MUFC 1,497 Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 Am getting it on PC, most likely it be easier to control things. Plus I have an expensive gaming laptop for 2 years. Only game I've ever played on it is Motorsport Manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy 12,608 Posted June 13, 2022 Moderator Share Posted June 13, 2022 Graphics look amazing for a Management game. Although, Manager games are usually not about graphics for me. But it looks good all in all. Very complex and rich in detail. Bit of a pain in the arse to get into if you have other stuff going on.

MUFC 1,497 Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 Been reading up on it. There is one aspect of the game which I'm not too keen on on. Once you join a team, you can't move to other teams. You're stuck with that team which is a bummer. Maybe a DLC will come later on which amends this.

But I'm watching Jimmy Broadbent, who got early access, playing it on Youtube right now. Looks very in-depth. Like A LOT of work. I hope I'll have enough time to get into it. Doesn't look like something you can play for just a few minutes per day. Looks really good though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,644 Posted August 24, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted August 24, 2022 I've pre ordered it for PS4. I can see myself struggling to get into it fully though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,644 Posted August 25, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted August 25, 2022 Had a little play this afternoon. Sadly my first career race crashed when a VSC came out in the middle of a replay. The positives are that the detail looks great and the graphics both on-track and off-track are impressive. I'm looking forward to digging more into the depth of things. The tutorials are useful as well I've found, not too intrusive. Have to say though that the actual race experience is kinda lame at the moment. The cars behave really strangely and the amount of overtaking and re-overtaking and DRS trains don't really reflect what racing is like in F1 and makes it pretty hard to make sense of what you should be getting your drivers to do. Add to that the game crash that I had about 1/3rd of the way through the Bahrain GP and it's a mixed review from me in terms of first impressions. Hopefully they'll get this sorted with further updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber JoshBRFC+ 1,388 Posted August 25, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted August 25, 2022 Going to have to give this a go, but not buying it yet. Sounds like it will be a yearly thing now then for a few years at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy 12,608 Posted August 27, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 27, 2022 Just did my first race with Haas. I like the game, and everything they try to do to make it as immersive as possible. But the race experience was still a little frustrating. Somehow I couldn't figure out how to call the drivers in for pit-stops immediately, for example when there was a Safety Car. And as a result, Mick's tyres blew up, and K-Mag dropped from 6th to 15th towards the end of the race. Guess I still got some figuring out to do.

Moderator Tommy 12,608 Posted August 28, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 28, 2022 Okay, I'm gonna restart a career save with the things I've learned from the first two races. I fucked up the strategy so bad, that both of my drivers fell down the grid order in the last few laps. On a more positive note, with that, my training as a Ferrari engineer is now complete.

Moderator Tommy 12,608 Posted August 31, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 31, 2022 Three races in with Williams, and my biggest success so far is Alex Albon finishing P17 ahead of the Aston Martins and Latifi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you finding the racing "credible"? First race did my head in they both kept passing and repassing each other and I couldn't stop them from doing it. I thought it was costing them both time but then like I said I flicked through the rest of the field and they were all at it. I haven't had a second go at it yet so I was just wondering if that was my bad luck or whether there's a lot of that DRS and counter DRS going on.

Well, credible until they sort of queue up into turn 1 at some tracks. That looks silly. Never had the problem of Albon and Latifi repassing each other though, as Albon is usually a lot of miles ahead of Latifi for me. Just replaced Latifi with Piastri though, by accident. I renewed Albon's contract as Car #1 driver. I thought it's for next season, but he replaced Latifi immediately, so I had an empty spot on Car #2 and hired Piastri. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,644 Posted August 31, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted August 31, 2022 Cool, I'll probably give it another go tomorrow. Starting with Williams is definitely a sadistic approach . Going through the car performance analysis and being 17th or 19th fastest car in every department. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
