You're hoping for PCM 12

Great idea! I don't know how much this was discussed in this thread, but this would bring this franchise to another level, imo.

If that's true, it means they've spent a lot of time on improving pcm2012... Frown

Even though I'm not impressed by the improvements they've said they would have, I can only hope that there will be no more situations where the AI will gladly let themselves go from 2nd to 20th by not reeling in the breakaway simply because you are leading.

There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

i just hope that T. Boonen gets better stats for SPrinting and Acc he has just 77sp and 76acc com'on man... He beated everybody this year in sprints with eazz(2stages in quatar, gent-wevelgem, E3-Harelbeke...all nice sprint victories!!!)... He's back like he was in 2005-2010-->fast and explosive--> i hope they give him 80sp 78acc me and a looot of other people i know are thinking that he really deserves that!!! just somerealistique, good advice!!!! hoping it will be like that....Frown

Stats arn't really a problem since you can easily change it in the editor, if you wish. Besides, PCMDaily usually does a pretty good at correcting the stats.

I can only hope, but they have better done something about riders sprinting for 45th place. In races where you have several groups, you can very often see riders sprint like crazy just to get in the top 50. Not a big thing, but it kinda ruins the realism.

Well, well, I will be still wait a while before I buy the game, I wanna hear the reviews first. And not the ones from sites like IGN, etc. but rather from "real people".

When Cyanide announced the new multi player 'function' that kinda got me excited. Would be fun opening cycling packs like in FIFA UT. But Cyanide will probably screw this up.

Just Imagine this. You open a pack and you see IF Andy Schleck, that would be one sight Pfft

If - In Form

What are you talking about? The game will be shipped on the day of release, no matter if it has been pre-ordered or not.

I think what he ment was that he is hoping for someone who buys the game to put up a video of the gameplay, etc.

More realistic crashes !

Watching the Giro reminded me that especially on a techincal finish (as opposed to a straight run in) you often get a pile-up or at least some riders overshooting a corner. In PCM I see maybe 1 rider in 100 games go down in a sprint ... more destruction please !! Would add more meaning to the sprint options fairplay,normal,aggresive etc

I quite agree, Boonen is one hell of a sprinter. Though, Sagan just beat him 5 times in California!

They are in the PCM 12 Screenshots. They were also mentioned in the news not so long ago, but for those who didn't see them yet follow Vien's link Wink

Oh, now I see them, they're in the TdF section Grin

The website I found the link on was for the PC version though, but I guess they both use the same engine.

I would like a much bigger number of stats per rider, to make them much more different from eachother.
There should for example be a much bigger difference between a Contador that attacks in the mountain, and a Nibali or Leipheimer who just keep their tempo. My idea has been to seperate the climbing skill in another way. Instead of MO/HIL it should be one stat for how good they are at handling long uphill portions, one for how good they are at handling steep portions, and one for how they handle changes of pace.
Someone with 85-70-70 would keep up with everyone on the longest mountain, but would suffer when it got up to 10-15%, and would not be able to follow to many attacks (I guess a Wiggins would fit). Someone with 70-85-85 would be great in ardennes, but would suffer in the longer mountains (Gilbert).
If the stats were like this, it would really not be necessary to decide if it was a hill or mountainstage.

Some of the other stats i would like to see is a stat for the really dedicated helpers, who really goes above their ability to help their leaders.
Another is a stat that make some riders less likely to start a crash.

EDIT:
Almost forgot the most important one. Consistency. There is a lot of riders that are great in a few races, but also sometimes fails completly. A guy with 85 consistency would always compete at the same level, (as long as his training was right), but someone with 50 could be a world star one day, but be nowhere near the top the next.


like it!

Isn't the function of the MO/HIL-stat quite similar to what Stevenag proposed? At the moment you get just what you mean; riders like Gilbert are able to follow on short/steep climbs, but come up short when you get to the higher mountains.

I do agree when it comes to the changes of pace, but isn't that also covered to a certain degree by the fighter-stat? But that might only apply to actual attacks and only to the AI...

Not necessarily. If there's a mountain stage in which, before the big mountains come there's a 2km hill, since the HIL/MO ratio will most likely be set to 1 or similar the mountain riders will do well on the hill while the puncheurs will suffer. Likewise, a stage which has a 10 km mountain in its beginning but an ardennaise-like finish will likely have a low HIL/MO ratio, and thus riders like Gilbert could do better than pure climbers on the big climb.

Fighter is only used to define how many times the AI riders will attack (who are the most likely to go in breakaways, etc). Although if I'm not mistaken for humans it increases the possibility of your rider having a 'green' attack.

The stats proposed are a very nice idea, but think of the DB-makers, who would have to add (several) new stats for some Ks of riders (Daily DB f.e. has 3200 riders). Although some stats could be added as "special" maybe. For example, a stat to make it more or less likely a crash. First, it'd be quite ridiculous to have this stat for all riders - htf are we going to know how well do the less-known riders handle their bikes? However, it could be added like height/weight - 0 for an "average", and X for a special value. That way most riders would have 0 and only the special cases (those we actually know a real value) would have something filled in it.

I know several people have been wishing for a "bike handling-stat", but I'm against it. I think it's somewhat useless and, as you mentioned, it would be a nightmare trying to figure out the correct stat for every rider. Your would probably end up with 9 out of 10 riders at the same stat and then one anomaly.
