So...the 'F1 Manager 25' game might be CANCELLED...

[@ilovesalat]

This would be so bad. F1 Manager 24 is one of the best F1 games ever. They Improved so much from 22 to now. Losing this game series would be such a shame

[@macrossMX]

If anything, Frontier can take what they have learned making the F1 manager series, and make a real successor to Motorsport Manager. Imagine a modern Motorsport manager that has an affiliate system where you can create a junior academy, assign them to personal training, assisting in car development, or send some out to work with sponsors for additional income, and actually have the power to sign them up for different racing series. And unlike F1 manager, where you are limited to F3 to F1, this successor title will have those 3 tiers of open wheel racing, and the addition of an Indycar-expy series, GT racing series, Endurance series, and Karting series. Of course, they can take the more expensive method of allowing you to play as all those racing series, or do what Open Wheel Manager 2 did and only focus on the F1-expy series while simulating the others.

[@Borgscan]

Make a new motorsport manager would work for me. Some people actually prefer the non-licenced stuff so they can make their own story about it, like they were able to do in Motorsport Manager.

[@coltith7356]

So the F1 series, which is still carrying over bugs from F1 2017, can continue just fine with a constantly decreasing quality and support, but an innovative game that is more complete, has year-long updates, amazing direct support and increases in quality every year can't ? What the hell is this world we live in.

[@LiamCatterson]

Its why people really need to listen and boycott the ongoing F1 games by EA so they can be given the boot. There’s no effort, they only care about useless modes and do nothing to make the F1 games special. Sadly people will suffer amnesia every year, rinse and repeat

[@atharvadate7345]

On the bright side, since this is a recent game, the modding potential would be insane for future seasons.

[@benn87]

It's quite simple. Manager games are an even smaller niche than racing games. I could imagine that Liberty Media, in its naivety, expected similar sales for the manager game as for the racing game. And Frontier is not a huge studio with endless resources...

[@Micfri300]

It's quite simple that people have smaller and smaller braincells and can't comprehend managerial games.

[@speedreeder904]

What’s kind of ironic is that the cost of the license is a cause to this being cancelled and this game is a gateway in to the F1 scene for many people such as myself which potentially leads to more money than they would receive from the license. I had zero interest in F1 prior to playing this game and now I’m going to be watching my first F1 race this coming weekend.

Because of how moddable the game is, i know that SOMEONE is going to go "Fine, i'll do it myself."

[@Magias1805]

I'm not really surprised by this. For me they did focus to much on managing the races instead of managing the f1 team. Micro Managing the races did not feel great for me. They improved it over the years and this year you could thankfully simulate the races, but still felt like there are major things missing I expected from a F1 Manager Game.

[@JiffySpongeChannel]

What kinds of things?

[@metro3313]

It's important to note that this is NOT yet confirmed, for now it is just a rumour that was pulled from a Frontier based financial report on the F1 manager series (Written by Zeus Research and Technology, published in September of 2024).

We need to spread the word so it gets to frontier, maybe there's something they can do, even for a DLC or something like that so the game can get a last massive update going into next year, and maybe future proof it a bit more. It'll be interesting to see if someone figures out how to add more radio messages and face scans to update the driver market, because that's the one thing that could make a big difference in playing this next year

[@mattknight2535]

What also concerns me is that if there is no F1M25 then EA will have no competition so won't give a damn

[@MasePlaysGames]

Even right now they don’t give a damn

[@Spider-Man62]

They don’t have competition with f1 manager. 2 entirely different genres

[@napkinalsoknownasnapkin]

Abt the message to EA, I actually have had messages abt silly season in the game, however after the next season the most driver transfers there were was about 2, with Yuki going to Ferrari and I go to Aston and both Sainz and Stroll go to RB. I think more chaotic and more surprising driving transfers like how the manager games do it would be more fun, but also think it'd be nice if they renovated the messages system in F1 racing games to make it more lively, like as the season nears it's closing you'd get messages of potential driver transfers in the photo with all teams along their drivers the same we see people put collages of next seasons drivers and teams they're in on social media, making it feel more lively and more connected to the community I think would make it better for people playing ((and of course fix the actual racing as driving trains are so much of a problem in 24, but I think they're well aware by that now.))

[@jackchapman1928]

Hopefully Mod's will keep the game up to date with data updates and livery updates

[@togoshi]

If there aren’t any f1 manager next year you should try automation it has a really nerdy and realistic side and you can do any motor and car you want and even import them on beam ng and i rly think you would love it (ofc i know it isn’t a manager game and there is no battle for a title but you could make some kind of championship between the cars with lap time for example). I rly am sad they are stopping f1 manager 😢

[@coltith7356]

Player have spent years telling Codies and EA what they want added in the game. Literal years. And we've had nothing. And still, we continue to do their job for them while they ignore us. Everything is wrong about the F1 game, meanwhile the F1 manager games are the exact opposite, new features all the time, increasing quality, amazing support, and it's going to be taken away from us

[@ethanmelendi5453]

[@Addyboy0190]

