Changelog: Race Sprints improvements: AI team trains are now better organized, making sprints more challenging. Fixed a bug causing riders to start their sprint too late when low on yellow energy (especially in breakaways or small groups). Sprinters now lose more speed when running out of red energy during a sprint. Fixed bugs that made sprints harder for players against AI. Fix several physical and energetical bugs. Selectivity Enhancements: Races are now more selective, especially hilly classics (e.g., Liège-Bastogne-Liège) and medium mountain/mountain races (e.g., Il Lombardia, Tour de France MO stages). Improvements to race physics and the energy system, with a bigger impact for low END attributes. Slightly increased watts difference between top riders and average riders for attacks and very high efforts. AI now sets stronger tempo on hilly or mountainous classics with challenging second halves. Leaders may also behave more aggressively. Fixed bugs that reduced leaders’ willingness to attack in situations where it was appropriate. Freshness: Freshness now decreases more rapidly over consecutive race days. Career Add financial bonuses from sponsors in cases of good performances. For Continental Pro and Continental Teams only. 1st case: either by a good team ranking on July 31st (early budget boost). 2nd case: good team index in september (late budget boost). 3rd case: division up (next year budget boost. from Conti to Conti Pro, or from Conti Pro to World Tour). Once again, thank you to everyone who tested the Open Beta and took the time to provide feedback and report bugs. The PCM Team.

Join-us: Facebook Twitter Instagram Official Discord Server Nacon's TikTokPatch 7Oct 14, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone, A new patch for Pro Cycling Manager 2024 is now available! Version 01.06.02 Race More differences between climbers and non-climbers for better selection in hills, medium mountains, and mountain stages. Fix: Sometimes mountain stages in the Tour are ridden at a slow pace except for the last few kilometers, resulting in a non-selective stage with low-stat (mountain) riders hanging on and losing little time to leaders/pure climbers. Fix: About 20 km from the finish of a flat stage, trains often break away from the peloton. Fix: Hill stages: sometimes leaders' teams didn’t set a sufficient pace approaching the finish. Fix: During sprints, non-sprinter teammates were occasionally faster than top sprinters. Fix: Sometimes the first rider to launch a sprint is not followed, with each rider doing their own sprint independently. Improvement: Better teammate management for leaders on mountain stages (basic teammates were sometimes replaced too soon by top climbers). Improvement: Teams with a top leader (e.g., Pogi, Vingegaard) now use top puncheurs as domestiques in hilly stages instead of giving them stage-win roles. Improvement: AI sprinters now start their sprint slightly later. Improved teammate selection for basic work in early mountain stages for super teams, preserving the best climbers. Fixes/Improvements: Several minor AI behavior tweaks. Datas Added 2024 race route for “Il Lombardia”. Added missing jerseys/mini-jerseys for a few sponsors. Career Fix: Visibility points for the last stage of a tour were not accounted for (only final general classification). Fix: AI teams didn’t renew multi-sponsor deals. They can now renew all sponsors (though they can still retain just one for variety). Fix: Database size increased too much each season, slowing the game, and in rare cases (15+ seasons with mods of 200-300 teams), it became too large to load. Low-potential free agents now have a higher chance of leaving on January 1st (depending on age and potential). Fix: To avoid further issues, a maximum of 10,000 to 13,000 cyclists has been set (depending on the number of teams in the DB). If this limit is reached, only free agents with low potential will be ejected. Pro Cyclist Fix: Revelation of teammates' attributes through seasons was very slow, despite the information skill being at max level. Various Fix: "Grand Slam" and "Pantheon" achievements were unlocking when an AI rider/team achieved them (they should only unlock for human players). The PCM 2024 Team.

