New Admin!

haasje33, well known leader of the PCM.Daily DB Team, has been promoted to the Admin team! The Downloads Section will be an area of focus as well as compiling more files from across the PCM community. SN introduced him better just below.

Database Team reinforcements

With the 2016DB released, PCM.daily's Database Team is already busy with preparations for the next projects. For the past few years, the team only consisted of 6 to 8 members, who had to do a lot of work in order to produce databases with the same quality that you expect from the PCM.daily Databases. To reduce the work load of the members and to be able to add even more features in future releases, the team has decided to look for some reinforcements.

the_hoyle and Greg956 have been added as graphics artists. They will be aiding both haasje33 (general graphics) and sgdanny (equipment). Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to MARSUPILAMI, who wasn't able to do his assigned work in the end. Also, to be able to get more up-to-date races in our future databases, we searched for one or two stage makers to join the team. We're glad that we were able to add togo95 to the team, but we're still looking for another member who can deliver new stages on a frequent base. Contact haasje33 by PM if you're interested. Experience is a condition to join the team. Last, but not least, Abelbaba and Croatia14 have been added to the team. They will be aiding in the database editing and they'll be dealing with some additional general stuff. - Written by haasje33

Community Battle

PCM Focus is launching a new inter-community online PCM competition. There will be Road and Track events against teams from a number of other PCM communities. Think PCM World Cup but friendlier and less serious. PCM Focus are hosting the idea so full details and discussion can be found on their site via this link. Sign-Ups close on Friday 18th March so there is time to think and read first.

Assorted News

Lachi decided to take all the fun out of the betting competion. A massive win on Strade Bianche, courtesy of Cancellara, gives him a whopping $10,000+ lead over previous big winner Carsley. I think we are learning that you can make some big wins following the changes to the Fantasy Betting, so i wouldn't say the competition is over just yet.

In the ICL a hugely dramataic Tour de France is coming to a tense and exciting finish. Pretty hard to call a winner just yeat as the race throws up something new every single stage. It's a brilliant advertisement for Bikex's very successful game.

Thread of the Week

Fairly obvious i think, and no i don't mean the Politics Thread! It's a shared award between Paris - Nice 2016 and Tirreno - Adriatico 2016 which have both been busy with discussion and reaction to both races across the week. Could it have really been anything else?!

I'm pleased to announce that we have appointed a new member our Admin team, as haasje33 becomes our newest administrator. He has led the PCM.daily Expansion Pack team for a couple of years now and been one of the key figures in ensuring the quality of these releases. The Downloads section is likely to be an area of focus for haasje, and hopefully we will be able to bring you more files from across the PCM community as a result.

I'm back in charge of the Weekly News! You can now rejoice and celebrate freely! Lets get this back to being Weekly

2016 In PCM

The week kicked off in fine fashion with the release of PCM.Dailys 2016 DB release, for PCM15. It took a couple of days to get there but we'll skip over that. Already it's racked up over 1500 downloads, with the variant pack surpassing the 500 mark. A great rate of success! Very simply put, it's a 2016 DB which means updated teams and riders and plenty of other high quality work. The DB team has explained it all before.

The DB team has done a great job and they deserve an awful lot of credit and thanks. With a hopeful idea of monthly stat updates, and hopefully one or two updates, your PCM15 will replicate the 2016 season better than any other DB or any other season before!

Classic Classics

The "real" cycling season is in full flow which brings a whole load of activity to the site. Join in the discussion on todays Stade Bianche events. Remember to take part in our Velogames league with Paris-Nice imminent. Let alone mentioning the Other Races 2016, News in March, Womens Cycling 2016 threads to discuss and follow the season as it builds pace in these spring months.

Alonside that don't forget our Fantasy Betting, with Paris-Nice bets still open and Tirreno-Adriatico bets soon to appear as well. It's been a busy week for the betting with Track Worlds, Omloop, KBK, Strade Bianche and Womens Strade Bianche bets. I have to mention Carsley who won $9,712.50 on Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne. He sets the early pace in the competition.

Games Galore

The site is buzzing with all sorts of activity, least of all games! The ICL has recently got itself back upto pace and is currently entering Week 2 of the Tour de France. CycloCross: A New Dawn is down in South Africa where yet again controversy is a hot topic. And as i've already mentioned there's Velogames for cycling fun.

So beyond that there's rFactor heading to Laguna Seca in Trucks in the afternoon and then the League VTCC race this evening. The Daily Song Contest is back and voting will open shortly in what should be a tight contest, unless you're Canada or Zimbabwe. Big Brother has returned for a third season, and it's worth watching the house mates battle it out. Where Am I? GeoGuesser is into a second season. And frankly they may be another game or two i've overlooked there's that many taking place. We cater for all here on Daily!

Thread of the Week

Ok the obvious picks are Cafe Pedro or the Politics Thread for their discussion on all sorts from guns to the oscars to general government to the American presidential elections. And all carried out with out resorting to insults or petty bickering, kudos guys. But my Thread of the Week goes to PCMDaily DB Stat Discussion - PCM15. A new DB kicked off big discussion but also a ton of great recommendations for smaller riders. It's been active and with great quality.

It`s time for the 2nd Velogames Fantasy Cycling Game of the year. The selection process for Paris - Nice has started and you are now able to pick a team of 9 riders with a total of 100 points here! 

To join our PCM.Daily Velogames League, enter following League Code: 04090916

Good luck and have fun.

We have now re-uploaded all files, which means that you can now download the database and the variant DLC with no problems. You can find them in the PCM 15 download section. Thanks for your patience!

We are proud to announce that we just released the PCM.daily 2016 Database: the most complete database for the 2016 season released so far!

The database contains just as many features as the 2015 Expansion Pack, as well as a lot of quality additions that will deeply enhance your experience while playing Pro Cycling Manager 2015. If you want to take a look at the features in more detail, click "read more" at the bottom of this news article.

This doesn't mean that the database will make your game unstable, however. During the last month, we have undertaken a beta testing programme and all the bugs that have been reported have been solved. About 20 members of this community have participated in this programme, which helped us solve a lot of known issues and even sped up the process, thanks to some very useful contributions. As you may imagine, we've been working really hard on this database for the past few months, so we hope you'll enjoy it!

The 2016 Database is a standalone database, which means you don't need to have the Expansion Pack installed. In fact, we strongly recommend doing a clean install of PCM2015, before installing the 2016DB. At least 2 game breaking career bugs caused by the old version of the Expansion Pack will be solved doing so, not to mention the amount of GBs you'll save on your HDDs!

A full features list can be found here, as well as an extended installation guide.

We really hope you enjoy the database. If you have any kind of problems, make sure you check the FAQ thread, and if you don't find a solution, well, any questions can be asked on the forum in the PCM15: PCM.daily Projects section!

You can download the PCM.daily 2016 Database in the download center.
Additionally, you can download the PCM.daily Variant DLC in the download center as well.
