Has anybody got this management sim? What do you think of it? All comments appreciated within reason...

I guess it's OK, but it's pretty tedious. Gameplay consists of reading email from your "staff", allocating team resources, negotiating staff and sponsor contracts. The race weekend activities are limited to pit strategy and normal/push/ease-off team orders. The in-race graphics are average at best. I like management games and F1, but this one became shelfware after a few virtual seasons. It was disappointing since I spent a couple of hours during a business trip to London specifically trying to track down an elusive copy of this game. CZ Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/

If you are talking about F1 Manager 2000 from EA, one word: sucks. Sune "Guy Patterson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Ths76.1576$[email hidden]... > Has anybody got this management sim? What do you think of it? > > All comments appreciated within reason... > >

Thanks for the warning and comment. I am curious why did you not like the EA F1 Manager? I have not even seen this game here in the U.S. Grand Prix World is from Microprose. "Sune" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Wkt86.1869$[email hidden]...

I have not even seen this game here in the U.S. IMHO, EA F1 Manager is worse than Grand Prix World. It's buggier and much less realistic. The EA product does have better graphics, but that's not usually the hallmark of a management game. Even if you combined the best aspects of both, you'd have a pretty mediocre game.

Good Question....I got my copy of Grand Prix World, from an online store in the UK. Took about a week to get it shipped to Minnesota. I guess you might try a search of online UK stores.

Microprose isn't marketing it in the US so you'll have to shop online from a .uk sight. You also better hope it's a lot better then the old versions, otherwise it's not worth the trouble.
