Fix the AI transfers making nationality a bigger factor allowing low level teams to keep a more realistic/strict focus as well as keeping the different feeling of top teams intact. Long careers are too often ruined by years of weird transfers.
Allow AI teams to fold. Perhaps even new CT teams emerging in stead of the folded one to keep the number of teams intact.
THIS!
and finally allow the freakin "Follow" button for the whole race

Well, the weird transfers are more evident in the Be a Pro. For this the generation of the young riders needs to be more accurate.

The possibility to rebind the controls, it's 2016 it should be outrageous we have to resort to a 3rd party program so we can use the keys we want.
On the subject of being 2016, its time to move off DX9, a newer API would bring a needed performance improvement as well the possibility to easily support others OS like linux (if you use Vulkan). |

Career & Pro Cyclist
Integrate track mode into regular career mode, so you have the option of being a track rider as well as a road cyclist. This is probably a big thing to implement into the game but it would be nice to see your pro cyclist compete in the Track Worlds and develop in that discipline of cycling.

Career
I would completely revamp the goals system. It should be based around a system that values exposure for the sponsor. This means that you would earn sponsor exposure from controlling the peloton, being in a break, wearing a jersey and more-so from wins. Over a course of the season the sponsor would require you to obtain a certain level of exposure (or even maintain at least a minimum level).
For me this would completely change the way you race in the game. The simple fact is that for a small team winning a stage in a grand tour is an objective, but having your jersey at the front and on tv alone (even without the win) is great exposure for them. At the same time, when you are doing well in the game having objectives to place first in every grand tour is just stupid and unrealistic.

- Chances of getting offered contracts by other teams and getting fired (you don't fullfill your goals, you get fired, etc).
- Chances of buying out rider contracts (this existed before, bringing it back would be a good idea).
- Changing rider goals mid season. (if a rider gets injured he could switch his focus to the Vuelta).
+1
- Getting our very own profile page with age, country, languages, racing style, favourite riders and especially a page with all achievements and successes with riders and team throughout our managing career. I really miss a page where I can see what I have achieved in my career.

- Being able to implement variants of shirts (just like stages) so they change one season to another. Maybe putting "sky_maillot_v2" or whatever. Almost every shirt changes every season, so it is realism.
- Also, being able to implement a shirt for a cerain race like Giant at TdF
+1
- I would like a more random or contingently approach of getting in top shape for an important race. Like in reality, it's a little bit gambling and uncertainty when it comes to the fitness level. It just different from year to year.

-Overhaul of Achievements
The achievements are boring and broken. For example the track achievements having still Beginner, Junior and Professional levels which doesn't exist for 3 years (14,15,16 years) and they are broken as well, it is impossible to get those achievements. They can be revamped easily. The pack opening and collection system is a great idea if it was included in
the Achievements. Another thing thatbis broken is the Sign a Rider achievement unable to get. Those simple achievement fixes and adding make the game more playable with steam and a big achievement of 'Completing a Game'

Career/Gameplay:
-Revamp transfers: As in Atlantuis' post teams should have realistic transfers, it's horrible that teams that should focus on one region don't stick to that but they could also be more realistic in general, different riders should have preferences of whether they go to a team for nationality, money, role within the team, division, etc. (saw something like this in local.cbd but not sure what it did), maybe (building upon hillis' point) a rider has 'friends' or countrymen already within the team which influences his decision, and bringing back a rider requesting a specific teammate would be great, it's just that the transfer market has potential for some much depth but falls so far from what is realistic.
-Increase uniqueness of riders: Preferred Weather and Preferred races are good but there could be even more factors in making riders unique, such as having different criteria for signing with a team or having friends/previous alliances as Hillis said but also:
More distinguished differences between diesel climbers and punchy climbers: some climbers attack, some ride the mountain at one pace or by the watts, some ride inconsistency, but they all ride in different ways. The fighter stat (maybe in combination with acc, hl and res) could be used to distinguish whether they want to attack, whether they do ride at one pace, or attack, or at least how they race.
Consistency of riders: Some riders should be more inconsistent and more likely to get +5/-5 days while other riders get closer to 0 most of the time.
Riders performance being influenced by nationality of team/teammates: A Belgian rider could perform slightly better or have a bit better daily form if he is on a Belgian team or has Belgian teammates at the race.
Form/Fatigue Sensitivity: Some riders (such as Valverde) can perform even though they are fatigued, or not at 100% form, others do badly at the Vuelta after racing the Tour, or aren't as good early season when they aren't at full form.
Different Rates of decline/improvement: Some riders decline faster than others, while others last to 40 still on the top level, others drop to CT and keep racing, same with young riders improving at different rates to others, some peak at 23, others 27, would be more realistic.
More Rider Details: Maybe the rider has family (brothers/cousins/parents) in the game, maybe they have specific goals (short and long-term) they'd like to achieve (perhaps in their home races or favourites races, but maybe setting records, etc.), maybe the rider retires to become a coach, trainer or team managers. Some riders have different personalities too, maybe some riders have naturally high morale, which might impact the morale of their teammates too, so much can be done to make the riders feel more realistic, particularly new gens.
- Increased uniqueness of teams: Some teams are more international, others are more based on a certain region/country, others care about TV time and having names for the sponsors, such as a (pro)conti team signing a declined star for the name. Other teams (like topsport) want to improve young talents, these could be reflected in game to increase realism.
- National Bonus: Not sure if it was ever there, but would be great if it influenced daily form or gave a small stat bonus (maybe even some riders can be more sensitive to it?)
-Improve Newly Generated Riders: Things like the types of riders, weird nationalities and weird names can be fixed in the db, but it would be nice if it was fixed - especially as it could improve how transfers work. Plus the development rates could be improved so they don't peak when they are too young.
-Lower the impact of daily form: Daily form has a little bit too high and impact on performance especially in TTs, in real life daily form means a lot, but the impact isn't quite that bit, especially TTs have usually the favourites at the top but seem more random in PCM.
---
I know not all of these can/will be implemented, but I think the game will be much more realistic and fun with these improvements, I'm just happy that Cyanide is asking for feedback, so hopefully the do something with it.
Sorry for any spelling mistakes or anything, my computer is being kind slow.

Be a Pro
A new, more interesting XP system that makes you work more in order to increase your rider's stats.
Instead of automatically earning points every week, we could be rewarded with small amounts of XP by completing additional objectives. For example:
2 XP for properly following team orders during a stage
5 XP for climbing the Mont Ventoux / Mortirolo / Angliru (etc) for the first time
20 XP for conquering (being the 1st in crossing the sprint) the Mont Ventoux / Mortirolo / Angliru (etc)
25 XP for completing a season
And so on. |

Pro Cyclist:
There was a small amount of interaction between your rider and teammates, but did not have any effect on "relationships" between your and your teammates. Maybe Cyanide can look into adding to that experience, by actually affecting whether your teammates, as well as, maybe your team director, which can have any impact on contract renewals, or even contract money. Speaking of contract money, there should be something added so that the money you earn in game can be used, either to help improve your rider, like training camps for instance, or maybe increasing the age of decline of your rider, but something, because otherwise, why even have the money in the game.
Stages:
Try and add more races from some of the major rider contributors in the world, like Colombia and South Africa.
Others:
Include more NC and NC TT races. for countries that have enough riders to compete in them. |
