Think the new 3 levels are Actually a good thing. All to often in the real CM forum I came across posts where people would adjust the ai difficulty so they could win. Which totally defeated the object off the mode. This way more casual gamers can getting a better on track experience by picking a higher car performance rating in my team and battling the ai at a more appropriate skill level.As I only play My Team I hope what has been said by the devs isn’t just fluff and there is much better depth to the progression. It’s My Teams 3rd outing so I would hope it’s more polished by now. ESP when manager is launched so soon after

So, ive tried this out on 22 and its a nice addition in all honesty. Gives players the chance to fight for the title in the first year should they so want to, they also have extra budget available to hire a established F1 driver at the first round of negotiations, which is nice. For some players, they may not want to wait to get a well-known name. Even for me, I'm planning to snap Ricciardo up as soon as possible in my MyTeam save this go around

@BarryBL Yes, please. You could start right now, posting pics of your HQ and your livery as an appetizer 🧐

I've been around a little too long to fall for that one @mariohomoh . Nice try though :P

This is something I'm looking forward to as im a bit tired of starting from the back all the time.I have a few wonders about it though. Like is it solely that you have different car performance levels? Does it mean your facilities start higher? Do you start with more funds as well? If theres more funds can we hire an icon driver (or hopefully other former drivers added to the free roster) right from the start or are we still forced to start with an F2 driver? Hoping theres options for all of this. I'm half mentally preparing myself to bring Brawn GP back again at the front of the grid with Button as teammate from the start.

"First round of negotiations" could mean any sort of timeframe. :P I'll be honest, ive just started the save as I've got others things that take precedent game-wise at the moment. Also, can't confirm or deny anything as is well-known 🙂

@Liaveal I’m guessing the higher up the performance rankings you start will determine your facilities. I imagine like top teams in career mode you will start with spec 2 facilities. Higher team acclaim and more sponsors.

with sponsors it’ll probably be once you get through setup phase and interview if it’s still a thing. When you go to the sponsors tab. There will be 2-3 unlocked slots where you will go and choose sponsors as before.

@ScarDuck14 I can see it happening exactly as you said and its pretty much the best way to do it IMO..

However i hope they didnt do this for the real teams too😂 so McLaren top 4 team last year but this year depending on the track only 7th best car.. Some developers might think: "Ok they are 7th best now so they can only have one lvl 2 facility and the rest is lvl 1"... That would be horrible😂

Ah, thats a shame that we still have to renegotiate half way through a season and then again at the end. Would have like proper contracts, eg/ 1-2 years.
guess it is what it is.
