Ask your question to Cyanide
Pro Cycling Manager 2013

With the next editions of Pro Cycling Manager 2013 and Tour de France 2013 still a couple of months away, there might still be some unanswered questions.

Here at PCM.daily, we usually interview the two teams behind the games, and that's also the plan this year. However, as a small twist, we'd like to involve you.

Since there's already been at least one interview with Cyanide, the most 'basic' questions have been answered - but if there's anything that has left you wondering, anything yet to be asked about either PCM13 or TDF13, this is your chance.

Ask your question in the comments section, and we might bring your question to the interview with Cyanide. We'll pick the best / most relevant ones Sunday evening and hopefully get the chance to bring them to Cyanide next week.

Will retired riders be removed from the game or will they still stay in the free agent list making the game a horror story when it comes to loading times after 10+ seasons?
#3 | Miguel98 on 26. April 2013 21:13
Cactus, I think that already happens.

Here's my question:

Is the weird transfer's getting fixed?
Is the mountain AI and the bug where the pack just ride's at 5km/h in a flat stage?
#4 | ac2player on 26. April 2013 22:10
In TDF 13, will there be other races than the tdf that will come with the game or in dlc, and will track cycling return?
#5 | Schleck96 on 26. April 2013 22:30
PCM 2013 - Is there a remote possibility in a near future, to have a "one-rider" career feature in the game?

TDF 2013 - Will it be possible to change the stats of the riders in the game?
#6 | TheManxMissile on 27. April 2013 00:21
PCM - Will we be able to set the the stage classification (flat, hilly, mountain)? and/or Are there any changes to the stage editor?

TDF - As there will be an option to create a "custom" race, will the game come with a selection of other stages/races, and will there be a large selection made available at a later date?
#7 | koningjantje on 27. April 2013 09:47
Will PCM 2013 focus more on presentation or gameplay
#8 | benyi lopy on 27. April 2013 11:51
Hi!!
TDF 2013: I want to know if in the new game there will be a new mode called " MY PLAYER" or something like this and with your own cyclis do more races like paris-nice and Dauphine-Libere and if you do it well your team will include you template
#9 | luis22 on 27. April 2013 12:34
PCM:
Are you going to do improvements in the stage editor, like generate less road overlaps, or other graphic improvements in it?
And will the game have new borders, podiums or things like that?
Thanks
#10 | Ian Butler on 27. April 2013 12:59
- Will the in-game editor return to add races to the calendar?
#11 | florian96 on 27. April 2013 13:21
1. Will there be more than 3 equipment selections, so that every rider of my team can have another bike such as WC, NC, ranking leaders?

2. to select if a rider wears glasses or not (in PCM 12 random)

3. Is the collision of the riders tighter, because in PCM 12 you got problems to get past a single rider especially when the road was narrow

4. riding in the wind took a big effect on the riders pulse rate in PCM 12, will this effect stay the same in PCM13 or will it be a little lower?
#12 | Layo on 27. April 2013 14:04
TDF 2013:

. Will have DEMO of the game, so that ALL users can meet and try your game ...?

. In the next TDF2013, are you going to fix all the many bugs that have been reported in TDF2012 at your tech support, https://www.cyanid...mp;t=12952
or you abandon again TDF2013 we are without finds tech support from the month of January, as you have done with TDF2011 and TDF2012 ...? Sad

Why not you repair the bugs that we are reported to you in your own tech support ...? Sad

In January you abandon again at TDF2013 users, to work on TDF2014...? Sad

2 pages reporting BUGS, and not a single response from Cyanide, and most GRAVE ...
No BUG has been FIXED!

You will return to commit the same mistake ...? xD Angry

. You have fixed the "bug" animation in the CRI ... ("in the hills ground" )?
ALL CPU riders overcome by us, they advance to us again very easily, (in the "hill" ground ), without us can doing anything to prevent it ...Embarassed

. You guys will sell the DLC's without TROPHIES / ACHIEVEMENTS again, or finally have the Paris Nice with TROPHIES / ACHIEVEMENTS ...?

. We can select/edit our 9 team riders and 9 riders of the others 21 teams of AI... (... in TDF2012 no play vs Scarponi, Igor Anton, Purito Rodríguez, Boonen...?

. TDF 2013 includes a new game mode ...? ("My Player Mode", "CRI player1 vs player2 mode split-screen", "cooperative Tour player1 with player2 help", etc.) ¿?¿?¿?


. Why the online LEADERBOARDS, only registered the first 1,000 users,and not all users of TDF...
Many of my PS3 friends, do not appear in the online game, because only the first 1000 records classified ...
Shall grow the number of users ranked the online LEADERBOARDS of TDF2013, the 1000 current players ...?

. How many users have you registered in your PS3 and XBOX leaderboards ...?

. Why not recorded on Leaderboards, ALL Tours, each user has won during the game ...?
Currently, only appears in leaderboards, the rider with whom I've won more Tours, (cumulative), but NOT appear the rest of my SUFFERED Tours earned Coppel, Brajkovik, etc ...)


