#MOTORSPORT MANAGER REVIEW DRIVER#A management game needs to depict its subjects changing and evolving, and the championship this game is clearly inspired by would currently never allow such a broad license.įor some reason, while Real Madrid sponsors wouldn't scoff at Football Manager allowing players to put Cristiano Ronaldo in Barcelona if they so desired, the idea of intra-team transfers in F1 virtual entertainment is clearly too much for the sport to handle.īut if it at all helps, the team and driver make-up of the game is clearly reminiscent of F1 – and should Motorsport Manager come up with an editor feature like the one its football counterpart has, you'll be able to fill the grid with whoever you want. Of course, there is genuinely nothing Playsport or SEGA or anyone else can currently do about that. Motorsport Manager is at an obvious disadvantage against certain other sports games and even other racing games because it is not attached to a real-life championship. It borders on being too much work to maximise your odds and understanding of the conditions for a given weekend – but at the same time, it's not at all impossible to enjoy the process and get good results without making a monumental effort. #MOTORSPORT MANAGER REVIEW FULL#The racing is also somewhat overcomplicated by the fact the game doesn't really provide lap-by-lap data on all the various things you have to monitor, meaning that you will have to eyeball tyre wear and fuel consumption deltas – and often do complete guesswork in terms of tyre compound behaviour, because unless you do practice with a pen and paper and full 100 percent undivided attention on one car, you won't have a clear picture. It's a standard format and a standard length, but the game also tasks you with managing the warm-up lap hands-on, by modulating the speed of your driver to get temperature into brakes and tyres. Qualifying, on the other hand, is a bit strange. But that doesn't mean it's not entertaining – with two cars and a methodical approach, you're guaranteed to get it right enough, and seeing the drivers' assessment of the set-up turn from negative to positive is very rewarding. #MOTORSPORT MANAGER REVIEW DRIVERS#And even when the drivers venture out for an exploratory run with their (usually terrible) first set-up, their feedback can be a little obtuse – on-track, they give random radio messages about set-up direction that are occasionally completely wrong, while back in the pits the only offer an evaluation of set-up quality, not so much direction. For each weekend, the set-up guidelines you are given are very broad. There is a fair bit to get to grips with, and the tutorial could probably serve to be a standalone mode spanning several races and walking the player through every major scenario in detail, rather than just being built into the main mode of the game.īut the time limitations make working out the set-up a genuinely fun experience. ![]() Is it accessible? Well, to be truthful, even for gamers familiar with a genre, Motorsport Manager could feel a little daunting at first. Bear this in mind though - Football Manager took years and years to get its game engine to a presentable level, and Motorsport Manager already looks better. And the cars all look way too stable in how they get around the circuit, as if they were slot cars that have developed a supernatural ability to completely miss the apex. ![]() The circuits, obviously inspired by some famous real-life counterparts, are very distinctive, and the whole picture is unusually high-detail by genre standards.īecause of the overhead view, the racing does lack a real sense of speed, even when you manually speed it up. On-track, likewise, it looks pretty great. ![]()
