    I found F1 Manager 2023 to be slightly worse than last year's edition. In small things, not important stuff, but still. That's the first aspect that pulls the score down. The second one is the fact that after the previous edition we were expecting updates and improvements in every part of the game, but we got basically the same game in terms of content and mechanics.

    F1 Manager 23 evolves and grows upon the foundations of Frontier's motorsports sim, adding an accessible new Race Replay mode based on real-world events, and expanding some key options for team management. However, it's not quite there with the overall presentation, and there's some AI quirks that you need to babysit through race weekends, whether you're fighting for every point possible or hunting for championships.

    Frontier's annual management sim offers some small refinements over its predecessor but a lack of major upgrades means it doesn't snatch pole.

    If you like F1 and deep management games, you'll certainly like it a lot. And if you like math/statistics , like me, you'll love it lol. TheIf you like F1 and deep management games, you'll certainly like it a lot. And if you like math/statistics , like me, you'll love it lol. The game is hugely replayable, hundreds of hours of fun guaranteed. Needs a few minor patches, but it's truly amazing. Some people complain about the difficulty, but you get it after some fails, believe it. The difficulty is the main "replay factor". If you really like F1 and want a fun challenge, go with it!… Full Review »

    Thoughts-
    This may all sound very familiar to you if you’ve played F1 Manager 2022. However, you have the added benefit of roster updates and commentary regarding the actual real-world 2022 season as you head into the 2023 season of your own making. At the end of the day, F1 Manager 2023 accomplishes its goal of being a meaty management simulation. Those who are new to the world of team management can indicate as such when starting the 2023 season which will offer plenty of guidance in-game. If you have played a couple of management simulations in the past, you will need all the help you could get. And while this sub-genre may not rank high in your favored gameplay types, it must be recognized that it largely succeeds in what it sets out to do. F1 fans will undoubtedly be thrilled with what F1 Manager 2023 offers.    … Full Review »

    The idea of this game is so good, it's fun to manage your team, but.... The game is just bugged out, and it's ruining the game for me.The idea of this game is so good, it's fun to manage your team, but.... The game is just bugged out, and it's ruining the game for me. Qualifying is bugged, cars slowing down for no reason, not fully pushing in flying lap.

    This game is a 9/10 for how fun this could be, but how it's all done right now, its a like7/10 for me.    … Full Review »
