Pro Cycling Manager 2022 - Available June 9!Mar 24, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsHello Managers! Combining management and real-time racing, Pro Cycling Manager puts you into the shoes of a sports director. Scouting, recruitment, sponsor management, training and race strategies are all tasks the director must do to reach the very top of the sport. This new edition has over 260 races and 680 stages, including the 21 official stages of the 2022 Tour de France. Pro Cycling Manager 2022 will be available on June 9, add it to your wishlist now! 2022 Features Pro Cycling Manager 2022 makes you a sport director. Make all the decisions necessary to take your team to the top: your responsibilities include recruitment, planning objectives and race programmes, sponsor management, scouting future talent, training, race strategy and much more. You can also create your own rider in Pro Cyclist mode. Join a team and prove you can be the leader, then do what it takes to shine in the peloton. Can you rise to become one of the best? Pro Cycling Manager 2022 lets you compete against players from around the world in online mode. New talent scouting system A more energetic and attacking peloton More options for customising your game experience An easier-to-use interface (new Cyclist page) Redesigned stamina and resistance system The 21 official stages of the 2022 Tour de France NEW SCOUTING SYSTEM A good sport director must know how to recruit future talent, which is why we have set up a new scouting system. You have to send your scouts to different regions in order to uncover the best talent. Your scouts become more effective and improve over time. They regularly send you information (about potential, characteristics, etc.) which you use to make your choices (observation, integration in the development team, etc.) so you can learn more about the riders. You are, of course, in direct competition with the other teams. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40213742/29bda411324226b13fa1ec36a7f89dd4baa78f0f.png NEW GENERATION OF RIDERS This new system is based on the level and potential of the young cyclists, using a 6-star grading system. Now the young riders who are created are juniors from 16 to 18 years old, with the pool comprised of 1,500 to 2,000 young cyclists each year (3 times more than before). These new riders will be more versatile and will develop similarly to the current stars. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40213742/26f3a2a15459ccca9a1bb6e85f72b08ad2e56c85.png RIDER DEVELOPMENT Just like with the young talent, we want to have more versatile riders, so the development system has been redesigned to take this into account. It is also critical for your riders to perfectly integrate the team, establishing a good relationship with the coach, or they will not progress optimally. MORE VARIED RACE In Pro Cycling Manager 2022, thanks to a more varied peloton, you experience scenarios that are different from the usual blueprint of a Tour stage, for example. You can find yourself in a race that is action-packed from the start, with favourites taking the lead, and a variety of a...Patch Notes - Version 1.0.6.2Feb 16, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings Managers! The 2022 road cycling season has just begun; game mods have been amended, and so it's time to release an update that covers several aspects of Pro Cycling Manager 2021: Patch Notes 1. Leaders' participation in Grand Tours We have improved the allocation of objectives, particularly for the Grand Tours (France, Spain and Italy): We fixed a problem where, in certain cases, some team leaders took no Grand Tour objective and thus did not take part in these races. We have re-balanced the participation in the Grand Tours, where Spain and Italy were weaker than France. In general, a better balance in the choice of objectives for all riders.Developers' comment: changes impact games that have already started, but since the calculation of objectives is made at the start of a new season, changes will only take effect the following season. For example, if your game is in January, February, July... 2023, changes will only be visible in the 2024 season. 2. Improvement to race planning Race planning AI has been tweaked, especially for team leaders. Better balance of race days during the season: in general, leaders have fewer race days. Adjustment to AI behaviour that favoured the selection of the best riders to complete a squad when one or several riders were missing. Greater chance of the best riders taking part in World Tour stage races, such as Paris-Nice, Dauphiné and other week-long stage races. Less chance of the best riders taking part in less prestigious races, such as Tour of Turkey, Tour of Guangxi...Developers' comment: changes made to race planning AI have immediate effect 3. Recovery during stage races Correction of a bug that prevented the mechanism from working properly, with freshness stuck on "Excellent" in stage races. Improvements to evolution of freshness by taking the Recovery attribute more into account and adding increased granularity, with 7 levels of freshness instead of 5: Excellent, Very Good, Good, Average, Mediocre, Bad, Very Bad. Developers' comment: changes made to freshness have immediate effect. 4. Multiplayer pause Addition of a pause to non-ladder multiplayer games: the host can use the "-" (minus) key to slow down the speed of the game to 0 in order to initiate a pause. Important note: Caution! The "P" keyboard shortcut is no longer active in this case. 5. Correction of a display bug in the team interface The display of the number of times a team has taken part in the Liège-Bastogne-Liège race was incorrect on the Team page.
