The DB Team have been putting in the hours behind the scenes and have delivered on the long promised 2014 V2. Huge amounts of new equipment, jerseys, photos and sponsorkits make this possible the most complete graphical db we've ever done. With over 3000 riders it's an amazing piece of work.
Added to that the improved stats to better represent what the 2014 season was really like and some adjusmtents to improve gameplay it's a great DB. You can download it here or here. The only thing you need is the V1 DB already installed.
PCM.daily Awards: Voting Open
Nominations closed on Wednesday and SN did a great job getting the polls up nice and quickly. It's certainly my favorite time of year and every vote can matter.
There are 33 categories to vote in, including Member awards, Site awards, Management Game awards and Cycling awards, and all voting threads can be found in the Awards subforum. The winners will be revealed next weekend, on January 10th, so you have until then to vote.
Congratulations and good luck to all of the nominees! - written by SN
New Stat Range?
matt17br and Jesleyh got seriously bored this week and found something rather interesting. Apparently, in single race mode, stats are not limited to 85 but in fact work right up to 99. They've done some nice testing of the effects and continue to do so. It's certainly the most interesting piece of PCM news for a long time. Just remember that stats over 86 will not function properly in Career mode. For full details and discussion simply check out the thread here.
Story Game Summary
Skipping the Man-Game this week, which rumbles onwards as usual with an end of July Rankings update, the best action has been EPIC. Over the Holiday period the game has dealt with renewals, progressions and declines, a draft and is now into the transfer period.
The draft was a chance for all teams to pick up a rider for free, with most targeting a youngster of talent. The PCT teams get a second rider later in the week. The transfer season has been long anticipated and is in full swing for roughly the next week and a half.
Thread of the Week
There have been a number of interesting and popular threads this week, but most of them were realted to the above topics. So my first Thread of the Week for 2015 is slightly preemptive. In the Year 2015 is this years thread to make predictions for the coming cycling season. Always popular and always great discussion! |
