I played all the PCM games and I find the "pro carrer mode" the most interesting thing about this game atm..

Is this year edition better than the last? Yes, at some points did they improve the game alittle, but nothing major.
Did they fix alot problems from last year? Some, but not all of th know problems.
Did they create an unstable game, almost unplayable game? Yes

Worth buying? No

Did you feel you bought a new game? No, seems more like an DLC or patch..

Worth buying @ 10-15 euro

In their infinite wisdom, Cyanide has decided that you need to create a multiplayer account outside of steam before you can play the game.
If that is not enough to turn you off this game, their servers seem to be down making it impossible to create said account breaking the single player over a "feature" that has no value or use in single player.

Update: The issue is now fixed .

Great game, Just a little dissapointed that you can't break the bike and run the climb instead.

I don't normally do Reviews. But this one I thought i needed to as they are about to relaese a new version of this game.

Firstly, I am a massive cycling fan and I ONLY recommend this for massive cycling fans and ONLY for the Be a Pro mode. Although i do play career mode, there just isnt enough content in it to recommend it. After being a lifelong player of game like Football Manager, this career mode isseriously bland and there is little depth too it.

I realise it doesnt have the same budget as a game like FM, but small improvements could be made to make it more realistic, like the BIG stars not moving teams every year, and the teams chaning strip and sponsors EVERY year etc. On that, there is no license, thank ♥♥♥♥ for the guys who make real world names/jerseys/stats etc. Without the workshop content, i would not play this game.

CRASHES CRASHES CRASHES.... and not the bike kind... this game crashes more than any game i have ever played before. Even the pop up to report the crash.... crashes. I ♥♥♥♥ you not. These crashes have literally happen on the same race/stage EVERY time you try to play it, it is completely unacceptable for them NOT to have fixed these.

In saying that though, this is all we cycling fans have. I have over 200hrs in the game and will probably put in another 200 before i buy the next one. In itself, it is a reat game, and the Be A Pro mode makes you want to keep playing to better your rider so you can take on the big boys and the big races.

I will buy the next version of the game when its out in the blind hope that they place more depth into the Be A Pro mode, as the career mode hasnt changed in 4 or 5 years. Heres hoping.

If you are a cycling nerd then i recommend. If you are a fan of "manager" type games, then i DO NOT recommend this game as there are simply too many bugs and not enough depth.

Accidentally misclicked and played Pro Cycling Manager 2006 for a whole day.

Didn't notice the difference.

Great, great game.

Pros:

- Better AI (mountain, sprints, etc).
- Better graphics
- Better Multiplayer than previous PCMs.
- New HUD in race.
- Steam Workshop

Cons:

- Some bugs in sprints
- Some crashes

This game is improving every year. I like it :D

Same old terrible commentary, in-race graphics, glitches upon increasing speed of game, etc. What's new is the menu system and the music. neither are for the better.

I started two save games and lost them both after the game crashed.

If you believe that football manager has a hard time improving and developing their product - you'll be shocked at how bad pro cycling manager do the same thing. This is basically the same game that's been issued for 7 consecutive years, with a few (wrong) names added and attributes updates. I feel scammed, and can't seem to get a refund.

So, we are now four days after the release of the game, and I still can't play it, because it crashes when I want to play it. We know full well that Cyanide has a lot of bugs when releasing new games (and I should know it, I have played all the PCM and CM games before!), but this is at a whole new level.

How can a game just randomly crash because you try to launch it? I really hope that I can write another evaluation later, after actually playing the game, but will I even get that chance?

After 10+ years in the business cyanide is still unable to deal with CTD.

- start a custom career with underdog team.
- play season until TDF
- play TDF for ages with team captain fighting around 20th place in GC
- attack in 20th stage with team captain and 2 team mates, win by 10+ minutes ahead of bunch
- eagerly awaiting where am i in GC

CTD !!

Cyanide, you suck. Simple as that. Pro cycling manager is the most buggy game of this century and this hasnt improved in 10 years.

Playing this game was infuriating. On first day I played an hour and had +15 crashes. Sometimes by just clicking a menu button like load. Then when sending the crash report their servers just didn't work.

Then next day I played for another hour managing to play the 3 pro cyclist intro races and it was exactly like last year. For real, there is absolutely nothing new about this game. Career mode is exactly the same as PCM 2015. I did not even play a stage because while planning the season it crashed several time and as this game is BS it doesn't save changes until you advance a day or go to the menu, my god, who thought that would be a good idea when you have to cross your fingers every time you press a menu button on this game. Absolute garbage, I've been buying this game since 2007 and I can't stand it anymore, got a refund and will skip this version entirely. Don't recommend at all if you have any PCM that's 2011+
