Feedback: My Driver in Team Career mode is a must
I’m new to F1 sim racing and I’ve been playing for about 2 weeks. My favorite mode so far is team career, but not being able to create my own driver (or even 2 drivers) just drives me mad.
I want to feel a real attachment to the driver. The game doesn’t give this feeling in this mode. Instead, I feel like I’m forced to choose among 4-6 drivers from F2 that I don’t even know, and then you even choose which one you want to drive in a race. It feels like being between a sim racing game and a management game.
In all sports games, whether it’s football, hockey, basketball, etc., there’s always a career mode where you can create your own player, put him in a team, and develop him at the same time as you manage the team’s progress. I don’t see any good reason why it shouldn’t be the same for F1.
An amazing system exists in FIFA games (I know it’s FC now, who cares): after reaching retirement in a player’s career, you can start your manager career as this player.
What if we had a similar system in F1 when we could create a driver in Driver Career mode (let’s say in F2 or even F3), progress him to a certain experience level, and then he would appear in the driver market in the Team Career mode. I think it would feel really attached and personal as it’s actually you making progress and not some Fittipaldi, Cordell, or whoever else.
