Pro Cycling Manager 2019
I love playing this game on my mid-spec laptop. The publishers haven’t marketed this, but on low-mid spec machines the graphics smoothness and simulation speed is MUCH improved.
The new traits in Pro Cyclist mode are a much needed strategy layer to a mode that has become slightly stale (or as the in-game commentators would say, “monotonous”). Perhaps video tutorials/clearer UI can be added to explain the effect and limitations of each technique upgrades (e.g. What does teammate transcendence actually do? Is it a stat buff?)

In recent years, the release of the Pro Cycling Manager games were always overshadowed with launch problems. (e.g. bugs, steam issues)
This year is the first year we had full communication between the larger communities and the developers and publishers. We were up to date throughout the whole process which makes the experience already much better than in the past.
When it comes to the game, annoying issues like 80 riders being involved in every crash are fixed. There are atleast 3 or 4 other AI improvements I noticed so far.

Pro Cycling Manager 2020
PCM20 is an great update. I do recommend moving to the new game from ‘19.
My favorite improvement is the in-race graphics: PCM20’s are a step or two above the ‘19 game. You might not notice it at first. But I saw pretty quickly that some of the 3D textures – on buildings and other surfaces – are nearly photo-realistic. It might just be the result of using the latest Gamebryo utility, but it’s definitely a bigger step than the upgrade between ‘18 and ‘19. The rider faces are also sharper and more realistic.

Another year, again another version ;-)
This year there are again some changing extra’s in the game, giving it a bit more challenge in managing but helas.. not the (bigger) changes my friends and me where hoping for.
Never the less, we enjoy this game every year again.
We would like to see some changes in CARIERE mode.
- For now the rewards from sponsors are out of balance in many ways : unrealistic demands for winning races (certainly for continental and pro continental teams) + errors and no good system to satisfy the sponsors (need a complete reworking there) + no extra money for going up in grade (from conti to pro conti and later to cya team).
