The latest trailer for MotoGP 17 is here and shows more off about Managerial Career Mode.
It appears that in addition to hiring drivers and customizing various aspects of the bikes/uniforms, you're tasked with hiring preparation teams. You'll be able to focus on three types of staff: Pit, Office, and Support. These positions will aid your team in a variety ways. Positions like engineers and analysts will help your riders train and deal with the physical and mental stress of race weekends, while your marketing/public relations departments will focus more on your team's image. The variety in this mode makes this stand from the crowd with an intricate blend of simulation and sport to keep fans of either satisfied.
The Team Manager will lead every aspect of the team like a deus ex machina, including:
• Sponsors: as the reputation of your team grows victory after victory, you will be able to increase your visibility and receive offers from the Championship’s official sponsors, allowing you to get new in-game credits.
• Bikes: being competitive means being able to race on high performance bikes and being a Team Manager means you can invest in the best models. Naturally, the more popular your team becomes, the greater your selection will be!
• Riders: one of the main tasks of the debut season will be to choose the best riders for your team; the player, apart from racing with their custom rider, will also need to hire another 5 riders who will compete in all the categories, guided by artificial intelligence. The player will also manage the crew and prepare the riders for each challenge. Managing the activities and costs for both the team and riders will speed your journey to success.
• Team Departments: as the Team Manager, you will oversee the various departments that make up your team, investing resources to improve the growth of the riders and your income after each race. The team consists of more than 10 departments (Nutritionists, Athletic Preparation Team, Sports Management, etc.) and with careful management, players can win the World Championship in three different classes!
• Research and Development Department: although a team is chiefly made up of people and activities that need to be managed on a daily basis, a good Team Manager will invest in the R&D department so as to always guarantee not only the best bikes but also the best components which will ensure superior performance, race after race!
With the new Managerial Career mode, for the first time ever, you can live the thrill of the MotoGP™ championship in a leading role!
