I'm just asking this because you haven't updated the status thread in forever:
How close are you guys to completion? |

The main problem is that the stats are still being made.
We started completely from the scratch with the free agents. Deleted all of them and added a lot of new ones. The stats for contracted riders are 99-100 % done, while the work on free agents are still being done.
Whenever the stats are done, we'll be very close to a final version. |

Ooooh that's very exciting. Seems as though the finish may be in site

Like the last years, are you planning making a 2010 DB? The past years the DB's were awesome, even the bugs couldn't make it bad.

Geezar10: The DB is being tested at the moment which means that we're pretty close to a final release version - but with that said, there's no chance that it'll be done by Monday.
United Forever: I think it's safe to say that yes, there will be a 2010 DB.
As I've said previously, one of the reasons why we want to finish this DB despite the fact that there's several other great DBs out there is that we'll use it as a base for the 2010 DB anyway. We've added a lot of young riders, many of which are likely to be signed in 2010, and we've also added several advanced features such as the scouting zones, meaning that we don't have to do this with the 2010 DB.
I basically said to the people working on this DB that working hard now will pay off later on - so that's what we are doing |

I'll think about hanging on for my story because then it would be really cool. |

Great news are you considering making it possible for us (people on the forum) to help you by other then testing? I remember last year that people like Alexkr00 made alot of pictures and I believe many want to help I'm one of them even though I'm only good at picture making and adding rider / teams |

We ask for help when we need it. For this release, we've had some very, very hard working people within the crew (examples: Ozzy making completely new photos for ALL riders in the DB, Riccoen going through ALL riders' stats, etc., etc.).
So, surely, there'll come some tasks, but we don't want to annoy the members too much either |

I know you ain't gonna make it in this version of the DB, but in the 2010 DB would you consider making a huge one with many teams and races from all over the world? I know that there are many who prefer small DB's so the season goes faster (not saying that this DB is small ) I really like it when there are alot of races from all over the world and teams likewise, and I just hate it when the same rider wins from the same team over and over again. + Riding the same races every time is also boring I know it is much work, but will you cobnsider it?
Thanks |

We're making databases for the 'standard' PCM-gamer. If you want a Giant DB, why not download the DB made by the experts on this field, PPDB? |

Well i meant for the 2010 season (I don't know if they will be making one)
Right now i'm using the pack Cya DB which I think is quite nice with low stats and all the other thing, just waiting for the "graphic patch"
But last year was a quite large DB wasn't it? (the 2009 DB for PCM 08) |

Well, if the PCM08 DB was large enough for you, the 2010 DB for PCM09 will be too.
The one we're making now has 101 teams. |
