 In Cyanide's latest developer blog, released this afternoon, Eyolfur has provided more detail about how the new 'Be a Pro' Pro Cyclist mode will work. You can read all about it here.
It talks about the motivations for adding the mode, and more importantly, how it will work. You create an under 23 aged rider at the start of the career, with the age and choice of rider type determining the initial stats. You'll start on either a continental or pro-continental team, and work your way up the ladder through achieving results, and from daily fitness rider development.
In the races itself you have no control over your teammates, and receive limited information about what is going on in the race beyond the group that your rider is in. Your teammates will support you if you are a team leader, and the ability to move you rider left/right - which was patched into PCM14 - will be of great benefit during sprints or key moments.
The blog closes with a hint at what may be to come in future years, and they are open to suggestions from communties on that. This includes more interaction between your rider and the rest of the team, and the possibility of a pro cyclist multiplayer mode. |
