Re: [Tips] The method of controlling Driver Market in MyTeam

So I've made a post on F1 2020's forum long ago about the method of controlling the Driver Market: https://forums.codemasters.com/topic/77051-ive-found-the-method-to-control-ai-drivers-to-sign-with-specific-team-to-certain-extend/ 

I've been hearing a lot of players mentioned the driver transfer was quite a bit more chaotic compare to F1 2020 since 2021, but I myself have pretty much skipped 2021 and have yet to get far enough in 22 for more testing. So I figured to repost this here, to see if it could help players who wanted to prevent undesirable driver transfer (or getting drivers to move to team you wanted them to be), also as a method to collect a bit more samples to see if it still works as well as before. 

Make sure you always backup your save files before making any progression within the game calendar, many actions are irreversible and are quite easy to miss because the game doesn't warn you. 

I'll try to share my own results when I've gotten far enough into the game. 


Or they could just go the route of literally every other sports title they publish and give us the ability to edit driver ratings and control other teams and "rosters" within the career mode.   That would be the logical thing to do because their system right now is a complete mess that basically ruins any career mode with driver transfers on after one season.  It's just pointless to even play the mode with transfers on if you like any sort of realism or logic.

    @petro1319Well, which is why I had this as a temporary workaround solution for what we have.

    In truth, we've been asking for a more sandbox approach for the career/myteam mode since 2020 but they've not done anything as of yet, so I don't think it's realistic to think that they'll do anything drastic with the current system until the game actually moves to next gen.

    Oh no; I remember this post.  It's helpful, but the fact this is what we have to go through yet again to get something that resembles reality in a 10 season career mode is crazy to me.   But... hey, I can buy some furniture!!!!
