The 2nd patch is available to download. It fixes several bugs in career mode, armada and improves the gameplay.

You can download it here.

As announced yesterday, we can now release our first database for Pro Cycling Manager 2013, the Real Name DB.

It's much more than just real names, though. In fact, it's more complete than our first Expansion Pack for PCM12. In this release you will find exactly 100 teams - among them, the new Belkin Pro Cycling Team, updated stats, lots of equipment and other graphics.

But let's get straight to it - the download which you can find right here.

Pro Cycling Manager 2013 has been released, your summer vacation is likely to begin soon if it hasn't already, and the Tour de France is just around the corner - so what's missing?

A PCM.daily DB to enhance your PCM13 experience, of course.

Luckily, we can now announce that PCM.daily will release its first database for the new game before the Tour de France - to be more precise: tomorrow.

In this release, which will be named PCM.daily Real Name DB, you will find most of the features from the 2013 DB that we released for PCM12 - 100 teams (including the recent name change to Belkin Pro Cycling Team), updated stats, lots of equipment, lots of new graphics and plenty of other minor features.

This release is still a stepping stone toward our usual Expansion Pack which will feature many new races, variants and all new future sponsors, optimised for PCM13 - but that's still a few weeks ahead.

So check back tomorrow and get the PCM.daily Real Name DB!

You might have seen it on the Cyanide forum already but now it`s also here so that more people will get those "bugs" patched.

It`s not really a patch, but fixes two bugs:

- You can contract new riders at the start of July when you have a sponsor for the next season (even the same)

- You can scroll down the whole list of stage races hosted in Armada

No need to restart the career!

While some of you are still desperately trying to get the key and download links out of the hands of Focus, the game now officially has the status of "launched".

And that's celebrated with a new video, showing off the gameplay graphics in every possible way: mountains, sprints, time trials - and of course we also get a glimpse of the Champs-Elysees.

It's hardly something that will calm those who are still yet to get the game which was supposed to have landed in your inbox about 12 hours ago, but at least you can spend a little minute watching this...
