CARRER SUGGESTIONS FOR PCM 20017

Message21 Jan 2017, 06:14

CAREER

First of all thank you very much for your efforts. PCM has reached to be a great game due to your hard work. Year after year has improved the game, now I want to share with you some ideas and suggestions to try to improve PCM 2017. I hope my suggestions can be useful.

Please keep in mind that this is the result of hundreds of hours of gameplay in the last editions of PCM, of watching game-plays from different users and many hours thinking about how to improve my dear Pro Cycling Manager.

Let’s go with my career suggestions

Inscriptions:

The riders inscriptions is usually so strange for example top riders usually do not appears in WT, they usually go to “little races” to get fit. For example Contador used to go to Algarve, Froom to Herald Sun Tour (Australia) and other USA races, Quintana to Tour de San Luis and Vuelta Andalucia, Valverde to Mallorca….

Teams is the same, is not very realist. In my career just three teams applied for Vuelta's wildcards, however 8 teams applied for Pologne Tour Wildcards, that is very unrealistic. In fact Caja Rural, whose mainly objective in season is La Vuelta did not apply for Vuelta's Wildcard. That is very extrange. Usually Giro give three wild cards to italian teams and other one to foreign team (CCC and Gazprom last years). Tour is similar (Cofidis and Direct Energie use to be invited), and La Vuelta Cofidis and Caja Rural usually take part and other years Bora, Direct E.,Orica, Colombia… A solution could be based on real calendar 2017 and last year of teams and riders scheldure.

Also is important that riders has inscribed depends of Race profile. For example Giro is very important for italians, colombians, climbers, sprinters, one day riders (like Brambilla, Ulissi),young promess (Jungels, Chaves, Zakarin…) Tour the best riders in the world and Vuelta is for climbers, good in walls, hills, TT preparing World Championship and riders that can get a good fitness for World Championship.

Of course IA top riders should fix his goals at beginning of year. For example Sagan usually go full of fitness to cobblestone races and Tour, Quintana Tour and Vuelta Froome Tour and go to Vuelta as secondary goal, Tony Martin to TT World Championship etc Sometimes you see top riders take part in Tour in bad fitness. This race is the most important event in the year.



TRADES:

- Team should respect their identity, focus in rider type by country and if the team is focus on GC or win stages and classics. For example Movistar will try to sign on climbers, Tours riders, TT Spain and South America as priority, Quick Step try to sign on cobblestone, Ardennes, Sprinters, TT of Center Europe, Katusha East Europe…

- Wait to close the mainly trades, usually in the Vuelta a World Championship team close their teams to new year.

-Top cyclist can ask the new team to sign on his squires to move. For example Nibali (Agnoli,his brother), Contador (Jesus Hernandez), Quintana (Anacona), Cavendish (Renshaw), Sagan (Baška, Bodnar, Juraj Sagan) …

- Riders keep in mind the category of the team for next year. For example if you are Pro Cycling category but you are first in Standings, the cyclist think that you will be a World Tour Team next year.

-Cyclist be aware Will take into account the role that offers the team that makes the offer and how many brokers of his specialty are in the team. If a great runner will also take into account the quality of the domestiques.

- Be able to find a sponsor or ask more money to your currently sponsor to sign on a start.

- Sign on young riders for development team

- Interrupt simulation if you have news regarding trades and have at least a week to decide.

CALENDAR, TRAINING AND CONCENTRATIONS

- Option to select your leaders (max 8) and assign to free some riders, they are not a leader, therefore they do not have servants but they have not fo the same calendar of leaders.

- Option to change fitness schedule of all riders

- Pre-assign riders to races easiest as now

- Indicate in screen to select riders, if for some rider this races is one of his favourites and if is an objective of some rider and team or sponsor objective.

- Up stats due to training and concentrations should be more progressive, not as quickly as now. IA Teams can use this.


- Up stats depends not just with training, it should be a mix with stages that you take part. For example to up stats in Time-Trial you need to training TT and take part in TT stages. If cyclist have good results in this stage you will be more options to improve rider stats.

- Select type of training can improve somes stats, but maybe you can lost some others stats.


FEELING RIDERS AND SPONSORS

Is necessary change sponsors and riders feelings and goals.
- Sponsors: Targets usually is unrealistic. Sponsors do not keep in mind category, Team Features, riders etc
- Riders feelings is not working properly. For example riders are feeling sad for their schedule even when they just took part in a Grand Tour (Tour, Giro, Vuelta).
- Riders do not keep in mind the category and team feature. For example a rider in a Continental Tour ask to take part in a World Tour Race or rider ask to take part of Tour when his Team is not invited to the race.


