What The Old F1 Manager Games Got Right

- With Frontier Developments' F1 Manager 2022 just a few days away, here is a retrospective at the older, officially licensed F1 manager games.
All of them were released over 20 years ago and in many ways they've aged quite badly, but there's also a lot they did well and features they've implemented that we've yet to see in an F1 game since. Everything from spying on other teams, to additional manufacturers to the banning and legalising of driver aids. In this video I go over what the Grand Prix Manager series, Grand Prix World and EA Sports' F1 Manager did so well.

Licensed or not the only recent game to compare this to is Motorsport Manager.
In terms of presentation F1 Manager 2022 looks amazing. There are just a few things that concern me:
* Not being able to transfer from one team to the next.
* Driver negotiations happening instantly rather than over a number of days
* Not being about to manage teams in the lower tiers
* Having to restart a brand new game after being fired
I think there is a feature where A. You start a whole new career B. Get set back 5 races to do better or C. Redo the season
One thing that I would like to see is to see some team change their livery for sponsor reason. Another point is to see some unpredictable issues, such as stalled to the formation la/start of the race. And final point is the possibility that a driver can stay out for a period after a hard crash, like GPM2
That last point will make reserve drivers more usefull as well.
Can't probably do that first one for licensing reasons
@@Rakettivuori I mean, it could work if they’d ask the teams to design some livery’s
Cant wait for your video's mate ! Was alot of fun with the EA and GPworld vids !
would be cool all of the above and have your own team to run (as it'll prove that a 26 car grid is needed) -> would be cool to see how an academy system would work in it as well
Say what you will about EA's version, I loved that you could choose the sponsors for the car and they actually appeared on the 3D engine. And it's something I'd like to see added for 2023.
I’m so excited for F1 Manager 2022 I loved in the regulation changes you get in, I enjoy the transfers in those games and the teams in Grand Prix Manager 2 going bankrupt and new teams going in was interesting. What’s your plan for F1 Manager 2022 Career Mode?
I'm honestly not sure at the moment, but I probably won't do a normal career mode playthrough series. That's partly because every other CZcamsr will be doing that and partly because the number of videos you would have to make to get a few seasons in would be huge. So probably more like season summaries from a career mode rather than one race per video.
@@PSLRacing Oh Okay that’s fine
@@PSLRacing I am more interested in f1 manger more then f1 22
It would be great to see you have a go at F1 Manager Pro from 97. It's UI is horribly dated, and the game is quite complicated, it and GPM2 still stand out as the best F1 Management games of all time (Team F1/Pole Position is close up there). F1 Man 2022 just looks a bit shallow and arcadey to me. I think the official F1 license is holding the game back, amongst other things, but I suppose without it they wouldn't make enough money for such a game to be worth it.
What Motorsport Manager did not achieve is unpredictable team progress, because that game always seems to have steady progress forward with inevitably having the title winning car. EA's F1 Manager is literally just "easy win on year 3" sort. Grand Prix World though can randomly screw a player over but that doesn't seem to happen too often. Grand Prix Manager 2 nailed it.
Can't wait for your manager career. Massive fan of your channel
I am still a bit skeptical towards F1 Manager 22. Main concern I have is sponsor negotiations and how/if pay drivers work🤔
Nop, nothing of it on the game, it's just a championship manager with FIFA footage, not Football Manager level.
Having watched this video, it makes you wonder how different the licencing agreements and terms were with the FOM during the Bernie/Max Moseley-era compared to now with Liberty Media.
When things like teams dinamically change sponsors and engine suppliers, nowadays, we're lucky, if driver transfers are allowed.
And I agree, from a licencing standpoint, Motorsport Manager is still one of the best games in this genre.
There was another little F1 Manager Game from the early 90s with the Datas from the 91 Season, but withous MSC. It was a game looked a bit like an Excel Program. But I liked it very much to play. You can hire Drivers and Mechanics, Engine, Chassis etc. It was from Wizard company I think. And there was another Version with the 94 Datas as well, with MSC but without Senna.
