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.

If are 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.

Man-Game Madness

The off-season has picked up pace again. Teams are now selecting and confirming their 2015 equipment and just this weekend you can now submit your 2015 Goals! This is one of the biggest parts of the game as it will define your budget. There's also hints that the first DB will drop this coming week, so we really are cracking on now.

Story Games Summary

EPIC verges on its first Season Break. The final races are topping off in Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands. It's also time for teams to apply for Part 2 races looking forwards. Finally the Continental Championships startlists have been confirmed with the events taking place on the 2010 WC course around Geelong.

ICL has completed it's WT triple header. The races in Germany, Guatemala and Japan providing plenty of talking points as some riders overperformed ad some underperformed. We await the next rankings update eagerly as eyes turn towards the Tour.

Ian Butler's CX: A New Dawn is going to finish it's opening season tonight with a race from Dunkirk. A lot of Season 2 planning has been going on regarding the calendar and new riders, teams and transfers. Keep an eye out in the coming week for information on how to join in a well loved and well run game!

Thread of the Week

In a quiet week for real news it's been a hugely busy week for forum discussions. The Stanley Cup Playoffs and end of the NBA regular season sparking action in their relative threads. But it's hard to look beyond the Cycling forum for the biggest action. Paris-Roubaix rumbled long into the week before attentions shifted to the Hilly Classics 2015 thread. Other Races thread as usual has been busy alongside a steady stream of News In April. But my thread of the week goes to Eddy Merckx and his 445 pro wins which was revived and lead to some nice talk about the greatest cyclist of all time.

Spring Classics Online

Cyanide put the time in to give us a patch to get Online working again, so it's only fair we use it. PCM.Daily's Spring Classics Season is back! Over three nights we will be competeing over 5 classic race routes: MSR, RVV, PR, FW and LBL! The racing is planned to begin on Wednesday 15th. For more details and to register your interest make sure you read the thread here.

Stories of the Month

It's not exactly the end or start of a month but it's been a while and the Story sections are buzzing. the_hoyle's new venture The Domestique is gathering good pace and shows lots of promise. For more PCM14 based reading try Shonak's Lotto Soudal: The Career Report.

PCM13 seems to be the beating heart of story writing for now. Jakstar22's
Nairo Quintana - Quest to Win em All rocks onwards. tsmoha takes his NRS 2015 to New Zealand. redrobert is all new with his Bancolombia adventure. Lastly Karl Hammarling completes TheManxMissile's epic story at long last.

Or if you want something old school Sutty is well on his way to breaking records with Team Novo Nordisk on PCM12. Or if PCM11 is more your thing then Ian Butler is back with Flamme Rouge.

Story Games Summary

EPIC finally completed January with the conclusion of San Luis where Peter Sagan won out after many many many weeks of racing. Catalunya keeps the WT active as does the anticipation of more cobbled classics. The Criterium International and KBC De Panne more than occupied the PCT, and several WT, teams. Momentum is good at the moment as the Season Break approaches.

CX: A New Dawn draws close to the end of it's first season. Still a few races to go but most of the titles seem to be wrapped up at this point. Keep an eye out for the end of the year and a chance to join in a surprisingly popular and successful game in the future.

Riding on CX's tail comes Triathlon: A New Start. As you could guess it's about Triathlon and will follow a very similar set-up to CX. Luck is wished to it for the future.

Thread of the Week

There's no denying it will be a Cycling forum thread, nothing else even comes close. The Womens Cycling 2015 finally got more comments thanjust myself. If someone could explain how the DDV|E3|GW thread is still going? There's been plenty of Other Races 2015 to talk about, not least Vuelta al Pais Vasco 2015. But my Thread of the Week is probably incredibly obvious. It's Paris Roubaix 2015 which takes place tomorrow.
