear icon, Optionen, Gameplay tab, In den Kreativmodus wechseln.

The dialog is blunt: a later return to the realistischen Modus is not possible, back up your save first — the mode activates as soon as you leave the options. All Steam achievements switch off with it.

Tuning Match/Spieler: talents, injuries and the match itself

The Spieler block carries the talent sliders — Jahrhunderttalente, Megatalente, Talente insgesamt — then position-learning speed, scouting speed and how quickly dissatisfaction fades. The second column owns injuries and condition: separate sliders for your club and the AI, in training and in matches, plus Eigene Kondition and Gegnerische Kondition.

Kreativmodus panel of WE ARE FOOTBALL 2027 on the Tuning Match/Spieler tab with the Jahrhunderttalente tooltip open, reading that the probability of once-in-a-century talents in the running game is multiplied by the set factor, beside sliders for injuries, condition, scoring frequency and home advantage

The tooltip multiplies the probability of century talents in the running game by the set factor. 1 is the neutral point — below 1 happens less often, above 1 more often. The video’s example: two 100-talent graduates per season become roughly four at factor 2. The Match block tunes the sport itself: goal and chance frequency, cards, home advantage, stoppage time, and the weight of condition, freshness and speeches. The Auswirkungen sliders amplify those effects — the presenter reads his setup as +10 for him and −8 for the AI, and flags that as his guess, not a printed number.

More talent means more graduates knocking — the youth camps guide covers what to do with them, the training plan guide counters raised injury frequency.

Tuning Verein/Sonstiges: the club economy

The second tab points the same mechanics at money. The Verein block scales how many Neue Jugendspieler arrive per season (the video doubles five into ten), youth-camp talent frequency, staff salaries for your club and the AI, fan and member growth, sponsorship and advertising money, merchandise, and construction prices. The Sonstiges block reaches further: league TV money, cup premiums, economic support, performance-based attendances, age effects on transfer fees, interest and taxes.

In the shot Zinsen für Kredite sits at 2,0x — doubled loan interest, demonstrating how one factor warps the economy. What these numbers do under normal rules is the territory of the finances and wage budget guide; the sandbox is more fun when you know what you are distorting.

Aktionen: money, points deductions and the 50+1 rule

The third tab is a god-mode switchboard.

Managerstufe sets your real manager level, and the small print matters: the arrow only stages the number, Jetzt setzen applies it. The presenter did that, then reported he could not find the new level displayed anywhere in his profiles. Around it sit the convenience actions: learning a language fluently, joining the board (Vorstandsberufung), resigning after the next matchday, claiming 25 Aktionspunkte once per season (his counter jumped from 4 to 29), preparing a flotation, resetting squad Biss and dissolving time-limited dissatisfaction.

The loud ones sit on the right. The 50+1-Regel in Deutschland gets exactly two buttons: Schluss damit. abolishes it — warned that there is no way back — Die bleibt für immer. locks it in. Punktabzug Liga makes you league judge: country, league, club, number, current or next season. The video docks Gelsenkirchen ten points; the deduction shows in the table only once the data refreshes.

The bottom row is the classic: Ausgewähltem Verein Geld geben — pick a club, dial an amount (100 Mio € in the shot), press the button. The presenter tops up his own club: 2.5 million in his founded-club save, 90 million for Dortmund here. Where that money goes next belongs to the transfer market guide; changing the football world itself is the Editor’s job — it edits the database, the Kreativmodus only bends the running save.

Regeln: league law you can rewrite

Regeln tab of the Kreativmodus panel with Netto-Spielzeit ticked so the clock stops at interruptions, the X Ecken 1 Elfer converter set to three corners, the ABBA penalty shootout option and the three league bonus-point checkboxes with a goal-difference stepper

Netto-Spielzeit stops the clock at every interruption and never adds stoppage time — active in the shot, valid from the next matchday, overriding stoppage-time changes. X Ecken 1 Elfer converts every Xth corner into a penalty: three in the shot, ten in the demo. ABBA-Elfmeterschießen reorders shootouts so the starting team’s psychological edge fades. The Saison block offers back-to-back home-and-away fixtures and self-picked cup opponents. The Tabelle block adds up to three kinds of league bonus points — won shootouts after draws, won head-to-head sums, high wins with a set goal difference — all effective next season. His verdict on the combo: pure Brisanz.

Ohne Budgets: the no-budget setup

Can you play with no budgets at all? Yes — no Creative Mode needed. The new-game setup, next to the difficulty, offers separate transfer and club budgets, one shared budget, or none.

Without budgets, the season-target talk states you may access the entire club fortune — 84.1 million euros for the video’s Freiburg — and the hub shows one budget line, equal to the bank balance. That 184 million in the shot is the video’s punchline: 84.1 million of fortune plus a 100 million money action — no transfer cap stands in the way of spending all of it. With budgets, the same fortune might still come with a 100 million transfer budget and a wall behind it. Managing either variant lives in the finances and wage budget guide.

Kreativmodus, Realistischer Modus or a founded club?

The honest split: achievements, records and national-team tournaments belong to the Realistischer Modus alone — the game prints that on the two mode cards, and the official manual (Steam store page, p. 17) draws the same line between database rules and self-made rules. The Kreativmodus is for experiments: dream leagues with a hundred century talents, a league without the 50+1 rule, no-budget challenges. If your fantasy outgrows that, Vereinsgründung builds a club that never existed — covered with the career starting points.

The Creative Mode is not a difficulty setting: challenge lives on its own screen, picked apart in the difficulty settings guide. Set the difficulty honestly, then break the rules with a clear conscience.