I honestly think a new game every year is just a money grab move, when you have a good base game like manager 24, the 25 season could be just a features update with DLC for the 25 season cars and liveries, I find it wasteful and a money grab for a new games for every new season for a sport, unless they are changing fundemental aspects of the game like mechanics or game engine only then would it warrant a new game

[@lorisnavel13]

that would be great but they can’t pay off license and profit with yearly release let alone with dlcs which can’t be justified at 60$ price for 10 new car models and liveries

[@SergioUriosSimRacing]

Might they keep releasing unlicensed Racing Management Games? Maybe, at least, for that supoosed F1 Manager 25, they might release a "Racing Manager 25", with unlicensed drivers, teams and tracks. Might it be possible? And maybe, thanks to not depending on the license, they have more freedom in terms of mechanics and things to include in the game, making it way more popular, which may motivate them to keep releasing unlicensed racing management games, something we haven't never seen

[@speedreeder904]

I really hope they do. I care more about the content of the game than having realistic names and teams.

[@aboveaura4817]

Unlicensed but with mod support, otherwise theres no point. The only reason MM is still superior is becaues of mods.

[@TedIsBoredd]

I hope manager becomes a gamemode in the main f1 game, kinda like fifa and nba 2k

[@Matt231985uk]

Why does it need an annual release? The idea is that you play through multiple seasons in one game. I'd happily download an update each year and continue my career mode. Then buy the new game every 2-3 years. F1 Manager 24 is a great game and well worth a purchase! How much can you really add to justify buying a new version every 12 months? 22-23 was pretty much the same game!

[@oopsydaehwi]

I have literally never had any interest in the F1 Manager games until I started watching your gameplay of it. Now I want every single F1 Manager game. Waiting until payday so I can buy it. All thanks to your videos. It just looks so much fun.

[@callumpartridge9092]

Ahh man this would be a shame 😕 I’ve always enjoyed your manager videos and although I played a lot of motorsport manager, it’s the first F1 manager game that I’ve played and I’ve really enjoyed it!

[@gusmicrepaldi]

it would be so good if codemasters do a manager gamemode

[@DarthRayvonGaming]

If true, and i can totally see why it is; it’s really sad. Frontier have added just the right amount to keep year in year players interested, while not over complicating things too much for new player. BUT its a harsh reality that this will never have the reach of Football manger/championship manager. If it turns out that this is it….. bring on the mods!!!!

[@brdrummond]

So really what we need is an F1 game and an F1 Manager game with no licenses involved, basically full "MyTeam" iterations of the games, but with mod support so people can ADD the licensed teams without breaking any laws. Each would be a project for the ages without a huge team of competent people to work on them, but I'd wager the F1 gaming community is determined enough, smart enough and resourceful enough to make it work if there's some leadership that can keep everyone pointed in a direction, just like any normal game studio.

[@string_t]

I feel the most for the devs. It’s clear that they love what they’re doing and are pouring their hearts into this, with such detail and quality content. I get this suspicion that FOM and EA have flexed their monopoly and elbowed Frontier out for making the official F1 game look bad. If so, it’s really sad to see such a heartless two-faced betrayal against Frontier

[@adstagaming]

I HOPE this is so they don't have to do yearly anymore, just do actual good games with new features once every couple years with at least 2 seasons per game.

I will be gutted if it's true I love the game especially since they lowered the price yes it had a lot of faults but I generally love playing it and the driver engineer radios were my favorite feature hopefully it comes back after a year break

[@PolePeacock]

I feel the only way an F1 manager game will work if its made like old championship manager or football manager styles. With the majority of the gameplay just on menu screens and the races being a 2d top down low graphic race you watch. I think that way is a lot better and then use car setup and upgrades as a way like tactics on football manager (really in depth and satisfying if you get right). Reduces costs massively, with little need for animation and graphics.

[@IRTACO_03]

Decelopers should know not to rush games. F1 manager 2022 shouldnt have released. If they started with 2023 way less people would've wrote it off. 2022 just wasnt fun imo

If EA implement features in F1 24 we all know how it'll go. Broken all year, sell the same game next year pretending it's fixed, only half fixed and the first patch makes it worse than it was the year before. I'm not sure I want that. I'd rather have the F1 game disappear and keep F1 manager, which is better and better every year and doesn't treat its fanbase as cows to milk with false promises every two weeks.

[@gamingavenue6405]

I totally agree with you Aarav this is such a shame and if EA don't wake up and make a banger of a game next year I fear F1 games are toast. I have literally only play 4 races in driver career in season 1 in F1 24 and stopped playing because of the ridiculous DRS/ERS trains which still aren't fixed. This is a disaster if it's true.

I think its important to note that this Reddit poster that all this news is coming from does not have a lot of credibility so it's very possible this isn't the end for F1 Manager. I can certainly see it ending though unfortunately especially with the update which honestly felt like a new game in ways. It is quite possible though that If there isn't a new game we might get more sizable updates in the future so at least we will hopefully have that to look forward to. At the very least, at least with this update and the last one, if this is the end, it's ending on a high so we shall see what happens from here. Here's hoping it isn't the end.
