More statistics, somewhat like Football Manager.

For me, one of the things that keeps me from doing a longer career (three seasons or more) is the fact that everything is so... static. I don't feel like I'm immersed in a world of its own.

Take the Grand Tours as an example; what about having a "history-page" for each rider (like FM), where you, in this case, would see how many (and which) GTs a rider have taken part in.

Football Manager makes you feel like the world changes even without you taking part, you're just one small cog in a huge machinery. In PCM, however, you are the machinery.

Give me the chance to have conversations with other DS's, with other riders, give me more statistics on riders/races, give me personality, give me freedom, give me liberty or give me death!

Give me FM on wheels!
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

The startlist of the World Championship should base on the actual Rankings of the season.

Agree with you!
As it is sport, i would like to see more changing in the stats, not only increase or decreased stats!
For example some riders can make one great year then become a normal rider, for example at the beginning of the year, some riders could have their stats changing from -3 to +3 (to change the things a little bit but not too much).

I'd also like to see the fighter price as you have it in the game on Xbox it could be easy to introduce it with the rider who attack the more. Maybe their could be a coefficient when rider is alone or 2 riders in the E1 group

Idea:
more options on ITT's and TTTs

Explaination of idea:
a very important point, I almost forgot, are the time trails on PCM.
pause the game when one of your riders is going to start or implement a checkbox to determine the riders, from your own team and other teams, you want to see on the starting ramp.
the TTT needs to be rebuilt. It's annoying to play, especially it can destroy your leaders ambition to win a GT.
set the starting order in TTT's. On a short track you need to start with the best TT riders in front

Why:
I think a lot are sick of the time trailing in PCM and to hear comments from developers like: "Then just quick simulate it." is a joke. They got almost a year to fix it or make it a little more comfort to play.

Idea:
Spectator function in multiplayer

Explanation of idea:
Pretty simple that you can join a multiplayer match as a spectator.

Why:
Because that will make a better way to other looking other rider’s skills or you just want to see the match give some tips. Live stream of the live matches. It will give more looking and playing multiplayer because they can see it live and they can get the feeling of being there

Idea:
Relationships

Explanation of idea:
Riders getting small bonuses and penalty's for who they ride with or against. Like if you are in the final stage of a race and are up against your rival, you would depinding on the relationships (Shit talking in media and so on) you get a bonus or penalty. Not talking a huge bonus, but something small. Like if your a sprinter and your in the final 50m and it's you or your rival in it for the stage. If you got the mental upper hand you would get that extra boost.

Why:
It will make the game more realistic and fun in some ways. Mostly for the sprint and moutain stages.

Idea: Option to switch on/off automatic freshness.
Explanation of idea: Nothing is more annoying when your leader appears in a key race with bad frehness. It would be optimal to be able to switch on/off for it or even better, decide how often it is automatic
Why: It is so frustrating for many and for new PCM users it's even worse as it makes it a worse experimentt for those who aren't good...

I would like to have a pcm15 that combines career and multiplayer. Understood this way; It should be possible to play tours for ladder points. maybe when u lock on to your online account and wants to play, u can click on / off tours... or even choose to turn on / off all sorts of races.... say u only want to do a sprint, u click all other races off... etc etc Also it could be funny if the sprints in multiplayer actually mattered. They could donate points, coins or even make a new ranking system that included the polka and green jersey, wich could be attached to a single rider or team(best climber on team could wear the jersey).
Also I wish for another lvl system. It should in my opinion only be possible to drive with 2 or 3 gold riders. would make the game more even I think.
But most deffenently make ladder tours... should naturally be worth more points and give more fatigue...
oh... oh... and plz fix everything Wink

Idea: To manage how the riders train during off-season

Explanation of idea: A system where you could motivate riders to train harder during winter, maybe paying them an amount of money to make an extra effort. The riders are always in very bad condition at the begining of the season, but in real life some riders are very much prepared for example for the Tour de San Luis or Tour Down Under.

why: To make some riders better prepared for the spring season, or even increase their stats for the coming season.

Idea: Include track racing calendar in career mode.

