They could get some tips on the race news idea from cycling simulator. Even they're better with it!

If a rider asks you to relay in the break, maybe have them showing their frustration.
Ah, just remembered about one I've always wanted.. possibility to ask the other freakin' riders to relay as well. It's already implemented in the console game I think, I believe it wouldn't be that hard to port at least this to the PC game. It'd be good if you could define some sort of 'hardness' of the pace.
Or, instead of giving this possibility, just make them relay, damit. Breakaways work about fine, but when it comes to breaking away with other favorites in races like classics... impossible, at least for me, to have them work as well (unless there's someone ahead of you).

Make it so that teams with bigger budgets like Sky and Garmin have their riders improving more/quicker than a team like Team MTN or Sparta Praha.
I believe it's already like this, with the difference of trainers? In DYN_coach of a savegame you can see the trainers of each team, then compare big teams with small teams to see if the big teams have indeed better trainers.

First they should call it Pro Cycling Racer/Simulator
They shouldn't overhaul manager parts
They should just start again from scratch, and do some full research into what the community wants.
I could list everything, or i'll simplify it to; copy FM, they do it very well
On the race side. Attacking uphill works. Attacking in cobbles works. Crashes and mechanicals in tt's and just more in general. Otherwise, for me, the racing is very good. Maybe some sections in 1:1, but i dont think that would work in the same engine...

I just remembered, they should make the game scale 1:1 but have the possibility to raise the game speed to x50 instead of x8 being the highest. That way stages still wouldn't take so long, but the results would seem so much better. This would be like the Eurotour game.
It would be killer on any crappy PC though.....

they would need a whole new engine to make it work properly
or they could make more races for the console game

I can't understand why people want 1:1 scale, it is not funny to watch 7 hours straight of a stage anyways even if you had the option to fast forward at 50x speed.
maybe a slightly smaller scale to give som more time for action on the road but honestly I don't think we need 10 times more racing to see som fun gameplay in the game

And it would be so fun to create a stage for that
The console game is running down the so wanted '1:1 scale' (1:2 actually, but anyway), and the so wanted 'Be a Pro' mode. I'd say these are never making the PC, and if I ever buy a console this would probably be one of the reasons

One thing that I hate in this year's TDF game is the attacking motion of the riders in the mountains. It is so crappy. Last year it had a more aggressive style. |

Here are some suggestions:
Cyanide MUST listen to the community !!!
What does it mean to ask for suggestions for PCM 2012, if they aren´t to much interested in that?
...and here is another one:
Community would appreciate to much if the game was complete less than a month after his release, is unacceptable that even has not left the last patch correcting the errors.
Make suggestions or asking for improvemments is a waste of time, they do not listen to their community.

I would rather have realistic gameplay over "fun" gameplay. And if there was an option such as x60, it would make the stage go by quicker during the boring parts anyway.
I would be fine if each stage took 30mins. 1:1 we wouldn't see tiny bumps with 3km to go, making the hilly riders win a flat stage, opposed to the sprinters that win it in real life because they dont start their sprint at 3km, but 300m.

Making the stage editor a bit more simplistic would also help
There is nothing worse than when you check your stage to find over 100 problems need sorting 
Maybe something that could self-right the problems would be a great help |

How bought making it easier to make a race once you have made the stage? Instead of diving into an editor.

Make the game properly playable at least month after the realease, just this and i will be happy!! When this is settled, nice features people mentioned here could be implemented.
What i would like the most from suggestions is:
- managment part overhaul (complete shite now)
- new/more animations for riders
- proper equipment which is functional
- new stats for gradients/general recovery
- riders personalities
- race news, or more e-mails that makes sense
- better in game race planner (race days...)
- more tactical options in the race, mainly in breakaways
And many more which were suggested like 2-3 years now and never were taken into consideration.
Edit: I forgot one important thing, change that horrible abyssmal GUI in races and also in menu, i have never seen worse in any game.

Totally agree with this, there is nothing worse than buying the game and finding that it won't work properly because they didn't implement everything they promised and so have to wait for patches to be made |

That will never happen. If there's one thing I'm sure of, then that's it.
Works fine to run through Bootcamp btw.

I would really appreciate it when you could ask for a coloboration. when you can win the GC and another rider can win the stage, you can ask to help you when he gets the stage.
As well, ask the computer to take over in a breakaway. The computer can ask you to ride with them in the breakaway, ut you can't... |