I played a lot of Grand prix world and I mean a lot and i really loved that game, but once you reached the "endgame" that's it you were there and losing if you played normally was impossible.
Now I get it when you have the most money the best drivers and the best team you should be winning but I really wonder how the new game Will address this. All in all i'm super excited for the game and your series!
I've been watching your F1 manger 2000 videos while I wait for F1 manger 2022 to come out
You missed F1 Manager Professional (1997) by Software 2000. This game was the most deep and complex F1 Manager game ever.
My personal all time favorite F1 game ever.
THE BEST!
It's so hard man (for me)
@@tun04 i played world and being very hard, i dont want imagine that gane 💀
Low balling, eh? None of those were even remotely close to Software 2000's F1 Manager (or Pro). Second best, is probably Ascaron's F1Team, and third is Pole Position. Never been a fan of Microprose's garbage and EA stuff is so buggy that I could get it to work only once in a blue moon. Special shout out to Sinclair's version of F1 manager from 1985, as rudimentary and crude it might have been- it's what got me into the management gaming to begin with.
Software 2000 F1 Manager Professional is excellent. I am interested in the other two games you mention. I have found Ascaron's Team F1 only but the only management game called Pole Position I can find is it being another name for Ascaron's Team F1
@@floscan i may be having a "candle cove" moment. i can vividly see the game, and it's not the same as Ascaron's although it came out around the same time. It was a bit of disappointment, since F1 manager was in every way superior, so I've played it for about a month and switched to Software 2000. I think, it came out in 1997, the graphics were 3D, but glitchy as they were still in their infancy. Anyway, sorry to be of little help, but if you are into this genre, checkout Amiga's Formula 1 Masters.
@@dmitriybozhanov2636 thanks for the information. Hopefully I will give the Ascaron game a go this weekend.
Its a pretty low bar for F1 Manager 2022 to beat. Yet it doesn't beat it in many ways....sad
For its time EA F1 Manager was pretty decent!
an this "physics" from the F1-2021 and EA F1-Manager are pretty the same XD
TBH - there were Two f1 games (at least in Germany) which have been even better Ascarons "Pole Position (sorry I don´t know if ist was soled internationally) and Software 2000 presentet "F1 Manager 96 (again I don´t know IF and under what name it has been sold outside of Germany)
Came here after playing f1 manager 22. I played a lot of grand prix world in the past and I adore it.
In comparison, f1 manager 22 feels more like micro-management at the track side while grand prix world is more like a factory based management.
In terms of graphics and illustration of the race itself, new game smashed it out of the park. But Grand Prix world still holds a place in my heart for how unique of an experience it was
They started banning anyone from the sub reddit who questions any aspect of the game
Will you do a series on f1 manager 22 if you do will you do a road to glory or a return to glory
If F1 manager 22 quality is very close to grandprix world I,ll be very happy
Shoutout when i showed u a picture of Ligier with Bennetton sportsystems in real life and appeared in a video lol
Good times
can players change teams in f1 manager 2022?
THE BEST F1 MANAGER ON THE INTERWEB IS BACKKKK
I never left
I also hope for variability across seasons. For example, Alonso joining McLaren just when they produce the worse car on the grid happened in reality.
11:19 haha just seen that video :D
How can u play this game in 2022, i mean seems a good old retro game, someone know how to download? I don't think u can buy it anymore
F1 Manager 2022 is not that good simulator, just a good looking game, is like a football Manager with FIFA graphics bud dumbed down managerial activities, you're just a passenger MM was more challenging, and copying the worst of MM (setup minigame) doesn't help.
there 2 lasts years there has been dozen of f1 manager simulation on steam, most of them are garbage, but microprose are still doing good stuff like back in the days.
Im incredibly dissappointed by the lack of multiplayer.. This has been on the top of the community wishlist for years
nice
F1 Manager from EA is one of the worst game in this genre. Stupid and buggy. Nothing to compare with GPM, F1ManPro, GPW, TeamF1.
