Motorsport Manager Mobile 3 Reviews

by RideTheLightning1984

I loved the previous Motorsport Manager Mobile installments. I left the last one wanting more. This game delivers that! The prototypes and GT add many possibilities of gameplay. I love the look of the new UI but it does not deliver in substance. All of the action buttons are moved to the top of the screen making it harder to access them. The race hub is also a mess. It doesn’t look as clean as the previous installment. But, finally the biggest blunder of them all, the race engineers. I loved the bonuses that can be unlocked, but they destroyed a vital part of the gameplay. When you enter qualifying, you draw cards. THEY TOOK AWAY THE SETUPS. This turns good lap times into pure luck and destroys the key skills of finding a good setup for a car to get good lap times. This is deeply annoying and ruins the games for me. PLEASE BRING BACK PLAYER CONTROLLED SETUPS. Overall the game has many devastating flaws, but adds many new elements into the series.

Where to start... first off what a great game it’s an huge improvement over the MM2. The graphics are great but not a huge upgrade from MM2. One thing that needs refining is the hair of the avatars they need to be integrated better I find some hair pieces don’t look natural at all. But not a big deal (plus hair always looks strange on avatars)

This game is just so addictive it’s insane I will just play in forever all day every day it’s great.

But Are there plans to integrate more stuff into the game or will that be in MM4?

I would love to see and Indy Car or Formula E In a future version of the game. And a multiplayer mode would be great too!!!

The NEW Endurance mode is well made but not my favorite it’s a lot more micro management, but I’ve only done 1 invitational in it so idk yet. The NEW elimination mode it awesome so much fun and a good change to the normal race style. The NEW mechanics are great everything about then so well implemented.
I don’t really understand the NEW suppliers aspect besides the face that it gives you more bonuses. The NEW influence system and NEW voting system is soooooooooo good it’s very good.

In the end it’s a great game definitely worth the price and I would give it 5 stars but I don’t believe in a perfect game. But they came close.

I normally don’t write reviews, but I had to give feedback on this game because I wanted it to be great so badly. And in the grand scheme of things, this game is really fun. The racing seems to be improved, and there’s definitely a learning/development curve whenever you change racing leagues. BUT there’s one feature that absolutely kills this game for me, the card-based qualifying. As someone who actually works in data acquisition for a racing team, this feels like a slap in the face after the rest of the Motorsport manager series. I really enjoyed getting feedback and making changes in the PC version, but nope we got AR. So while that’s never going to change can we at least get 2018 iPad Pro support?

It’s nice, but ultimately repetitive. There are many goals to pursue but no real skill or intelligence is required to achieve any of them. You’re just going through the motions again and again and again. Maybe it is different on higher difficulties but I’ve found the game quite boring after a point. The same is true with the last game in the series in which I’ve invested at least 20 hours.

Now don’t get me wrong. It’s fun and polished but it became a button pressing simulator. Press this and then press that and repeat five times. At least the last one was unforgiving, it was very easy to lose. In this one, I’d get into debt and not care, because seasons are five races and you have four races to make up your balance. So you end up always on the plus.

So after two seasons I’ve deleted it. Maybe I don’t have the patience to play these games anymore.

I like this game a lot but there are a few things like practice sessions those are very important in Motorsport. Also I would like to see tire allocations that would add another level of strategy to the game. And last I think engine components would also add to the strategy but make them be able to be shut off for the people who do not like them. Engine components would also make the game more in depth with real life making three of every component would make you plan more about the races. Last but not least make the track grip go up so the times will get more competitive at the end of the session making for more close racing. That is all this game needs to be a great game

Never having played the first or second one (or any [insert sport here] manager game)I wasn’t sure what to expect. This game is beyond addicting, and if you’re smart enough, you won’t need to bother with the microtransaction. That being said: one of the biggest aspects that could be improved upon in an update or even MM4 would be the sponsorship system. Frankly there needs to be longer sponsorship contracts (like a complete season), or contracts that you can renew/negotiate, or make them worth more than they currently are. While I’m not the most learned in the minutiae of F1 or WEC, I don’t think teams’ contracts expire after X-races, and once those contracts expire, the company doesn’t wash their hands of the race team. So why can’t I renew with a company that I really like? Because of this, I haven’t figured “the sauce” with enduro-racing. Maybe it’s me, and having to sign six drivers with those tiny sponsorship deals, but I’ll keep playing to figure it out. One final addendum, would be driver testing. No race team would just sign a driver without seeing how they drive in their (the race team’s) car. Why expect the manager to plop down a stack of cash on a shot in the dark? TL;DR This game is well worth the price, don’t buy the microtransactions, and be smart with your in-game money.