NEWSPAPER AND NEWS
- Newspaper before stages or races is a very good idea. However usually interviews is very crazy. For example Kristoff said that he will try to win the Tour (very crazy).
- Newspapers after stage/race just inform who win the this day. But sometimes is more important another incidents for example if there is a new leader, or if a one of the favourite suffered a fall.


RACES

- Add Olympics and World Championship Team TT in PCM 2017


- Real dates and names of races (this year tour Pologne and Eneco Tour was wrongly).


- Real jerseys and rules (In example Tour France mountain points or Vuelta España do not
has best younger maillot).

- Pre-selection in Tour-Vuelta-Giro (usually Teams need enroll 12 riders and then select 9 for final list). like in World Cup.

Teams TT the winner of the stage if the Team not a rider.

- National and World Championships: - National and World Championships: There are some errors with National Championships.
- TT and Line Race should be in the same City.
- Remove Teams Classification
- Remove Bonus in the Races (it not make sense).


INTERFACE AND GENERAL QUESTIONS

- The Possibility of sign on assistant to take over of for example finances, training, equipment, staff. In order Players can deal just to task that they want

- More options for scouts, in the past you can send them to regions to search young riders.


- In Result, be able to search for category and country of the races in order to do it fast, now is very cumbersome.

- Reduce time waiting charging 3D Gameplay.

- Filter emails, Now you receive a lot of unuseful notifications (it is annoying).In PCM 20017 will be wondeful, receive not news of all races in the world. I think with World Tour races, and races of the country of your team is enough (always you can go to search the information of a race in results). Another thing is news regarding when riders make his debut in the season or their position in World Tour Classification. I think with an resume email with this, once at month is enough. Or maybe, other option is that players will be able to filter which information they want to receive and in which period.

- Sponsors: Is not very clear, you receive an email with an offer but when you go to search it, is missing. Is necessary a screen to negotiate with sponsor easier.

- Bugs: Please check bugs, usually in Carrer mode there are a lot crashes. Please do double check before launch the game.

-Tips: when you are waiting for 3D race is a very good idea. If it could be in a bigger font, It would be brilliant.

- Make sure that once you unlocked a Objective, “Objective Unlocked” message shouldn’t show anymore. In PCM 2016 there wasa lot of errors with it. For example you can see “Yelow Jersey objective unlocked” when you do not lead GC in Tour (just you won a stage). Please check it.

- Include more classifications in Standings. For example: Sprints won by a cyclist, best cyclist in classics, best cyclist in Cobblestones, Stages victories in Races (Stage Races), Victories in Time-Trials (more of this standings will be include in UCI Classifications in 2017).

SIMULATION

I miss more options in simulation, in example, the player be able to decide who go to bidons (water), be able to decide who will take part of sprint treno, in which order or which will in charge of protect the leader, who will relay in climbs or flat. If you want allow the breakaway or if you want to increase the pace in ports, if a rider need to save energies… Definitely more options (even play just last 10 km).


CUSTOM TEAM

One of the options most used by PCM players is start a new Career with a Custom Team, they choice them prefered cyclists. I want to explain an idea that I have about how to go in depth and progress with this mode.

User will be three choices when they select Custom Team:
-Team Category: World Tour, Continental Pro, Continental, U23.
- Difficulty: High, Medium or Low. Depends of this selection the user should more or less budget and the riders would reject your offer.
- Team objectives: General Stages Races, North Classics, Ardennes, Sprints, TT, World Championship. Best Team in WT...

For example, in continental high level you do not be able to sign riders whose current Team is Continental Pro (in Continental Pro High, you do not be able to sign World Tour riders). Also riders reject your offer for the followings reasons:
Budget (if you do not have sufficient money to sign him)
Team Category: Continental, Continental Pro, WT, U23.
Roster. Top riders would be sure that they will have appropriate mates to achieve his goals.
Team objectives. A Top sprinter will reject offers of a Custom Teams whose goals are win stages races.
Is very important that you cannot take a lot of riders of the same teams or all the leaders of one team in order to not decompensate too much the team.


I hope this suggestion be useful for you.


EXPORT CAREER
A lot of users play a session with real Roster Teams and Profile Races in PCM 2016 but when a new PCM arrives they are not able to follow his Career in new PCM. Would be brilliant if will be possible export the career to the new PCM with the new features, real races and stages, and new stats.
