- as kassiha Said a new and balanced stat system
- 1:5 with x16
- open beta or demo to attract new players.
- more effort to remain in the front for the peleton. In pcm 13 you sit
In the front from km. 0 without using extra power. If i requried more effort you World have to Think strategic.
- all races available online + variants and custom stages

Am I blind or in my PCM2013 riders actually need to use some extra energy to stay in front of the peloton? I've realised that if I put some of my riders in front of it, and some at the back, those who are in front have about 5-7 bpm quicker heart rate. The difference can be even bigger when the pace is high or the wind is strong.

A crazy idea:

I tried to get this to the Cyanide forum, but here it is. A new dimension of cycling in career mode. I don't want to only have road races, but also track racing and riders like Cavendish, Durbridge etc. get their competitions in track cycling like the real world.

So where's it possible to add those track events?
Well, you could just like in the road cycling or as the Pro Tour, set in different places throughout the season. So let's say each event takes 2 days and you set them at a weekend in August and they're located in London. So three weeks later a new competition is located in maybe USA. And then two week later in Denmark. Then in China. And so one it will create a world tour. Someone wins there and gets points to collect. When the season is over, the winner will be the one who has most points. This model isn't made up by me, but it's seen in Diamond League. Athletics most prestigous world tour.

All riders in your road team can join a competition, but they'll have low stats if they aren't used to the track.

And to make it more realistic, new track teams and riders can be in PCM. They can also ride on road, but they'll just as road riders have on track, lower stats. And finally a World Cup is needed so there can be a rainbow jersey in every event. But in team-events, there will only be one to wear the rainbow jersey, just like when riding on the road. Like team-time trial, there's only one in the team to wear it, because at WC it's competed individually. And there will also be a rainbow jersey in Omnium, Sprint, Keirin etc.

THANKS FOR READING!

I'd like to see a new stat. Maybe instead of downhill, just general technical/bike handling.

Could be important on small roads, turns, Belgian roads.... Maybe even decide how often a rider falls...

I thought about that. Or at least assigning animation of sprint to a sprinter that uses something like that and having them use it all the time.

How about include the luck element in fitness schedule..Eg; you set the rider to peak in TDF but the random generate value make him just achieve 80% from training plan.It makes race more unpredictable.PCM fitness schedule too direct and easy.Set rider A to peak in race A,Rider B in race C and so on...IRL sometimes rider failed to peak at the right time,it's not the case in PCM.PCM Rider=Robot

Agree 100%. I'd say this is the main reason why PCM doesn't have nearly the unpredictability of real life. Perhaps instead of luck alone, there could be something that the player would need to do in order to get the training fitness all right (while for thet AI obviously it'd be random).
