F1 Manager 2024

I discovered that there is a 2026 season mod so gave it a go this week. It a great mod (updated teams, drivers, personnel & assets to add Cadillac) but the gameplay in general is just so broken I gave up. I remember now why I stopped playing last time as the fun quickly disappears as you literally have to work around the flaws but by doing that it ruins the experience.

It's such a shame, I love the presentation but the gameplay just isn't there. I got it for free on Epic last year and played some, but the improvement from 2023 (while it is there) is just not substantial enough. Maybe if they got a few more years to improve they would have ended up with a decent iteration eventually, but I can't say I'm surprised they won't be given the chance to.

At least we'll always have Motorsport Manager.
