Just helping our point there  Anyway, I wanted to ask some of you guys something. Should I
1) Continue my current story. I want to do this, but I just wanted to know how hard it would be to change to PCM 14, which I would need to do unless someone has a spare player key for PCM 13. Anyone?
2) Start a new one when PCM 14. I know what I'm going to do if I do this.

*Generic do what you want to do comment*
Changing a db over to a new game can be done, and it has been done before by various people. It's not a really simple task and could depend on how different the new PCM14 .cdb is from the PCM13 one. With the career changes they speak of it might not be as easy as in the past.
If you are getting PCM14 that would probably be the best option. Probably more likely to keep motivation as well as being easier to set up (idea dependent)

What if I just copy names and stats? Would that be pretty simple?

No, it's way harder than just copying names and stats. Equipment, sponsors, regions, scouts, talents, basically whole CDB needs to be changed. Not saying that it's impossible, but it's really hard.

Depends how deep he wants to make the changes. A full recreation is very hard, but getting the essence via teams and stats is easy...

What if I keep default teams and copy the names and stats though? Can't the equipment, sponsors etc. be default? Sorry if this sounds stupid - I'm no expert

True. I mean, you can just copy/paste the info for your team/rider and simulate the career to the point you came in PCM13, but well... that sucks.

I imagine it'll be tricky with getting the stat limits & potential right if you change multiple stats of various riders?

That would be even more sucky, in my honest opinion. However, it's your story, so it's your decision. Good luck with it, I'll be here to help if I can.

PCM14 story idea locked and confirmed now (apart from whether it will be PCM14 or PCM13 but whatever). If it goes according to plan it is going to be a weird hybrid if realistic personal updates and fantasy cycling set-ups. Is going to take roughly 1million hours to set up to the perfect level but i should have the chance to do so over the summer. Very exciting now i've decided on this idea over my other concept

so we can expect a story from you in 41666 days/5952 weeks/1373 months/114 years
that's quiet a bit in into the future, don't think I'll be on daily at the time it's happening

Nay in my opinion. People tend to pay more attention with pictures in the reports, and it's easier to read and more fun to read. But can work if you're a great writer. |
