Any Roadmap?

[RBLZ Lexi]

Bought this game early this year cause i was impressed by the patches and communication of the 2023 version. And now i see and hear nothing for 2024 so far. Juast a hotfix and thats it til here ..... wtf happend to the social managers? Are they gone?

Is there any roadmap or else?

Damn some 10 dev studios got better communication with the fans than these guys here give us this year :-(

[snickii]

roadmap for what, they dont add something, maybe they bring 2-3 more hotfix and thats it

[udtojan95]

There is no roadmap. There will be 3 or 4 patches and thats it.
Its also not fix yet that we will ahve F1 Manager 2025 because Frontier has only a contract for 3 years. And this manager is the 3rd year. So if they not renew the contract with F1 this will be the last F1 Manager game.

That has been my theory as well.
This is their last attempt at squeezing the last money out of this F1 license, hence the lower prize.
From what i understand, their F1 license is until 2025, subject to meeting financial performance thresholds.
Unless they actually manage(d) to meet those financial performance thresholds, i doubt we will see a 25 season, if that's the case, they are unlikely to keep or extend the F1 license.

I hope i am wrong, cause i actually like these games, but i think they will be focusing on their own IP's from now on.

We can only hope that Frontier lose the licence and a better dev takes the reigns. After my experience with Elite and now this, Frontier are incapable of delivering a good quality game that respects fans time and money.

It's a shame, really. Elite was a masterpiece and they ran it into the ground when they caved and did a half-assed job with space legs.

It's the same thing here. There's the makings of a great game under all of this. I had a lot of fun with 23 after they ironed a bunch of stuff out, and I probably will this one, but there's so much initial jank that shouldn't be here and it just massively detracts from the entire thing.

Honestly I'd like them to take what they have built so far and release a race management game without the F1 license. That Motorsport Manager PC sequel that we never got, multiple championships and full team customization.

But yeah as for F1M24, we're likely just going to see a couple more hotfix patches and some race scenarios as the season goes on.

They dropped nearly all of there dev team after 23. If you are an indie game developer FOR THE LOVE OF SENNA make Motorsport Manager. There is money to be made.

[bshock]

We will be lucky to get one more hot fix, let alone any sort of roadmap. They just fired a bunch of their devs.

Not many if any anymore. Feels like good management games are gone for a reason :/

Manager games are Low selling games. You dont sell those in the Millions. Even Motorsport Manager, without the Licence didnt get a second Title because the devs said: " We can earn more money with less Work on Mobile" and since made 2 MM titles on Mobile.

Now, F1 is an Expensive License and Manager Games dont sell in big numbers. There is another manager game in the Works, but, early stage Early acces and way worse looking then this.

Open Wheel Manager 2.

If only MicroProse would have the budget again, and an F1 license..
I would be curious to see if they could relive the old days of Grand Prix Manager & Grand Prix Manager 2 (and not to forget Grand Prix 2).
I still have my boxed versions of these games, till this day i feel no F1 manager game has succeeded at getting to that level, although Motorsport Manager got close IMHO. (Or maybe it's just my nostalgia talking).

Just forget the license, just add an in game editor. People will make those Mods. What counts is the look and feel, the mechanics. As long as those are right, the people will make datasets with original names, logos and graphics.

I feel that FOM should give Frontier way more freedom to operate. Right now Frontier probably gets squeezed due to an overly expensive license. If FOM wants to please the F1 audience by having Interactive F1 games they should facilitate this more and allow frontier to make and run the game to a more financially sustainable future.

Come on FOM, you have nothing like this now and F1M isn't going to break or make your bank directly. Indirectly it does widen the value of F1 to the audience. Also, I would think that there are no software developers lined up to take over this license.