. You have planned to rank Leaderboards in the online mode ...?

. You Penalize users who leave the game, when they see that they will be defeated ...?

(... I think if you fix this, the game will increase MANY USERS in the "CURRENT EMPTY" ONLINE MODE ...!)
;-)



THANKS!

Despite the name of the game (Pro Cycling MANAGER), much of the emphasis of the game in recent times has been on race simulation rather than the management aspect. I recognise that PCM13 will see a few small improvements to the management aspect, but is this something Cyanide will look to develop more comprehensively in the future, so that PCM might eventually become as in-depth as football manager or games of its ilk?
#14 | Stromeon on 27. April 2013 22:01
Two questions:
Going by the screenshots released earlier, there seem to be some new features in the stages that will presumably feature in the stage editor. What are the major changes to the stage editor this year?

Have there been any changes to the mountain AI this year? If so, what?
#15 | SportingNonsense on 28. April 2013 00:27
Has work been done to improve the selectiveness of hill stages? The AI really struggles to get gaps on hill stages in PCM12, unlike in previous versions.

And to echo ManxMissile, will it be possible to overwrite the game's chosen ratings for a stage with our own. (i.e. whether it is Flat/Hill/Mountain, what the Mountain ratio is, etc)

@9 The road overlaps isnt a problem of the stage editor, you probably just need to work on your stage making.
#16 | diacos on 28. April 2013 08:26
In PCM13, will the AI make sprint trains?
#17 | Jesleyh on 28. April 2013 10:05
#16 They do on PCM 12 as well, normally... Though there is a bug sometimes, but normally, they make sprint trains yeah. I've got 3-5 sprint trains fighting with each other, some of the times.
#18 | Jeremy on 28. April 2013 11:27
Armada was a good idea, but I think it needs some love for PCM2013. Some small upgrades would make the mode much more enjoyable. So, can we get some small upgrades for Armada like:
- a button to discard all duplicates;
- races for bronze only or silver only riders (like Fifa's tournaments);
- the ability to save predefined squads (it really sucks to have to make your team in a hurry in one minute);
- the ability to pick your race (I love Paris Roubaix and in like 200 games I was only able to do it 2 or 3 times).
#19 | Mhaley45 on 28. April 2013 17:10
In an early 2013 preview it was stated that riding on the cobbles will become more difficult. This seems to imply that the current AI for cobble races will be tweaked to tire non-cobblers at an accelerated rate. Will any other aspects of cobble races be altered? (ie when attacks occur, more punctures, more crashes,)
#20 | Mhaley45 on 28. April 2013 17:14
You also indicated that new hidden traits will impact races - Fatigue/Tiredness, Will and regularity? Will you expand a little on the effects of these traits and will they be displayable after the race in summary form?

Will there be the ability to turn these traits on and off (along with the home country advantage)?
#21 | Jesleyh on 28. April 2013 19:23
PCM 2013 - Will the 153 teams limit be removed, to give Giant DB's a chance?
#22 | fenian_1234 on 28. April 2013 21:28
I'm a bit late, but would echo Layo's comments. We know it'll be released in time for the Tour, which makes perfect commercial sense. But how interested are Cya in patching the game after that so it works properly? There was a time they'd patch it for six months or so afterwards - the cut off point now seems to be more like August......Frown
#23 | jseadog1 on 29. April 2013 02:23
Will you be able to zoom into a profile during a race like you used to be able to before 2012?
#24 | Ian Butler on 29. April 2013 07:47
Will export-startlist return?
#25 | diacos on 29. April 2013 14:53
#17 Thats's weird because in my game the AI never make trains. They chase the breakaway in kind of a train, but when they catch it, they stop and go with like 5km/h until the finish. If i make a sprint train after they catch the breakaway, they will only put their sprinter on my wheel and that's how it works. Until the last 1.5 km, there is a train of around 10 sprinters on my wheel.
#26 | Jesleyh on 29. April 2013 15:04
#25 Maybe you relay too hard or something? idk...
#27 | baseballlover312 on 30. April 2013 03:09
#25 It only works on hard or above are you playing on easy or normal?
#28 | vismitananda on 30. April 2013 08:38
In PCM 2013 will the former winner of a certain race will wear bib 1?

As you can see over the previous ver. of PCM, the race automatically chooses a strong rider who's capable of winning the race, thus he wears bib no. 1
#29 | Sean_Kelly on 30. April 2013 11:54
In TDF 13: Are you going to keep the same number of kilometres per stage? Have you suggested that perhaps it is better to collect fewer miles by stage, and improve detail in the environments and make faster and more dynamic stages?

And are you going to include the big clasics?? Paris-Roubaix, Liege, etc.
#30 | Spacebasterd on 30. April 2013 13:10
1) Voice command integration just shout in the mic to your rider to attack! Smile
2) When will Cyanide make a proper (PCM style) F1 management racing game?
