That's what I pay drivers and engineers for. If I play a manager game, I do not want to make the setup for every driver. I also thought most games didn't get right what a managing game is about. Many games of that era (the Microprose games, the EA games, also the German Pole Position) had those horrible pre-rendered racing scenes, where usually within a split second you knew 'Oh my god, that's the 'engine blown'-sequence'. I remember how frustrated I got when I failed to finish a single race in the first season (I don't even remember which of the three games it was). Such a shame that they weren't as good as their racing sims.

It could very well be the game us F1 geeks have being crying out for.Įdited by rosscamero, 30 November 2014 - 15:11.Īctually I always found the Microprose games (GPM, GPM 2, GPW) so flawed, that I never took them up once I lost interest the first time. With a bit of investment into the current template, it should not cost and arm and a leg to make now that some has found the way to make these games and easy on the eye.

Hire who ever makes motor sport manager and use that template to make an official game. F1 has constantly shot itself in the foot regarding it's attempts to reach the new generation with social media, apps and the like. It is a scaled down, basic version of the PC game and imo opinion a better one for the casual fan as the PC game literally takes days to complete one season. A few tweaks here and there (the official drivers and the ability to poach other drivers/staff from other teams and a pool of GP2/3 drivers to add to your young driver proggrame) and you have the basic template for a very good official game that could be released as an app.įootball Manager has a app priced at 7.99 that comes out each year. I've played a few motor sport managerial sims on the tablet and pc over the years and this one is by far the best. I have long been hoping that we will get an official update to the much loved GPM2 but have came to the conclusion that the cost of making a Football Manager type official F1 game and the demand for it don't match up. It is a lot of fun and the presentation is excellent.
