PS4 Pro Team mode - are they serious?

So, i loaded up my new TdF 2014 on my PS4, wanted to try out the Pro Team Mode.. Sounded like fun, but after playing it, im just thinking - are they serious?

So lets say i actually happen to sign Contador, he will be in both my and Saxo Banks team? (i understand that they choose this solution, otherwise it would be too easy IN THE END).

But what happens after "x" seasons when you have Contador, Nibali, Valverde, Cavendish or whatever your "dream team" is. Havent they implemented somekind of "talent system" ? Where a rider keeps getting better, more well known etc.

Or is it the same year after year? They cant seriously think thats a good solution.


Is anyone else annoyed with how the automatic changes happening during races? (after using auto mode)
Keeps setting "x" protected by "x".
Team riders is relaying without a reason

Loads of other stuff happening, please tell me something or everything is being looked at, otherwise a completely waste of money.

I completely agree. I have also written a thread about Pro Tour Mode and all its flaws.
As the Tour Mode is getting boring quickly, I have been playing Pro Tour Mode quite a lot. And yes, I have a team of clones with my favorite riders, meaning that I often compete with my clone when sprinting and climbing as the stats are the same. Rodriguez will often ride against Rodriguez on puncher stages, Kittel against Kittel on sprint stages, Contador against Contador on climbs. It just takes the excitement and the sense of simulation and management and rips it apart.

It’s like they decided to make Pro Team Mode with no ambitions at all. As it is now, whey would be better of if they just did not make it at all, and spent the time on polishing some of the other bugs in the game instead. They could have made a killer game mode, a great selling point, and who knows, maybe a good review score for a change?

In general there has never been any ambition with the TDF games at all. It’s like the organizers and owners of Tour de France gave them the contract and the finance to do it, and then Cyanide just did the minimal required to make some sales of the game. No innovation, no ambition and even no serious bug testing. They release it, and then they stop thinking about it until it’s time to copy/paste the game code and make a “new game”.

i 100% agree with you, sadly..

Waste of money so far

I totally agree with everything you say about the game. Cyanide is resting on their laurels watching over the years and have no TDF makes progress and advancement, as each year is almost a cut and paste from the previous year and even over buggy which never give corresponding assistance, but that if every year in our bank account we have -50 Euros.

The cyclists cloned into the Pro Team Mode is a huge mistake that makes no sense, this takes away a lot of appeal to this mode. Also another error thus is the force you to select a certain number of runners in each specialty Mountains, hills and so on, when in fact a Team Manager has complete freedom to select their brokers regardless of the specialty in which stand . You also can sign all cyclists as if they have low ratings do not appear to buy. Jerseys very limited options to select to personalize your computer. Also mention that the earpiece is not working correctly, the pause the game, sprinting in the peloton and other ongoing situations erasing all orders you have placed.

The game does not offer any new Ps4 change from your Ps3 version, or motorbikes, cars, helicopter, stages with rain, the bodies of 198 riders is the same. Absolutely nothing new to invite you to think you have an overhead console, is the same game seen nothing but 1080p.

I wonder when we will offer a game of truth, not as a reduction of accelerated scale with Pro Team Mode where players progress at their level, injured, will retire according tanscurriendo seasons. A Pro Team really Mode where we can take a team of UCI Pro Tour, Continental Pro or Continental, these teams also like the user as Colombia Team, Androni Giocattoli, MTN Qubeka, Efapel, Caja Rural and thus to complete a long list equipment that should appear in the game, because also like users who would want to play with them. A real Pro Team mode with your actual calendar and all its different tests, Giro, Vuelta, Tour of Poland and also to complete the marathon cycling calendar year. Cyanide When a game so his full Career Mode?, as FIFA have, NBA, MLB and all other sports games that are in the video game market.

Hopefully hear our complaints and we can offer all these and more into the game in a short period of time, otherwise I do not see much of a future to play because each year offers the same and the end user got tired of waiting and will give back to the game. Because going to step the evolution of the game, and I think our grandchildren will have the game with all these options.
