Forget fom and license restrictions

Recommended Posts

Codemasters made a combined F1 racing/management game before, and it was pretty dull.
Are you referring to that F1 Online thing they made a while back? I kind of enjoyed it a bit, it's a shame they got rid of it lol. :p

This is still a game of racing, not about becoming embroiled in team management. Let's not make this into a third-party shooter game. All the activity in this game should revolve around racing and the only relationship between the driver and the team principal (like my girl Claire Williams) should be a good viewing or talk up.

I believe the game should immerse you into the life of formula one. The most exciting part of fifa is been the manager and bringing your team to the top of the table, why not have that in f1.

I'm pretty sure there's a game where you can be a boss for an f1 team but it doesn't have licensing and won't come out on PC till september.

Because really, as an F1 boss there's not an awful lot to do on a week-to-week basis that would be much fun in a game. Once a year you might need to attract one or at most two (and quite possibly zero) new drivers, and once a year you need to oversee a new car design that's very tightly regulated by the governing bodies anyway, so you're not going to be coming up with any radical new ideas.

As decisions that might affect each race go, that's really about it.

It should go because not only does it effect the game but it got my old channel taken down cause I made 1 montage. also how broken it is because I got the clips form other videos and those videos are still up yo this day

You can't just say screw the FOM when they are the ones that are quite literally putting food on the table for your companies employees, as much as I'd like the idea it won't be happening in the near future :)

I'd prefer CM find ways of making the driving more immersive and focus all their efforts on the actual racing. Expanding the game in the future to see classic content and junior categories being added. Let's first have a year in which we feel CM have really nailed the racing itself, the career mode, online, penalty system, etc.

Once the wishlist for those modes have run pretty thin then, and only then should CM ever considder adding more team management type gameplay. But even then you can't ignore FOM/License requirements, without them there is no game to be released.

I understand the licensing thing but if they could get theem on board i think a team management or engineer mode would be good i mean like strategys team orders and pit stops working off data and having the ability to race aswell i think nascar done it years ago total team control

I rather have the opportunity to be the race director in league/online racing events and hand out penalties.

It would be interesting but not at the expense of the license imo.
As far as i know they can keep the license and do it the license covers sponsors tracks drivers cars thats all they can implement whatever around that.

I'd like it, yes. As long as we can poach drivers from GP2/GP3 and drive as ourselves as well. I know a team has 2 drivers so why not you drive (Option) and have another driver. 

As there's GP2/GP3, you could have a young driver program and create a team in either or all of those. Maybe start in GP3 then sell and/or create a team for GP2 and go up the ladder.
