I know I'm a little late in terms of stopping this - but please do make a new thread about late e-mails etc.
This thread is for first impressions of the game, not your problems before getting the game  |

God, complaining about some freaking shitty hours. I will only get mine tomorrow, after my chemistry exam, and I won't even be able to play it until god damn sunday night. So, most of you are in a better position than most players that will have to buy the game maybe in a week from their local stores and you are complaining? Jesus!! |

I've stopped as now i've got it  Still passed complaints onto Focus though...
One other observation... It's huge!! 11GB for a game  Totally missed that part...

So, have PCM always had more motion blur than the Need For Speed games?

When I try to activate the game, it says: Automatic activation failed
What to do? I have internet connection, and nothing should be wrong. I tried to copy the code from the mail, write it by my own, without "-" and so on.. |

I had PCM11. That didn't give me a bloody headache.
But at least my ancient computer can run the game without catching on fire, so it's already better than PCM07!

I've never used motion blur on PCM. It looks retarded. If something is not realistic it's stupid.

Other than that, try to disable your anti-virus before activating. Also try to run the game as admin. |

In my mail I only got one code, called "Activation Key".. I both copied that, and typed it by my own - without any success.
I tried run as admin, checked my firewall and anti-virus program, but the game were "Allowed" (Or what you called it), and the same happened when I tried as admin.
There is a offline-mode, but I´m not quite sure, how it works..
I downloaded the game by the 5 links, if that´s make any differents.

Is it possible to lock the camera angle? I choose the angle I want, but when I select or click on a rider, the camera angle changes. I wasn't like this earlier if I remember correctley. |

Stage editor now has the option to choose the Flat/Hill/Mountain rating of a stage. As well as all the other things like time gaps, uphill sprint ratio and mountain ratio.
The single most frustrating non-gameplay element of PCM12 has been fixed Going to be a good ManGame season next year 
What about wind and his direction? Find it pretty annoying that it disappears!! |

Thanks to people for complaining about the few hours where they can't play a game... I hope to read 10 pages about the game not how to order it, as i'm not conviced to buy the game I was hoping some feedback from you! So now if you have the game tell us how it's great this year and not a copy from PCM 12
BTW thanks to Crue True that make a feedback on mountain stage |

Really looking forward to reading about other pcm´ers first impression of the game. Especially excited about the mountain stageds and the gameplay. The training/season planning for ai. the new recovery which negates atttacking all day every day.,
Mountain stages are great, I already played a few of those AI makes good decisions and peloton gets ripped to pieces when you turn the heat on. Attacks actually work, too.
Recovery during a stage race is pretty good, too, with a combination of freshness, recovery and rhythm!
once again thanks.
i know you havent played THAT much yet,but am i right in assuming,that you see the game as much more playable from the release,then the majority of other versions? Perhaps the most playable version?
are youplaying on hard or extreme btw? Sounds like the ai has been improved and if the ai is able to use the new traing/objective thing properly, then its quite a step in the right direction |

In my opinion, the first patch release is already more playable than PCM 12 wiith all patches So far, I must add!
I play on hard. But the AI stays the same in every difficulty |
