iGP Manager 26: New League System Explained

There will be future updates coming. This update was the foundation work for additional features coming.

Its only P2W my friend...the lvl20 IGP was great and simple

My friend, perhaps you are new here.


The game was in need of serious regeneration to keep up with competitors. Not everything stays the same and we need to move on as a community. In 3 or 4 months time - once everything is ironed out the game will be as good as new and will be ground breaking for mobile phone racing management games.

Stick to the process of Jack and his dev team who work tirelessly to assist the development of the game. It will come good.

right, ironed out, thats exactly why we still have pit bugs in almost every track for more than a year and they werent fixed, car dev which is one of the most important aspect of this game is not working but perhaps if ur not competitive u wouldnt have noticed, so before dropping a huge update that no one asked for and is obviously not working, we should focus on fixing the outgoing issues, instead we're adding more bugs to already ongoing/unfixed bugs
and u know why? cuz they dont know how to fix it, you wanna know why they dont know? cuz the team dev lead is mr AI, the future of racing, AI cant fix the code = the game is broken
everything the community asked for is not being implemented, instead we're focusing on one thing that only one individual wanted
and gg now we made this game p2w cuz f2p players have no fucking chance of catching up with the atrophy and having to train drivers every time just to get nerfed the next season
so no, i am not trusting a game that relies on AI solely to code its game

The pit bugs should be fixed in this update, if you encounter any let us know and I'll get them addressed.


What isn't working in car development?



New tyre model, pit fixes, a new league system (alright, controversy there, we'll work on it, but our intention is to address the community's concerns, while providing a sustainable future for development).


I'd like to hear your thoughts on this because the old system was arguably punishing f2p players more. You'd level up several times per-season and have to keep training or buying new drivers. Now as you level up you retain all performance. Also, the performance is equalised so low level and high level have the same level. Before, it was truly impossible to compete because level 10 could never compete with level 30, now they can.


EDIT: Also, about the AI thing... I don't think some people realise what we're doing. I'm not talking about having a conversation with ChatGPT. We're talking about me, a PHP developer who doesn't know C++, successfully building a server-side C++ vehicle physics / racing simulation, all without eating any additional compute over the old ghosting system, which was incredibly basic. This is nothing to scoff at. Coming back to web development after that is like a relief, it's so easy in comparison. This is not the way the general public use AI. These are advanced systems and setups that have been developed over months, integrated directly into our pipeline. Most people aren't aware that this is possible currently, it's leading edge stuff.

Hey Jack! 

I just bought bronze to allow for custom points, however the values are coming up as “undefined”. Any thoughts on how to help this, sorry.

This also comes up when I want to select a co host.

Whats going on with the Research ,?

You are probably new, this update has been coming for YEARS. Please scroll back into the old forums about change being needed for more customisation and to fit in with the ever growing and changing world of gaming. This has been well needed for years. Yes, the game may seem buggy and underdeveloped now. But everything starts somewhere. This update is the foundations to the later game like Jack has already mentioned. There will be various bug fixes in the future aswell as new features that make the game stand out. Jack is trying to eliminate a lot of the inactivity with most of these changes, and trying to limit the number of leagues made - bringing a closer and more experienced community whilst also growing the game to newcomers.



My message for you at the moment is to trust the process, trust Jack, and his new devs team. 

The Ukraine war in particular hurt iGP as one of the creators was involved in the war and couldn’t assist to the game. 

Trust the process and please give back accurate and useful feedback to help Jack out.

Thanks, Paul.



Ps. Final message to Jack: I presume the points feature and other features in “boosts” are now live and ready to be used if I bought boosts now?

I'm sorry, but PLEASE stop treating the playerbase as if they are fools or new people (this also goes for that Nico guy). Most of the people who are calling out the absolute abysmal state of the game are NOT new players in any way or capacity, in fact some of them (us) have been playing at a high competitive level for a VERY LONG TIME. Most of us have been playing for YEARS (decades even) and just know how every single year the quality of the service keeps going down and down and down, while prices keep getting inflated, all while ignoring most people's complaints. Please, stop gaslighting people with this "trust the plan" nonsense. If you want to believe whatever is being fed to you, that's cool! But don't try to gaslight those of us who have been here for a very long time and just know the way things have been going (and also how things will likely end).
At least get new material, honestly. "Just trust the plan next update will be the good one!!!" XDD Seriously, how many more years of botched updates and unfixed bugs and inflated prices with worse gameplay does this game have endure to be "good"????? I started playing this game when I was a teenager, and at the time people were already talking about how the "next update would be the best ever" XD. Fast forward a decade ago and I keep hearing this same bs just to justify the sorry state of this game. You do whatever you want with your own money, but don't try to gaslight people into your delusions, because you'll be in for a rude awakening. This game is "potential man", always "when" and "if" and "would", but never "IS"!!!!

That said, I think the league changes are actually very good, but I also think this has done way too late, but it is what it is. Have fun whoever still wants to enjoy this game while you can, I guess. Especially good luck to anyone who wants to play f2p, you will need it if you want to keep up with p2w players hehe^^ (because yes, theres absolutely no chance that a f2p can keep their drivers at max stats with how slow they are trained and how short the season breaks are).

Since the Ukraine war the game has been behind for quite some time. Only the other year did we get the 2022 cars update, so naturally many projects had to be placed on hold. 


If you want to trust the process, please do, if not - no hard feelings. 

Your terms are acceptable :)

I sincerely wish you the best. My point was just that most complaints aren't from random people, but from some of us who LOVED this game and played it at a top level but unfortunately just can't deal with this anymore. It just kinda pisses me off that disappointment from long time players is brushed off as if they are new players and that we have to keep trusting the plan or whatever.
But yeah, you do you obviously, it's your account and your money! Hope you can keep having fun.
