Doping could be very realistic if done right and the possibility of getting caught + having to invest in drugs without a high chance of getting tested, which cost more money. Or just play it safe and don't do drugs. Could be a great mechanic. No joke.
Seriously?
Investing in drugs. Like what. You are a PCT team and thus if you invest in drugs you will always be caught. But if you're Sky you won't get caught until everyone that doped has retired?? Lol
I honestly think it's a great idea. Obviously it would have to be implemented very well.

I wasn't exactly thinking about doping, more a sudden breakthrough and sudden drops/increases in stats instead of the slow, steady and forseeable ones in PCM.
But doping could be nice, if implemented properly. |

1) regarding riders perfoming bad in some seasons and great in others:
that problem would be easy to fix if just the "morale" worked in PCM, its gonna work in my game and the psychological stats will determine how easy a rider will get a bad morale and thus perform worse.
This will be stats independent, so he might ride like crap for 3 seasons untill he finds the right team that can bring him back. This is cycling 101 and will of course be present in the game 
2) regarding doping:
I know its a much requested feature and i myself have thought about it and the fun it might infuse into career mode. That said i doubt doping will make it into the first game, so many other great features that will do more for the career mode and experience than doping |

Hey there T-Photon, I like the idea of your game very much! I've got some suggestions on features that would be awesome to have:
- open stats are a must-have, I want to be able to edit all I want.
- being able to control more than one team in career mode, so that I'd be able to play with friends
- having a development team for a World Tour team, which automatically work together, i.e. the concept of RadioShack / Trek Factory and the Leopard Trek Conti Team
- being able to 3D race all National Championships, not only the few you have in PCM
- having the option of loan deals. Send young talents on loan to a smaller team for a year where they can develop so that they can help you afterwards
- rider reincarnation (just like in EA's Football Manager) - riders that retire return as 17-year-old talent in the U23. Would be a shame to lose 40-year-old legends after only 1-2 seasons.
Maybe I'll find some more ideas |

You certainly for a project on your hands. However it looks promising for sure. If built to a good enough level Kickstarter should come very handy.
Also shows that community alway should be listened, some great ideas, and then sometimes totally ignored too

Yeah thats the plan, right now we are developing a working prototype and then we will try to build trust between us as developers and you as the community.. This will be done by:
1) showing of the project
2) giving status reports during the year so everyone can see the game being brought to life.
3) having me or some other developer be present at the forums to communicate with the community on a regular basis.
Then we will try to run a kickstarter campaign sometime in 2015
Without a publisher we as developers are free to communicate how and when we want with the community. I would prefer to keep it that way.

allright lets wrap up the last batch of suggestions:
- Riders having bad seasons, being unstable / having low morale
- doping
- Open stats, editable from an editor and viewable in-game
- Multiplayer Career Mode (i like the idea, and this is probably the way i would do multiplayer for a possible sequel)
- having all nationals playable
- Trading talents with other teams (not happening in real life and not happening here)
- Rider reincarnation (interesting concept, might look at it)

But please make rider reincarnation optional.

The "no" on loans is a pity but the rest is OK all in all. Looking forward! Thanks for the info. The game will surely be awesome

For quick sim when you just go through races in seconds is it possible to have more realistic results, ive had it happen where a guy who is not near GT podium quality comes 3rd in a GT after multiple successful breakaways where he gets like 13/14 minutes. Its simply stupid.
About racing all NationalChamps, its absolutely necessary. And with National TT champs for lesser countries, i want events for them too not just the main few.

I like the rider reincarnation idea.
How does it work?
Does the rider have the same name or is it just things like nationality and rider type that's the same? |

@T-Photon - I'm sure I will 
@Matthew21rp - Usually it's the same name and nationality, as far as I know |

You will get the full package, RR and TT for each nationals. Then you get to coach your nation at the worlds and every fourth year at the Olympics
There will be no detailed Simulation, but i can promise you a quick sim that is a ton more accurate than the one Cyanide made for PCM - actually i dont think they ever changed their sim algorithms, they probably came up 10 years ago in CM2 or something and stayed the same through each iteration.

are you planning on using a real calender, with teh races changing dates so they are always on the same day of the week or will you be using a generic calender like pcm's?
and if the latter will we see Leap days included on the appropriate years?

I think it would be cool if they didn't have the same names. That would mean you would have to look out for riders that are reincarnations who would go on the be like there predecessor. |

But with other names it won't be a reincarnation, it would just be a generic new talent with similar skills, so that would be somewhat pointless  |

I know what you mean but if they had the same names wouldn't it make it too easy to build a great team of young talents who will end up becoming amazing? |
