Well after watching the deep dive, it seems like most of the new features revolve around contract objective, goals, and accolades, that when completed make you, as a driver, more attractive to teams, or motivate your team to work harder on upgrading the car (ex. bonus R&D points). In short, a lot of this wouldn't carry over to MyTeam. They also went out of their way to specifically say Driver Career Mode like 50 times without ever saying MyTeam.
Also and interesting tidbit I noticed that a lot of others might have missed as it was only on the screen for a moment, but I don't believe you get to spend your teammates R&D points anymore. There was a screenshot of the R&D tree with a part failure and underneath it said MAG failed, which I assume means AI Mangussen had tried to upgrade it without consulting the player.
@Cpayne32 That's an interesting thought, I hope so, otherwise they might do something silly like take forever to restart it and just dead end a segment of the R&D tree.
I think a co-op my team is quite a big opportunity missed, two extra teams on the grid battling each other.
Seems like an easy win to me.
The problem is they don't really seem to listen to any feedback, I remember this has been requested since a long time ago, that 2 player co-op is not enough because lots of ppl also have a group of 3 or 4 people and want to play together, and its literally the easiest thing to implement, theres absolutely nothing they lose from it.

Very interesting! The question is, what does this mean exactly. In some of the scenes I got the feeling, that I can make upgrades on my own without my teammate. If everyone spends his own r&d points, don't we have two different cars after a while? I can't image that, because this would be extremely unrealistic. What do you think, how this function works? I mean there must be difference to the older games, otherwise they would not change way how to spend the ressource points