Why: It would be another great feature to the game, if riders were able to compete in some track events during the season.

Seconding this completely. I feel a lot of the things mentioned in this thread you can already fine in an FM game, but not in PCM. Other teams don't seem to have a coherent plan when signing riders and which selections they send to which races. The interaction you have in FM with other managers, riders and even your own staff would also be a great addition to make the world feel more immersive.

I would like the ability to sign continental riders as stagiaires. And being able to sign continental riders to a world tour team even though their contract does not expire.
 
fuoconelteepee
Idea: Goto next "event"
Explaination of idea: skip the days without events
Why (No one word or some word posts): In career mode, mainly after last race of the season, the "next day" button can become "next.... until something really interesting for your team happens.

(sorry if someone other already posted or if it is a feature already in the game... i missed this)

I got a few suggestions:

Idea: Defending winner gets #1.
Explaination of idea: Previous years winner of any race gets #1 in the next season in career mode (if a winner is noted for previous year). If previous winner is not in the race, previous winner's team (current or former) gets it. If previous winner's team isn't taking part, it's given to the highest rated potential winner (i.e. Kittel, Cavendish or another powerful sprinter or classics rider most likely won't get #1 at Le Tour)
Why: Because in real cycling, last year's winner, provided that he takes part in the race, will have #1 in the race.

-------------------------------

Idea: Being able to choose who gets #1 for your team (provided you don't have last years winner)
Explaination of idea: Self-explanatory
Why: Don't teams choose their own number one in real cycling ?

-------------------------------

Idea: Being able to tell AI off about not cooperating
Explaination of idea: Sometimes, the AI just won't cooperate. Either it attacks all the time in a breakaway, says that my rider is not cooperating (when he is), or acts like all my riders in a breakaway should work without having its own captains do anything. In the peloton, if a non GC contender is the leader, and I have a GC contender, I'm always the bookie's favorite and should do the work, even if other teams have stronger GC contenders (e.g. Kreuziger vs Nibali, Quintana, Froome, Valverde at Basque Country - all at same time in GC, 1.49 after Machado).
Why: Because the AI is an unreasonable douche at times, and being able to get it to do some work when it's supposed to would be nice.

Idea: earlier release of the game!!

Explaination of idea: We all know PCM comes out to the beginning of the TDF, but for me that date is nonsense.
I understand that the console games come out on that date, but not the PC game. Bring the PC game out on the Giro in May. This could be a great minor release for the core fans. Now Cyanide gets enough time to fix some possible bugs until the upcoming TDF and make a big commercial with the indroduction of the console games and the PC game running smoothly with no problems.
Also the Community could build a expansion pack earlier that would come out around the TDF date too.

Why: It's September and I haven't started a career so far because of the Bug fixes and the expansion pack.
So I think I will play it for maybe around 1 or 2 months until its winter and also the cycling season is over you lose all fun to play it. And there are other big games coming up from 2k and EA. With a possible earlier release I would be able to play more than 4 months.
I don't know how others are playing, but the last two years I never played a full season because I started it so late and lost fun of it.

Totally agree.

The majority of this wishes are justified.
For PCM 2015, it´s not necessary to make a lot of enhancements.
Cyanide needs to improve the IA, that´s all.
PCM is a good game and PCM 2014 is better than the others versions of the game, but now it´s really necessairy to improve the IA.

I really miss the ability to play LAN with friends the easy way.. That's it.

Idea:
The possibility to introduce more in-game classifications. Today only sprints and KoM. To have the option to split sprint and finish point class points into TWO different competitions.

Explaination of idea: and Why:
Easy enough. Take Eneco Tour and many many more races have separated the interim sprints in one jersey and the finishing class and those points into a different classification. Also Two types of sprints on the course, one with bonus seconds overall another with only points and a different jersey.
Eneco has this Primus Black Jersey for it´s different Primus Sprint.
It´s easy enough to understand what I am thinking on. Just look at many classifications. Lots more jersey then TDFs standard Yello,Green,Dottet,White.

It is surely adding a great new aspect to the game, but harder stuff on the stage creators. They have to get that correctly or it will be a problem Rolling Eyes
