More New PCM/TDF 15 Screens

As reported on Wednesday, Cyanide gave us 4 more screenshots of the upcoming 2015 versions of their games. We got two views of the Champs-Élysées and two views of climbing. Also visible were about 11 more fully licensed team kits from various WT and PCT teams. You can read the full thing below and click Read More on that article to look at the pictures.

2015 Giro Stages For PCM14

The years first Grand Tour is bearing down on us and now you can play the route in PCM14! Eyolfur has made all 21 stages of the 2015 race for PCM14 and released them over on the official Cyanide forums. Or if you don't fancy the trip there you could just click this download link. The stages are fantastic quality and Eyolfur really has done a top quality job!

April Graphics

If you're adding some new stages, why not add some new graphics at the same time? Just like most months we have a nice variety of members releasing various jerseys all through the past month of April. You can check out the top selection of them and then vote for your favorites by going to the April Graphic Contest. Even if you don't want to vote it's a great way to easily find some great jerseys.

Man-Game and Story Games

The Man-Game off-season ramped up a level this week. A ton of new information has been released about race's, HC/C2HC bands, XP gains, taxes and more. All this signals that Renewals is getting ever closer and that the madness of transfers is pressurizing nicely. That said two teams were already cut this week for failing to meet certain expectations, which was a shame. But the MG world must quickly move onwards!

The ICL found a bit of pace with some more events this week like Suisse and Rheinland-Pfalz. EPIC ground through the Dwars Door Vlaanderen. Hopefully these two games won't be slowed too heavily by increased MG activity.

CX: A New Dawn is on the edge of starting Season 2. Sign-ups closed this week with a great selection of new riders and members taking part. Even if you didn't sign-up i have to recommend following along because the quality of everything in the game is amazing, like this season preview!

Thread of the Week

Once again it is clearly going to come from the Cycling sub-forum. We are well into the depths of the season with multiple races every day at all levels from NCup to World Tour to Track records. The Other Races 2015 thread is the best place to keep up with all the non-WT action and is updated multiple times a day with PCS embeds. The News in "Month" threads are great to keep up with wider events like Alex Dowsett's succesful Hour Record attempt. But my Thread of the Week goes to Tour de Romandie 2015 where the pre-Giro build-up race packed in the action and discussion.

Expect more and more information to become available through May from Cyanide. The games wil be released in June and they continue to build up the buzz. 4 new images of the games today showing us more hints at content.

We get our first view of the Champs-Élysées with, what i assume to be Contador, attacking the the Yellow Jersey. And a dramatic view of the Eiffel Tower showing off more teams. The other two images are climbing shots with big pelotons, looking as good as ever. You can now start to see a lot more jerseys as well like Lotto, Garmin, MTN, LottoNL, Astana, Movistar, Lampre, Katuha, Tinkoff, Trek, Ag2r and hints of more.

If are you interested you can find the full post on either their Facebook or Twitter accounts. Or click Read More to view the images. Or they will soon be available in our Screenshots section, which will be updated as more become available.

No PCM.Daily 2015 DB for PCM14

As you might have picked up or guessed there will not be a Daily 2015 DB for PCM14. The DB team has been very quiet on the subject for a while and this is official confirmation there will not be a new DB incoming for PCM14. That doesn't mean there aren't 2015 DB's around, check out the Downloads section for some very good ones. This is not the end of the PCM.Daily DB and we hope to be back with one for PCM15 much later in the year.

All New PCM/TDF15 Screens

Yep Cyanide gave us a first public look at PCM/TDF15 when they released two screenshots yesterday. You can read about it in yesterdays article which also contains the images via the Read More link. In short, it looks very nice yet again.

Story Games Summary

Both EPIC and the ICL have slowed a bit in the past week(s). EPIC did conclude Catalunya with Valverde winning for Movistar ahead of Koenig for BMC and Uran for Sky. Both games are struggling slightly with a lack of reporters but they are still grinding onwards nonetheless.

The big Story Game of the week has been CX: A New Dawn. Off-seasons in any game seem to bring the most action and CX didn't dissapoint as many new riders and teams popped up this week. We've also hade the Season 1 awards nominations go live, and the Season 2 calendar has been confirmed. There is still time join Ian Butlers game and you can do so by going to the thread.

Thread of the Week

The Man-Game DB release sparked plenty of discussion in that section. The Other Sports forum continues to be a point of interest for American Sports fans. But this week there was only ever going to be one winner of TotW. The Hilly Classics 2015 has been by far the dominant thread during Ardennes week, no competition at all to the commentary on AGR, FW and LBL.

Cyanide have dropped their first two official screenshots on us today for Pro Cycling Manager 2015 and Tour de France 2015. Much as you'd expect they are two very pretty images showing off the graphics. What we can tell is that they've got the normal bunch of licenses with; Orica, Bretagne, Iam, Fdj and Androni jerseys all nicely visible alongside some others that are a bit harder to pick out.
