Do F1 cars have backpedals?
Yesterday,F1 Manager 2022developers Frontier told the community that the game’s next update “the last significant update that addresses player-reported feedback, or suggested changes and additions.” Players were upset that updates addressing their concerns seemed to be coming to an end two months after F1 Manager 2022’s release.

The initial update wasposted to the F1 Manager 2022 subreddit. After describing the contents of the next in-development update, it goes on to talk about “the future of F1 Manager”.
“This next update for F1 Manager 2022 will be the last significant update that addresses player-reported feedback, or suggested changes and additions,” says the post. “Any potential updates following this would be minor patches that do not noticeably affect gameplay. To ensure upcoming F1 Manager projects realise their potential and meet the expectations of both our team and our community, the development team’s focus must move fully onto projects beyond F1 Manager 2022, after this upcoming update.”
That seems pretty clear: Frontier are going to release one more patch addressing player-feedback, then move on to working on “upcoming F1 Manager projects” - presumablyF1 Manager 2023.
As of a few hours ago, Frontier say that this is all just one big misunderstanding. Anupdate posted to the same Reddit communitytoday says that updates are continuing.
I’m not sure how reasonable it is to buy any game and expect ongoing updates, particularly annualised sports games, but this also doesn’t seem like crossed wires so much as a company yelling “Sorry. Im sorry. Im trying to remove it” when players get mad at them.
