Wow, 2 crashes to desktop today, dunno why.
Edit: Make that 3, two from selecting Pro Cyclist mode. Actually since downloading the new Expansion pack I can't get on Pro mode.

Hey guys. I can't remember the last PCM game I played. It was a long while back though.
So considering I'll be jumping into these updated games a newbie. Is 16 worth the purchase over 15? I see people who own 15 are disappointing with 16. I guess, does 16 contain enough content over 15 and is it more or less a better experience for out of the loop players like me? |

I know PCM is usually plagued with issues at launch, but this year seems a little different when you consider the basically non-existant marketing and seemingly general lack of care. they had for the game.
Does anyone think that maybe Cyanide are looking to move away from PCM and become a more 'serious' studio? For example, they're currently working on a game called 'Call of Cthullu' as well as a new Styx game (the first did relatively well). They're both very serious projects - if Cthullu releases and is well recepted, it could be a breakthrough game for Cyanide. I personally don't think that they'd keep going with PCM if they 'hit it big'.

I am pretty sure that different people are working on those games. If they are successful with games like Styx and Cthullu, they would hire more people most probably, and not give up on PCM.
Did anybody ever ask freire from Cyanide how many people the PCM team consist of? |

Of course, but my reasoning was that they're not a very big studio and that they're working on two much bigger games already alongside PCM; they would more than likely have had a much higher priority. If I didn't play PCM, i'd have no idea who they were.

huh, I was kinda wondering the opposite in that after the big addition of Pro Cyclist mode last year and the total overhaul of the gameplay when climbing that they seemed to be delivering big changes the last couple of years or at least attempting them and that doesn't strike me as something a company that is about to pull out of a franchise would do.
That said I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't totally happy with how the climbing overhaul has gone and are being quiet on purpose. Like when Football Manager moved over to a new Match Engine I think it's going to take a year to get this major change polished so it is 100% working as intended but those 2 big changes 1 year after another suggest they still care enough about the series to make these big changes and are not just updating things without adding anything new to it.
Now I've got to say that I haven't yet bought this years game (and probably won't until after the first big daily DB is released as I can't start a career without it and that's mainly what I play) so don't know how the overhaul to Mountains/Hills gameplay plays out. From what I've heard about the change it sounds like it's got a lot of potential but I imagine that it's the kind of big change that would be hard to get right for the first game it's introduced in and I would expect it to play better the second year once they've realised the kinks in the new system and had the time to refine it.

I jus wanted to ask, maybe i missed something, but why there are Cyans (you have 50 for the start) and collections of riders you can have, when there is no Armada mode in PCM16? Or is there some multiplayer mod where you can use these cards? I was not browsing multiplayer section yet, but i wonder why we have an option to buy Cyans this year...

From what I can tell, I have been getting water from team mates who do that job. On some mountain stages I was without team mates in the main group and then I was running out of water and had to get it myself. |

I think this is working properly, just the different HUD changed the look of it.
From what i have seen, the phases of bidon are:
blue
half blue/half grey
grey
blinking bottle - you are in serious trouble soon
In Pro player, my teammates are supporting me with water on regular basis, no problem there...

Nice team. 
Last year i have seen some ridiculous squads being assembled, like Astana with seven 83+ climbers, but this is even better.

Play pro cyclist mode to learn what's going on in the game with training, schedule, managing the races, etc.
The career mode is sadly, pretty much, unplayable currently and online is struggling as far as I'm aware. |

Thank you! I aren't really sure what to be doing. I keep receiving information from the leader to do this and that. When I'm asked to protect someone, how do I do that? I tried to right click on the guy and give the protect command but it wasn't available to select?
Also that bar which I can move up and down using num. 8 & 5. What does this actually do? |

Is the WC bug fixed in Be a Pro?
I had a bug that I couldn't play the WC (ITT and RR) with my Pro. (happened in 2nd season once, and in 1st season another time iirc) |

Someone know if you can use the old stage variants packs from 2015 PCM to PCM 2016. So you don´t have to play the same Tour de France every season? |
