Cant create new team, no coop online, not buying this game

[Flawless]

So not listening to what the customers want, just adding some small crap none asked for. Where is the option to create my own team and maybe option to play against friends online. Not buying this!

Hi Flawless,

As an annual title, we're going to build on each version with new features by listening to our audience.

You may have seen that Team Switching, a highly popular request has now been confirmed for a post-launch update in September.

We'll continue to listen and to suggestions and adapt our development plans to deliver the best game that we can.

Hi Bruce, Acctually getting reply from a dev? Thats kinda nice!

But my point still stands.
We dont want a new camera angle and things like that. Give us the main features that we acctually ask for and we will buy the game yearly for updated roster, livery etc. Like the loyal community have done for FM for 20+ years, buying the game yearly.

I would advise you to listen to the community and prioritize what we acctually want in the game, then you can do your yearly small updates. Or this will most likely not be profitable and in a year or two there will be no F1 game in the market because you think there is no demand (not profitable). Sad :(

Create a team and even more so co-op were my two hopes for the sequel version. I’ll stay tuned if these ever get added to future releases.

Bruce - I think the issue is here, is that releasing an annual game is absolutely fine IF the core of that game has all of the required/expected elements. I personally buy FIFA and FM most years, I certainly wouldn't do that if I was being drip fed features on a yearly basis that should really be part of a game from a big developer in 2023. Even you addition of team switching (which is one feature that other competitor titles had from launch, amongst a raft of others) is a post-launch update, which to me just doesn't cut the mustard. I really want the F1 manager series to succeed and was really excited about last years title at launch, but I think it needs a lot more substance. If we see more of what I'd expect from an F1 management game in a single release whether its this year or next, I'll certainly buy it, but not whilst we're being drip fed post-launch updates to bolster what is essentially a roster change. Good luck with the development

Will this be added before you drop support after 2 months and fail to update the game further to remove issues and fix bugs?

You don't, other players might want to see this kind of features, that's what we call a "nuance" in french.

IMHO, a "My Team" feature could be a good idea but the development team must fix the core issues and address the main bugs before introducing this type of feature, building a software is not just: Oh, players want this, let's build it and get rid of all the bugs in one place, that would be fun.

You need to force the QA team to list bugs via the backlog, found the root cause, address it without breaking the code while respecting the limits forced by the engine, there's no "easy bug or feature to fix / introduce", like some developers used to say: Building a software is like having a baby, you know when you start the adventure, not when it's over.

Regarding the features, I don't personally see any benefits of a co-op mode, what's the goal here? Having two players in the same team but different roles? Two players for two teams? The IA can already handle this.

Improving the IA along with the overall management parts of the game is IMHO, far more important than allowing two players to compete against each other, that's the role / goal of highly competitive games, not management ones.

Appreciate your comment, however, support for F1 Manager 22 continued until March 2023 with a total of 8 updates.

We will have info on the post-launch support for F1 Manager 23, including Race Replay updates, soon!

i.e. "...minor patches that do not noticeably affect gameplay."

You know as well as the rest of us what was announced last October.

"This next update for F1 Manager 2022 will be the last significant update that addresses player-reported feedback, or suggested changes and additions.

Sorry but you live in your own world, right?
The updates in 22 where by far not significant and the new things in 23 should be updates for improvement in 22 version. NOT fully high priced new game version.
Also very much people are not very "optimistic" that the game will be much better and i saw not one video that convinced me, and maybe many others.
I personnaly don't care at this point about features, i care about AI and there was no video that shows me an improvement. What about a full race video, staying with one midfield car and unscripted and without video editing? For the last two i take your word ;)

Wth ! WE will buy it yearly for updated roster, livery etc ? What do you smoke ? YOu think it was/is fair what EA have done? Financial for them yeah, but i say FAIR for the people(gamer)? If you think so OK, than i understand you but fortunately i am not WE.
60-70€ for that. Maybe 5-10€ for DLC but not before the AI is waaayyyyyy better.

Don't be too offended, just a "nobody" opinion.

And you still failed to fix the glaring problems.

"new features" "anual game"

basicly meaning little to no changes that are potentialy not fleshed in the small timeframe you set yourself.

pls don´t even try to fool people again we know already because you have it proofen to us that you cannot deliver stuff youre implying here.

and time and other games already have proofen that you do not listen that well to the community.

Co-op is something that no other Motorsport management or even many management games have for that matter! And would be sure to increase sales personally I play more 2-player careers in the normal f1 2023 than any other game mode, and allows more depth and fun!

To be honest and I am by no way a frontier fan but master the single players model before even trying coop.
