De Italiaanse studio Milestone komt deze zomer weer met een nieuw deel in de MotoGP serie, namelijk MotoGP 17. Deze game zal natuurlijk de gebruikelijke modi bevatten, maar de ontwikkelaar heeft nu ook een nieuwe vorm van de carrière modus onthuld, namelijk de Managerial Career Mode.
Zoals de naam al doet vermoeden is de speler in deze carrière modus de manager van een team. Dit betekent dat spelers alle belangrijke beslissingen nemen op het gebied van coureurs, motoren, sponsoren en R&D. Hieronder een overzicht van wat je zoal kunt verwachten van de verschillende onderdelen uit deze modus.
- 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!
- R&D 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!
Naast deze aankondiging heeft Milestone ook een nieuwe video vrijgegeven waarin je nieuwe gameplay beelden van MotoGP 17 kunt zien. De game moet op 15 juni uitkomen voor de PlayStation 4, Xbox One en PC.
