Sports Agent Empire — a sports management game
Your hometown. Your clients. Your empire. A sports management game played from the agent's side of the table: sign stars across basketball, football, baseball and hockey, negotiate under real salary-cap rules, and retire to a full interactive career review before your score posts itself to the monthly global leaderboard. Pay once. Twenty seasons. Zero microtransactions.
Watch the trailer
Forty seconds of real gameplay, captured in-engine. No mockups, no bullshots.
Actual in-game footage, contracts, Corner Office, rivals and the Retirement Package.
Built from real gameplay
Every card below frames an actual in-game screen, no mockups, no bullshots.
Run the people who play
Sign
Draft classes declare every season across four leagues. Every pitch costs cash and shows its odds, spend like an agent who plans on being here in year twenty.
Negotiate
Real cap mechanics, team patience meters, holdouts, franchise tags and performance clauses. Beat the market and your reputation moves. Get greedy and the GM stops returning calls.
Build
Commission buys office upgrades, lifestyle tiers and recruiting reach. Five agent stats shape the agent you become, and the codename you retire with.
The leaderboard is the endgame
Every career ends the same way: the Retirement Package, an interactive review of your whole run, and then your Power Score posts itself to a global monthly board shared across Steam and mobile. No account, no sign-up, your score is yours the moment the run ends.
Retire in review
Career stat tiles, earnable honors, a season-by-season timeline of every signing, scandal and title, and charts of your best and worst clients. Twenty seasons deserve a proper send-off.
Own the month
One board per difficulty bracket, resetting monthly. Only your single best run counts, so bad experiments never hurt you and great ones live on as your personal record. The top agency takes the crown.
Honors to chase
Dynasty Builder, Century Club, Star Whisperer, Full Ride. Career Honors preview the Steam achievement set arriving at the Steam launch, and give every run a collection to complete.

From the developer
I remember being on my og Xbox in the aughts, my ma telling me to get up and finally pack for yet another move. The problem? I was stuck building a Gators dynasty in EA College Football 2003.
A decade later, I'd lost count of the NHL and FIFA dynasties, the Orlando Magic rebuilds I'd completed in 2K. More Gators, but this time in the incredible NCAA Basketball series. Over and over, menu after interminable, endless menu.
A couple more decades and some work experience later, I was steering my PlaydotBasketball-gmdotcom Orlando Magic dynasty to greater achievements than the Chicago Bulls, a browser game on my laptop, classic Trek on the small TV in the back.
I have a life. I have love. I've also been playing games like this all my life. I hope you give it a shot, compete to be the best.
Thank you, sports game devs, especially everyone who ever worked on Franchise mode.
Questions, answered
What is the best sport manager game?
The best sport manager games put you behind the desk, not on the field: budgets, contracts, egos, and wins earned in spreadsheets as much as on the scoreboard. Homegrown does two things the category doesn't: it plays from the agent's side of the table — you run the agency, not the team — and its negotiations run on real salary-cap rules, so a max deal actually means something. And unlike most of the genre, you can try it this second: the free demo runs in your browser, no download.
