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 you make sure all the NC jerseys for the teams, also the ones without licenses are theere like they would have looked like on the real kit? But with the fake jerseys names for example

#27 I play on extreme, and it's very weird. If i don't make a sprint train, the winner of the sprint will be the first one on the peloton, without sprinting with 5km/h. But if i make trains, they will sprint normally from my wheel. Any ideas?
#33 | Ian Butler on 01. May 2013 09:50
#32 there's nothing to be done, unfortunately. If you're lucky, it'll go away. It comes and it goes in my game.
#34 | diacos on 01. May 2013 15:41
#33 Ok. So my question is: will this happen again in PCM13?
#35 | issoisso on 01. May 2013 18:30
I have a question for Cyanide: "Why?"
#36 | lakebeach on 02. May 2013 19:18
Will it be possible to see a riders form during a stage?
#37 | NTTHRASH on 03. May 2013 02:35
My question: when will this interview take place? It's been a week, and no update...Sad
#38 | baseballlover312 on 03. May 2013 03:18
Agreed. for a Sunday choosing, it's taking a while. Fine if we don't get a report right away, but did it happen and everything or is it yet to come?
#39 | NTTHRASH on 03. May 2013 05:13
My other question: what is a quark, in relation to a bicycle?

They still have time to make their promise Wink
#41 | NTTHRASH on 03. May 2013 22:56
#40: Thanks, I missed that. Smile
#42 | Selwink on 04. May 2013 20:00
1. Will the season mode be back?
2. How many races will have the correct race profile?
#43 | blaschette on 05. May 2013 20:47
So its sunday today and still no news ?Frown
#44 | vismitananda on 06. May 2013 00:16
So its Monday now? Can we still have hope for this?
#45 | Avin Wargunnson on 06. May 2013 05:49
The interview was probably made last week, we dont know which day. Now somebody has to write the article, so have some patience people. Smile

What do you expect anyway? We will hear that everything will be fine, they will cherrypick questions that serve their purpose and questions that dont, will be ignored (like plenty of bugs for years). Wink

I think PCM 2012 missed alot of things.

In cycling every rider is unique and some are even specialists. The game need alot more focus on riders and their personalities. Like Experience, respect in peleton, respect on team, team spirit, riders alliances across teams (friends), own realictic goals, loyalty, tactic awareness, good and bad days, specialists in all different races, riders influence on/in races, riders strength/speed/finish/teamplayer/xp.

Then there is the team, realistic coaches, relation to manager riders and so on. Better team/rider prep. for season goals. Much much better contract part to keep or buy riders. Manager should be much more involved in pre-game sessions and "Race-day" team tactics.

In the race part i don't think the graphics needs to be that much better. For me it's more important that the "in-race" part i strengtened alot.
More realistic like; it's not always the same riders who attack from beginning/middle/finish. (comes with the "prerace tactic"Wink

More realistic attacking like they should work more together.
And have a reason to be there/ or not Pfft

All teams should have tactics in-race more or less depending on team/personal goals. or if a riders fits perfect to the stage/race.

All in all I think the game deserves to be better, and the it shouldent be the players of the game complaining all the time about bugs and stuff.

The game needs a bigger realistic surface and alot more options.

I hope the PCM 2013 have these things and maybe alot more so it will become the kind of game i wanted for the last seven years. Smile

Those aren't questions, but simply your wishes Wink

Anyway, about the interview: Questions were asked a bit later than planned (which is OK since that made it possible to include a few more of your questions), and we're now awaiting a time for the interview to take place.
#49 | florian96 on 07. May 2013 10:10
#47: great suggestions!!Smile

If we have a little bit more time, here a question for the PC Game:

In the last PCM Games you could see, that after a few years you created allround monsters, which were almost perfect in every single attribute.
So I want to know if this year a rider can lose attributes because he doesn’t train it and not only because of his age.

for example:
When you have a trainer, who is excellent for mountains and poor for the other attributes the riders mountain attribute will raise and the other attributes will stay the same or go down.

TDF2013 PS3 / XBOX

. You will make an application for Android, to querying the riders stats ... ?
Would be very useful to design our tours, and study the opposing teams, profiles of all stages and all sections playables ...! ( anytime and anywhere ...)


. I saw the first screenshots of TDF2013, and the camera is still the same, (third person ...)
...Do you plan to add a second camera, (action camera, on board, first person ...), like this https://www.youtub...ata_player ... ?
I think this new camera, give more realism and more sense of speed at the game...

It´ll be great if they concentrate all their efforts improving the IA game.

No better graphics elements, no licenses,...
#52 | Miguel98 on 11. May 2013 09:00
If they mantained the graphics level same as PCM 12, I would like it. Then, I wouldn't give a shit about licenses anyway, cause DB's would correct it.
#53 | vismitananda on 15. May 2013 07:32
Can we have that interview nao?
#54 | Selwink on 15. May 2013 16:48
Its taken tomorrow I believe
#55 | zachbastian on 16. May 2013 07:38
Why announce an interview, when you are not able to keep your deadline. Then it´s better not to announce an interview. I hope for a great game, but with almost nothing(except a few screenshots) a couple of months before release, I don´t expect much. Frown
#56 | Ian Butler on 16. May 2013 08:13
Just be patient. Don't forget nobody gets paid here. They'll do and upload the interview when they have time.

PCM

TDF Can you add Giro di Italia and Volta Espana to make it 3 grand tours and can you make split screen. Another cool thing would to be able to do additional routes . Something I always did in PCM was I lowered the overall of Wiggins and froome because I was sick of sky winning everything, and I was wondering if you can change the riders overall, I always raised the overall of Basso, Thomas Voeklar, Cunego, The Scheck's, Contador, Evans, and Sanchez.
#60 | bosoxmusch on 10. June 2013 18:11
Will TDF ever be available in the USA for XBOX360 or PS3?
I know I can order PCM but really want the gameplay on 360...
