Your thoughts and wishes on Konnersport Racing Team?

Well, to be honest, I was surprised by that kind of teaser and besides some small errors (team launch midyear doesn`t make sense, graphical glitches) this was a great intro.

What are your thoughts and wishes? For me it`s a proof that EA really knows how marketing works.

Personally I like the LA Lakers colorsheme and being able to place the fictional sponsors...well, it looks great. The numbers shown belong to Devon Butler and Aiden Jackson. I think it will be an experience like in breaking point, it would be cool to manage the team in myteam-mode as well. I don`t think we will get the opportunity to race with 24cars in myteam mode with an own team against Konnersport, that would be awesome.

I also keep my fingers crossed to see that livery and suits in the (most likely and hopefully last) podium pass for F1 22. That would be another great teaser.

Let`s hope the rest of the game will be of equal quality than this marketing campaign. The Wish- and Painlist of the community is long 😉

  • I thought the unveiling was cool. Livery looks nice, presenters did a good job. They claimed the reveal was long%awaited and highly anticipated, when no one knew this team was even a thing until the day before. Strange why they’re leaving the actual game reveal until May 1. Still curious to see if this ‘new season fresh start’ thing applies to this game or if it’s just going to be same game last year.

    Glad you liked it. Personally I watched the first two minutes and then switched it off! I found it painfully cringe-worthy and cheesy. Different marketing will work for different audiences of course 🙂.

    (I did just skim through the paused images on YouTube for the rest of the video to check there wasn't going to any actual game information too.)

    Nope No Definitely Not….

    Although I did like Grid legend’s extremely cheesy Story.  So I may at least do a hour

    Let's see how it turns out in the end, I just hope they addionally took care of bugs and improved myteam Mode. And maybe it's more than just a one time playthrough like breaking point was :-) 

    I will make my decission if it's worth to buy at full price after more infos are available. Hope dies last 🤣

    I’m going to retract my initial thoughts and will go into it with an open mind.

    Because I just remembered I really enjoyed the story mode they put on FIFA for a few years.   However actual gameplay was lacking but the story was really really good.

    My hope is we can put our My Team name on our cars too....this would make up for not being able to put engine manufacturers name on rear wing.
