![]() Beyond that I think both of us have agreed that it’s the players game to some degree so the decisions the player makes really should take over. “From both their side and our side the goal has been to really authentically replicate the 2022 season as closely as possible. A special shoutout to the motorsport team who have given us loads of amazing feedback on some of the more technical elements. “Our partners at Formula 1 have been so excited about this game as we have and they’ve been so great to work with. “One of our pillars is authenticity,” game director Andy Fletcher told The Race. That’s a stark contrast to the older, licensed F1 manager games which could be better described, whether it was by design or not, with the term absurd.įrom the TV broadcast emulating style during the races to the level of detail when it comes to the engineering side of the sport, there has been a concerted effort by Frontier and Formula 1 to make F1 Manager 2022 a faithful experience. One word that was used throughout the presentation was authenticity. That system of having regens make up the numbers is a system that’s long been employed in the Football Manager series along with other sports games. So after a while you will only have current F2 and F3 drivers racing in F1, with the roster bolstered by fictional drivers who replace those who retire. Unlike in EA and Codemasters’ F1 2021, there’s no limit to the number of seasons in a career. This will allow the Formula 2 and Formula 3 personnel, as both feeder series are also in the game, to move up and into Formula 1. The inclusion of team radios makes races in the early stages of a career mode more true to a real-life TV broadcast while, conversely, exemplifying just how far from reality the F1 world will inevitably become once personnel start moving teams.Īlongside two race drivers, a reserve driver and two race engineers, players will also have to hire a technical chief, a head of aerodynamics, and manage an engineering team, a scouting team and pit crew.Īs seasons progress the drivers and other staff members will change ratings and eventually retire. With drivers and engineers both able to move teams, it is theoretically possible you could hear Pete Bonnington talking over the radio to Max Verstappen while both compete for Alfa Romeo – as just one of many potential examples. So you’ll hear race engineers tell drivers about on-track events such as DRS becoming active and they’ll audibly relay your commands to them – such as to conserve their tyres or use more ERS to make an overtake. Team radio chatter has also been integrated by using archive audio from previous F1 races. If there’s a noteworthy event happening to a driver you’re not currently watching, since you can view any driver at any point instead of just your own, the game will even offer you the chance to view a replay of that driver spinning, crashing, or whatever it happens to be. ![]() The camera angles used when viewing the races are also based on real-life TV camera placements both for trackside and onboard viewpoints. That is achieved by lines of commentary as well as analysis before and after a race from David Croft and Karun Chandhok. One of the few details that has been stressed by Frontier is a broadcast-quality presentation during the races. Since it’s been over 20 years since EA Sports released the last officially licensed, fully fledged F1 manager game, there’s understandably a lot of intrigue as to what F1 Manager 2022 will be like to play.