“...could be hard for slower teams like Astra”. It’s the 9th out of 10 races in the season, and I’ve qualified first for and won every one of the races. There’s seems to be an issue with commentary, as taking pole and winning 9 out of the 9 races I’ve ran certainly doesn’t make me a “slower team”

Second complaint: Condense the text screens some how. It’s gotten to a point to where I tap “continue” repeatedly because there’s so many slides. Put them all into one screen, maybe something like a mailbox to check.

Other than those two, the game is near perfect!

Hi, this game is extremely fun and great for a Motorsports fan like me to have some fun. There a few bugs here and there, but not that many really. One thing I’d like to see in the future is a stock car racing option. I know the game kind of leads towards European racing, but it’d be cool to see stock car racing in the game (especially since i am a very big fan of stock car races)

Overall, i love the game. It has so many fun aspects and multiple different strategies for races. Another aspect to the game I’d like to see would be a rival system between the different drivers in the field.

If u are a motorsport fan and are looking for a great game, I’d definitely recommend this one!

I’ve tried other motorsport games like f1 manager and etc but never been able to truly get the hang of the game or interested enough to keep playing it. It was also hard to progress without buying in-game currency or boost for drivers but with this game i was able to complete a whole career in mode first go without purchase and was pretty happy with landing 4th as a new team. The game itself is very fun and to me someone who enjoys motor sports but doesn’t know everything it’s pretty realistic. Definitely recommend it for people who like management games or even racing games even though your not driving definitely for car people 👍🏾

I feel like there are some improvements that can be made, such as more tracks, drivers picking their numbers, longer races, better qualifying system, third drivers, practice, longer contracts and more realistic pay from sponsors, more expensive upgrades to car, speedometer, and throttle/brake monitor. But I think something really cool would be a driver stats database so you can compare your drivers stats to retired drivers stats, and just for record keeping. Things like wins, podiums, and DNFs would be kept in there and I think that would be so cool to compare, similar to football manager. But overall great game!

I would like to start off that this is the best manager simulator I’ve ever played. You can enjoy this game without in app purchases and it’s very addicting. I love integrate features of having a youth academy or participating in different racing series.

One thing that could improve is the competition. After one or two seasons you become much more superior than anybody else in tier 1. And it feels somewhat boring, even on “hard” mode. If we could include maybe another level of difficulty where the AI actively upgrades their cars, recruits new drivers, or makes serious sponsor moves that would be amazing. Maybe also include a rival feature with other companies.

Regardless. Great game and keep up the good work.

First off want to say great game can’t stop playing. But would like to throw some ideas for an update or MM Mobile 4, would like to see a lil more managing on individual racers like I started my story with my dad as my manager and me as the racer then I retired my dad and I as a racer took over as manager I guess what I think would be interesting is if you can give your consumers the ability to retire managers and racers and the game can identify family members by last name and more commentary I think it’s cool hearing about my team and other teams being mentioned throughout the circuit season

This is hands down one of the best sport manager games available and is well worth the money. My only issue is how perfect the bots are, and at times they almost seem cheaty. I’ve seen countless times a computer go around the last 3 laps or so on less than 10% Hyper Soft tires and that’s just not ok because I can’t make it one lap, event on conservative driving and 100% tire wear. I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a car (other than my own) have to limp around a track because of a tire blowout, fuel shortage, or any other factor than a crash. And I experimented and it’s like this on all 3 difficulties. A multiplayer system could be a way to take my mind off that 🤷‍♂️

Normally, when picking a racing game, I like being in the cockpit, racing the other drivers and fighting for first. This is normally NOT my kind of game. That being said, as someone who went in expecting to not be impressed with the game, I have had a great experience. The strategy of the game is unparalleled by any other strategy game I have ever played, you have to be careful to work within your budget, and the races are BY NO MEANS HANDS OFF GAMEPLAY! You need to watch and observe your drivers carefully, listen to their suggestions, keep an eye on the weather, and change tires and engine power. I can not endorse this game enough, it is a must play!

