Frequently Asked Questions
Please read this through before asking a question.
The answer to by far most questions...
You have not installed the 2014 DB to the correct folder.
If you have the Steam version, you have to manually change the installation path. In most cases, the correct path is something like C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Pro Cycling Manager - Season 2013.
If you have the regular version, please check that your installation folder says 'Season 2013'. If it's e.g. 'Saison 2013' or 'Seizonen 2013' or similar, you may have to change the installation path too.
Riders are floating and aren't using any equipment.
This means that the equipment isn't in the right folders, and thus you've probably not installed the 2014 DB correctly.
Install again and make sure that the 2014 DB is installed in the folder where your Pro Cycling Manager is installed.
In Steam, that's probably something like C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Pro Cycling Manager - Season 2013.
In other versions, it's C:\Program Files\Cyanide\Pro Cycling Manager - Season/Seizonen/Saison or something like that 2013
There's purple flags or purple icons in the equipment selection screen.
This means that the game isn't using the Local.cdb file that's compatible with the PCM.daily DB.
Open up the folder where Pro Cycling Manager is installed and find the folder called PCM.daily DB Backup. Inside it, there's a PCMdaily2014DBV1-Local.cdb. Rename it to Local.cdb, copy it to My Documents/Pro Cycling Manager 2013 and replace the existing file.
If you use Steam, you need to copy the Local.cdb to the Database folder of your installation - e.g. C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Pro Cycling Manager - Season 2013\Database
If you can't find the backup files, note that they are also attached to this thread.
All the equipment is marked as bought and has equal stats/number of stars
Again, that's intentional. Teams don't buy equipment IRL, so there's no reason for them to do so in the game.
I can't pick the lowest brands of equipment.
You can, but not in the Career Equipment Menu. In the menu before a race, everything can be picked.

It'd mid-February. About time we start talking about the 2014 DB  We have some news for you in the Weekly News piece, but until then, here's some pretty basic screenshots of the DB in action.

Great stuff, just when I ordered PCM 2013 it gets "announced", whoohoo. Looking forward to this - like everybody else I guess.

You took a special effort to make a screenshot of Horner, right?

We missed way too many release dates with the latest release, so we're not going to go through that one more time. Instead, we'll be conservative and say it's ready when it's ready.

I hope you've had a good input on the rider stats, as I find yours are almost the same as mine. |

Thanks I guess
I left WT & a big part of PCT to Alak(though I've sent quite some suggestions to him), but re-did the CT stats & free agent stats.

Probably got the UK CT stats wrong though, they usually seem a bit odd. Most likely will disagree with US and AUS CT stats also. And the Bulgarians.
Ugh, this DB will just suck ass

I take it that it's sarcasm? Otherwise disappear from this topic
Anyway, they were a bit odd already.
Too high, that is.
I mean, did you really think Briggs, Holohan & Clancy are better sprinters than Phinney, Colbrelli & Ewan?
If you want them perfect, you could've offered your help
