 The Nordic supplier of the Pro Cycling Manager games have added a page to their website for PCM12, confirming details for the game that is said to be released on the 29th June.
It contains the details that will presumably be shown on the back of the cover, and many of it is information that we have already learnt will be involved with the game.
For the career mode, more teams and races are included to accomodate the new division added to the game, while work has been done on a season planner, young riders and training camps that allow you to preview major Grand Tour stages.
In the 3D mode, the game interface has been redesigned and improvement have been made to the AI - while it appears that it will now be possible to play National Championships outside of Career mode.
CAREER
