The cooperation between PCM.daily and PCM-Spain is already paying off. Together, we will release a Real Name Database for Pro Cycling Manager 2008 on the 19th of June, the day of release for the game. This package will include real and updated team rosters with the correct names for all teams and riders, updated stats, more team gear, rider photos and the missing jerseys and mini jerseys. This way, you will have the possibility of getting started with a good PCM08 DB right after you have bought the game ;)

The file is already ready, but we are not allowed to release it until PCM08 has been released. It's also worth mentioning that the package has been built from the large DB project which PCM.daily and PCM-Spain is currently working on - it's all progressing really well, and we expect to keep our internal deadline on this project.

But this is not eveything we've done in order to make your start on PCM08 more comfortable. Besides, we've built a package with savegames to play the last two stages of the Giro d'Italia, in the real outcome before Alberto Contador won his first "corsa rosa". Everything is suited for real: standings, jerseys, backnumbers, recuperation, rider form's and teamroles. You'll only find one problem: the role and strategy setting for both stages is not available, but we've fixed a correct one for you. Take one of the 22 savegames belonging to the real squads taking part of the race and go for the win!

So, all in all, there's even more reason to look forward to the 19th. We are looking forward to see you! :)
