F1 Manager 2022: Tough start on Steam – too casual despite F1 license?
The official manager game for Formula 1 is now available. On Steam, the launch doesn’t quite go according to plan. A number of players are dissatisfied with Frontier’s title.
In addition to the official racing game EA Sports F1 22, in which you have to get behind the wheel yourself, there will also be a suitable F1 manager game. Developer Frontier already had experience in management games with Zoo Tycoon and Rollercoaster Tycoon. In the meantime, F1 Manager 2022 has started. according to the Reviews on Steam however, it is more of a rollercoaster ride than a competitor to other motorsport managers.
What do hobby team bosses like and dislike about F1 Manager 2022?
Again and again, the players complain about the scope. Some players are annoyed that you can’t create your own F1 team. This may have something to do with licensing regulations, since EA Sports F1 22 has the My Team mode, in which you can set up your own F1 team and take on rudimentary management tasks. Conversely, it is not possible to take over the management of any of the real existing F1 teams. Only the F1 Manager 2022 is used for this. In general, some players lack the depth. For example, you cannot take over the management of a Formula 2 team, even though the drivers in the junior class are licensed. There is no simulator, wind tunnel, test track or building. So the presentation looks quite sober. In addition, the management part is too undemanding for some players.
This is how the F1 Manager 2022 is coming only with an approval of 65 percent. For some gamers, the degree between realism and casual is sufficient. Unfortunately, there is no option to adjust the difficulty level. Anyone who has already played Motorsport Manager will find many of its features in F1 Manager 22. For example, the setup of the F1 racing cars, the development of parts and the management of the race weekend is very similar to the game from Playsport Games. If you want, you can also view and manage a full-length race. However, Frontier should still take care of some bugs and has yet to gain experience with motorsports. F1 Manager 22 is available for PC, PS4, Playstation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. At least there is 25,000+ concurrent players on Steamputting F1 Manager on par with EA Sports F1 22.
