Questions from a PCM06 Noob
Teddy The Creator
Since just about everyone's online now, I thought I'd throw up some questions about PCM06. I just downloaded it, and played a few stages with a 2008 DB. TT is all fine, did well there. But when I got to the road, it all started going crazy! The rider bars look a little different to PCM11/12. I noticed the little food function next to each rider, and I just assumed it was similar to the "energly gel" in current editions, except there was four. I used one on my leaders Evans and McEwen at the start when their bars were low-ish, and they regenerated fine. But then I soon ran out, and they began to roll back in the peloton, and were dropped on a pan flat stage. What have I done wrong?

Also, one more question, any reccomended PCM06 DBs for any year, and does anyone have a DL link for the PPDB since the current link is broken.

And, how do I make a startlist? Or does anyone have a 2006/7 or 8 startlist for TdF?

Thanks everyone. Smile

Umm those "energy gels" are actually food/water. It basically replenishes your energy on the day, so you want to wait for (I forget if its the Top or bottom) one of the bars to be nearly empty. Then you feed your riders and they get full energy again. It should usually work out so that you have full energy for the final 20km and usually an extra food too.

It takes a while to get used to.

Thanks valv. That's kinda what I assumed, but the way that Evans drastically dropped on a flat stage kinda freaked me out. It seems this game requires more attention than the current editions.

Well, it's not an energy gel, it's for restoring your energy. When the green bar is empty the auto eat, and the green bar will restore, it's the stamina, when the blue bar is empty, thats your energy, so you cant attack and your rider will take fatigue, when the blue bar is empty, you should eat to get it to regain. Thats probably what you did wrong.

For the databases you can just visit the ppdb webiste, you will need to register. Use this link

I have tried registering for the site, and everytime I try to register I get the notice: The e-mail address you entered is not allowed to be used. I have tried three different mail adresses, all with different hosts, and none work. Anyone had this problem?

I'm getting the hang of it, and I love this game! The gameplay is great, the manager mode is in-depth, and you can actually attack in the mountains!

Loving my CSC career right now. Pfft
