Official Announcement: A 2008 DB for PCM08 by PCM.daily and PCM Spain
To finish off yesterday's news about the new cooperation between PCM.daily and PCM Spain, I and the rest of the crew at PCM.daily and PCM Spain have an announcement to make: We're going to make a "Giant"-like DB for Pro Cycling Manager 2008! It's very simple, actually. We want to make a database which matches the size of the giant databases made by PPDB for Pro Cycling Manager 2006, meaning that you will get between c. 150 - 200 teams, 4000 riders and 450-500 races. The plan is simply to add pretty much all known UCI-races plus the races of the Lotto Topcompetitie in Belgium, the "manches" of the Coupe de France for amateur riders and the Copa de España for espoirs.
That said, we do realize that some people, myself included, don't like these "giant" databases. Therefore, there will be several versions available: One full DB (with the features above), one Lite DB (60-70 teams, the UCI calendar up to .1 races and the u23 Nations Cup) and one 'European' DB which will look like the PCM.daily 08.DB released for PCM07.
The first work has already been done. Of course, most of the people in the crew are focusing on the beta testing of PCM08 - and also, we can't make any changes to the DB yet - but some work can be done, and the first steps have already been taken a while ago. We can't tell anything about the final team list or release date yet, but we will of course keep you informed, both here at PCM.daily and at PCM Spain where this news article was published yesterday.
