 Well it has certainly been a busy week on PCM.daily, with the news that CrueTrue is stepping down and the release of a stats updated for the PCM.daily 2014 DB. And that is not all that has been going on!
Administrator Applications Wanted!
With the Administrative changes that are currently happening, we are now looking to hire some new admins for the site.
We are looking for people who can bring new ideas and energy to the site. Whether you want to be involved writing the Weekly News, the Fantasy Betting any other existing activities, or to be involved with new initiatives, then this could be the ideal time to apply.
If interested, send an application with some info about yourself, experience in other communities, what you see yourself doing at PCM.daily etc. in a PM to me, SportingNonsense.
It's not about post count or who had been here the longest, but the quality of the application and what you can contribute to the site that counts!
PCM 2014: Cover, Release Date and Description
A look on Amazon shows that the game cover for Pro Cycling Manager 2014 has been revealed, you can see it here. It features the Champs Elysees, through the eyes of a cyclist, but perhaps most notable is the presence of Euskaltel and Vacansoleil riders!
According to Amazon.co.uk the game will be released on June 20th, although it seems France will get it on June 19th. These dates are still liable to change though, and have not been officially confirmed. The Amazon pages also provide a description of the game, which don't really provide any new information from that which was given in oru earlier interview. I am sure we are all look forward to playing 'in "GMT"' though!
Tour de France 2014: PS4 and Career Mode
The Amazon listings also seem to confirm speculation that there will be a Playstation 4 version of the console game, alongside PS3 and Xbox 360 editions.
There also seems to be the addition of a career mode to the game, which I don't think has been included before. This is an Andy Schleck sort of career where you only ride the Tour de France, again and again, but the ability to sign new riders for your team will be a nice addition!
Stats Update Update
There have been 635 downloads of the stats update for our 2014 DB so far, but I am afraid you are going to have to download it again! Some equipment information was missing from the cdb, but this has now been fixed.
Stories. Stories everywhere!
There has been plenty of activity recently in the Stories and Story Games forums, and this is discussed in the latest edition of the Writer's Block magazine, along with an interview with Ian Butler, who started the magazine last December.
There is also still time to vote for the April Story of the Month with a record 10 stories being nominated for the main award, as well as 3 for the new story award.
Velogames Fantasy Giro
The Giro d'Italia starts next weekend and as usual, a PCM.daily league can be found on the Velogames website. To join in the fantasy cycling game, pick your team and use the '01001509' code to join our league. See the thread for more information.
Strava
And finally, the eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed the addition of a link to Strava below the banner. If you have Strava or another GPS ride recording app/device, you can upload your rides to Strava and join the PCM.daily team there to compare / show off your rides with other members of the website! You'll need to ride in excess of 400km if you want to reach the top of our weekly distance leaderboard though! You can also discuss your cycling adventures in the Your cycling thread.
