Actually it is. I play FIFA but don't play Football manager. And on FIFA I play almost only manager career mode. I don't want extremely complicated manager options. I want working AI, and the game to be as close to realism as possible.

Idea: trains up a hill
Explanation of idea: instead of just having trains for your leader on a flat finish 18km from the line, have your leader protected up a climb by 3 riders or 4 and they burn out one by one like team sky or astana in REAL CYCLING
Why: because when one of your domestiques burns out your next domestique spends so much effort trying to get in to position to protect the leader

Idea: Change the wildcard system
Explanation of idea: the parameter for the teams applying and the wildcards given should be changed...
Why: Some wildcard decisions are just curious...for example in my Bora career Southeast got a Tour de France wildcard, which are one of the weakest sides in the PCT. Also Drapac not getting one for the Tour Down Under but getting one for the Vuelta Pais Vasco seems strange.
Also only three teams applying for the Vuelta is really annoying, especially Caja Rural should at least try to get one.
 
Croatia14
Idea: Edit time gaps
Explanation of Idea: You should be able to change the time gaps easier. For example by giving the possibility to setthe gap for each flat, hill and mountain stage for all races at once.
Why: It would races with downhill finishes a lot more fun. Races like the Tour of Qatar will also be much more fun. GCs without mountains will be a lot more mixed up.
 
Croatia14
Idea: available follow button for the whole race
Explanation of the Idea: -
Why: Tactically it would be interesting if you can mark a rider for the race, especially as a race leader or up the mountain .

It's really weird that this isn't included. Especially since it works in flat sprints. Shouldn't just be a question of "copying" the code (says the guy who sees programming as magic)?
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

Idea: Signing changes
Explanation of the Idea: Contract extensions and free agents should be available for the whole season. Young riders should also get pre-contracted as staigaires before. The teams that have a developement team should at least have a pre-option to sign their riders. Regional or age focus for teams should be stronger for teams than now. Signings should depend also on the future on teams, teams looking forward to get promotion should sign riders strong enough for the higher division.
Why:
Contract extension: Teams are mixed up too much in career mode. Especially after season 2 where most of the riders get free agents most teams have no identity anymore.
Free agents: Obviously teams sign free riders while the season is running due to injuries. Mostly conti-teams but also riders like Keizer, S.Sanchez and lately Vliegen.
Young riders: Pre-contracting staigaires makes season planning much easier. They are also announced much earlier than real transfers (f.e. Eiking to FDJ).
Developement Teams: Why would you have a dev team if you don´t sign riders from them. Teams should have a higher rate of signing riders from their developement than other teams. The young riders should be more loyal and sign with their main team easier than with others.
Regional focus: Especially with teams like Colombia, Bardiani and FDJ as examples teams like this should have a higher rate of foreign riders. This goes with point one, these teams lose their style to identify with.
Age focus: Mostly for CT-Teams. Some of them sign mostly young riders of their own country to develope them (LKT, Joker, Sparebanken, Adria, Stölting, Rabobank,...). This gets completely lost after some seasons.
Future focus: After some years in career mode it is annoying that mainly teams that get promotion will get relegated the next year straight away. This is of course caused by the weaker riders they have. They must be extremely lucky to hold a divion for one year. If they do once, they have chances to stay that strong, because they than sign stronger riders. Most time a team getting promoted in the first season (f.e. Cofidis) gets weaker in the second season when they are in the WT, beacuse they couldn´t sign strong riders due to their division. The next season after they get relegated they have a stronger team than before, because they could sign WT-level riders in their WT year. It´s like a circle with the same teams gettin promoted and relegated one year after the other. The other way round it´s the same, relegated teams are much stronger than the teams in the division they get relegated in. Same goes for PCT- and CT-level promotion and relegation. (Mostly occured at IAM, Cofidis, LottoNL-Jumbo, Bardiani, Optum, Roubaix-Lille,...)

Programming is magic Pfft

But to answer your question, yes it is just a matter of copying the code and then maybe change a few things, depending on the code they use for trains on flat stages.

Idea:Better time gap
explanation:Sometimes riders finish ten seconds behind you( on the timer ) but then they get counted with the same time like you

Why: Would make smaller stage races more interesting

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Co Sponsors: Allows to sign co sponsors
explanation : would bring more realism
 
AustrianChamp
Idea: No equipment changes for bmc racing team, trek factory, cannondale ...
explanation: This teams should not be able to change their bikes till theres a new main sponsor

Why: i had seasons where bmc suddenly had scott bikes ore lampre merida had pinarello

idea: real staff for teams
Explanation:Bramatti, Baffi and co should be already in the team.
I play with trek fr and i hate peter letherman
Why: you dont have to sign ds's you dont know
 
AustrianChamp
Idea: Realistic names for talent riders
Explanation: Names for the riders should be like they are in real life. Not like erik Früstuck(Früstück means breakfest in german)
Why: No problems with unpronouncable name in your 2021s season
 
AustrianChamp
IdeaGrinisable sponsor goals
Explanation: delete sponsor goals. sometimes they are unreachable
Why:they dont exist in real life in that way
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Idea: better calender for riders
Explanation: If a team start, for example in the tour of qatqr and the tour of oman, or the utah tour and the usa pro challange(whats very common), they should start with almost the same riders
Why: i've never seen a team starting with two totally different line ups in the above mentioned races
 
AustrianChamp
Idea:wind edges??crosswind??(windkanten)I dont know how it's called in english
Why :it makes races unpredictable. In comparison with better time gaps it would be really cool

Idea: Real speed for TT
Explanation: I think is pretty known that riders are doing 55kms/h as average in flat TT. PCM has not updated that in the last versions.
Why: Because is real cycling, and I don't like to play a game that shows Tony Martin riding a flat 46kms TT in one hour.

This apply also for normal stages. Top speeds should be elevated. Downhilling speeds never go up of 60 kms/h, Peloton chasing breakaways at high rates never goes up of 48 kms/h and sprints speeds never go up to 60kms/h

this is due to the fact that the game roads are in a scale of 1:10 if im not mistaken which is a bit of a mess for programming

While I generally agree, I hate to report that I got curious and found that there actually are a few people around called Früstück or Frühstück.

Well I can help you out of your dreams.

Cyanide would have to higher 15 new stagemakers to realise this, and also 5 new statmakers to add all those new teams and riders and give them decent stats.

Who is going to pay for that? Pfft

It´s a shame that you pay 30-40 € for a game and you miss a lot of races.

also teams.