I do not care about racing. I don’t know how a car works. I didn’t even know teenagers could be professional drivers. But the simulation and management aspects in this game are second to none. Every decision matters, the in game choices make or break races so you feel like you’re “playing,” each race rather than hit sim and get a result output. MM3 improved GFX, added more options and drivers, and seems to be just as replay-able. When I truck and have no reception in areas quality offline games like these are amazing

Every release of this game is a very hug improvement. Games extremely stable and more in depth with the two new types of racing, a better formatted HQ upgrades, and an interesting strategy for upgrading the supplier network. My only complaint is that on the invitational event the Phoenix 50 the blue flags ruin the race you can’t go off strategy because you will be blue flagged out of contention and that’s not realistic in open wheel oval racing. Other than that complaint the game has been absolutely superb

I’ve played every single version of this game including PC and I still love it, definitely one of my favorite mobile games of all time. Though, like every other version, the game still isn’t balanced that well. You always start off a series losing every race and in a couple seasons you dominate everyone and are almost unbeatable. Then you move up to the next series and do it all over again. I’ve gotten to the point of having to basically throw races to make the championship more interesting because I really don’t feel like restarting the entire game again just for more excitement. I mean the game doesn’t get boring it’s just too easy in the long-run. Something, in this game or future games, needs to be done to the AI so they can compete with you even when you’re technologically the best on the grid.

I love Motorsport Manager 1 and 2, and I have the game for my Mac too. There is no other sports sim that even comes close to this. MM3 now brings pretty much everything from the Mac/PC version and even adds some stuff, like supply chains. The only real difference is that the cars are still dots here rather than cars, but that’s a really minor point. Now, the game offers AR view, haptic feedback, and so may customizations (please buy the IAP while still on sale, you will really want it later).

If you’re worried about the learning curve, don’t. I know zero about motorsports except what I’ve learned from this series of games. I’m a hockey and lacrosse guy. Still, the game is completely playable as you learn all the inns and outs of racing.

This game is amazing. Doing contracts with sponsors and drivers and many more other things are incredible things that this game has. When I started in the f1 series, it was great. I had ok drivers, cars and staff. It was until the end of the season that I went to prototypes. When I started another season, a new thing was introduced and it was called “energy” or something like that. I know that in real life, f1 uses DRS which makes the car faster on straights. I don’t really like this new energy concept, it makes the racing complex and it’s another thing you have to worry about. I feel like that should be removed. Other than that the game is great!! I will check ou MM2 and MM1.

P.s it will be cool if we can see the cars on the track instead of dots. Just something that will make the experience better!

Im big fan of MM, MM 2, and PC version. I do my gaming when Im travelling, so the Ipad works. I dont have time at home. I was hoping for more of a PC version experience. With MM2 mobile it seemed this was the direction it was going. But now with this version youve delivered a dumbed down, Im sorry, “streamlined experience” Insert boring here. Insulting. It keeps alot of what MM2 had, so it gets 3 stars. You took away qualifying setups and put in a card based system. All luck. AR? thats one of your big features??! So I can make it look like the race is on my kitchen table? Really? Cmon Playsport, Im sorry to be harsh, but this feels like a step back. Thats great including GT and Endurance. Kudos for that. But you even put in the car graphics with the single biggest thing F1 fans hate this year, that ugly roll hoop! I will end positive, the graphics look nice. However, I would rather see content than eye candy.

This is easily the best race manager game on mobile, this game is well worth the price to unlock the premium features. My only complaints would be a more engrossing livery and sponsorship system is needed, but there are no other mobile race manager games that come close to this in gameplay and user interface. You may get improved graphics with the officially licensed F1 game, but this gameplay is far better. Great work guys, keep improving!