Version 01.03.02 Fixed sprint train, the problem with the ACCELERATION attribute: When the next rider in the train started sprinting, he took a long time to reach his max power, so he went slower than his pilot who already reached his max. The time to reach the max power was decreased, to fix the issue. Fixed sprints in auto mode. In bunch sprints, with player's team on auto, sometimes sprinter was left alone. Fixed ai sprint, sprinters were losing too often their sprint train Update localization The PCM 2024 Team. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2494350/Pro_Cycling_Manager_2024/ Join-us: Facebook Twitter Instagram Official Discord Server Nacon's TikTokDevtalk - The SprintsJun 28, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsDear players, We'd like to give you a few explanations about Sprints in PCM 24. Regarding what is called the "sprint bug" This is the sprinter who is in the wheel of his lead-out man and who falls slightly behind when starting his sprint. This is something we're looking after. It was not integrated into patch 2 (Open Beta since June 27th) because it is not a simple fix to do and we explain why: Investigations showed it's not a new problem, but the cause has been in the game for several years. This does not mean the problem was necessarily as visible, because as always any other effect may have influence on that and could either soften or make it worse. The cause is essentially a problem from the "Acceleration" attribute and how it's utilized in the engine. When you are well protected in the wheel of your pilot and he still has red energy, and suddenly you start your sprint: you have kind of a double penalty: Wind effect: sprinter loses wind protection. ACC effect: sprinter takes some time to reach max power (depending on ACC's value). So while your pilot is at maximum or nearly maximum power, you have your sprinter far from his maximum value AND penalized by the wind : this is enough for him to lose a few meters to his pilot, instead of passing him directly as you would expect! The lower the ACC value is for the sprinter, the more we see the problem. Regarding the Wind effect, not many things to say, it is the desired behavior. Regarding ACC effect, the actual timing to reach maximum power is probably too long and it's the heart of the problem here. What we’re working on actually is to diminish the time to reach this maximum power, and it has a clear positive effect on that problem. First minor side-effect is that the ACC attribute will be less important, but it could be acceptable (and we can say it was maybe too important). Another side-effect consequence is that it changes the sprint’s dynamic: red energy no longer empties in the same way. It's good to remember that it's not a simple system but a complex one with lots of data and actors. So we need to test, ensure we do not make things worse than it was. It's clearly easier to break the system than make it a bit better. To end on a positive note, as we publish this news, we have a fix already well advanced, internal testing is underway and we hope to be able to release a patch for this issue next week.

AI (Inrace Sprints) Tweak: modification of collision condition for sprint (now a 6+ % slope also desactivate collisions in the last 5 km when there are important curves). AI improvement: on hill stages with a flat finish, sprinters who survives the climbs uses their teams to control the finish. Sprint trains improvements: 1) sprint trains were sometimes too slow and often only with one teammate instead of a full train, 2) when a rider in the sprint train had no more red energy the next one did always not took the relay 3) sometimes a rider that should participate in the sprint's train did not. AI (Others) A rider in the breakaway is not considered dangerous enough by the peloton. His time lead in the stage is not taken into account to compute his dangerosity. When the protector runs out of yellow energy, it begins to zigzag Sponsors Added: During interseason (October 25 - December 31), player has edit tools to change his team's identity (Sponsor's page). Modding : a sponsor without existing jersey cannot be the main sponsor anymore Increases the chances of increasing the budget of contracts that extend Add possibility to the current sponsor to extend contract Send news to inform the team of the next budget at the opening of the market rather than intersession Add news before the last contract offer to inform the player that he soon has more offers The duration of new contracts can be greater than 1 year Fixed visibility objectives not being registered when lesser than the target Failed objectives are marked “In Progress” when we pass October 21 Race Center Added: display sprint bonuses and results Added: display multiplayer info ProCyclist Fixed multiple bugs/exploits when leaving the calendar without validating Various Fix Team Time Trial classification : only leader was counting Fteam achievement “10 objectives” was impossible to get Fixed corrupted saves by alt-f4 during or after the race Fixed weird time gaps in classification after a 3d race Fixed number of wins achieved in Tour de France was miscounted At the end of the season it shows incorrect injury durations in the Squad tab Fixed Crash when moving the mouse over the last point of the minimaps Fixed shortcut it is now possible to make a time gap between two riders The PCM 2024 Team. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2494350/Pro_Cycling_Manager_2024/ Join-us: Facebook Twitter Instagram Official Discord Server Nacon's TikTokFirst patchJun 18, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsCyclist friends and bike fans, The first patch for PCM 2024 is now available for everyone!
