This game is difficult enough to enjoy but not infuriate.

Aug. 2020

A very enjoyable game for me. Has kept me occupied for hours. My only criticism is that it freezes during 3-D race mode, often within 10kms of the finish line. I find this somewhat frustrating. All in all however, it's my favourite game in my library.

April 2019

Played this for a few hours now and had a blast so far. Totally immersive if you love cycling and some great mods available. It’s the first version of the game I’ve played so can’t really advise either way if you already have 17. But anyone who likes cycling should be getting this. Only slight issue so far is it seems a little easy, especially the levelling up in pro cyclist mode. It’s tough to win races at the start at least and it was a real buzz when I got that first win. Few graphical bugs here and there but no crashes thus far. Strong recommend from me.

July 2018

A much improved AI in 2018 adds significantly to the realism provided by the game. If you enjoy sports management games you'll probably take a liking to the realistic simulation that plays well with the management side. Two strong modes, career (full team management) and pro cyclist (career path of an individual rider) outshine the other options and offer many hours of playability. Real riders available on the Steam Workshop will make any pro cycling enthusiast want to purchase this game year after year (seven straight for myself). The price point isn't great but worth it for a true fan and well worth it to pick up on a sale for those unsure of the franchise. Has a few bugs, but getting better each year, and the graphics are pretty nice.

July 2018

I have a lot of trouble understanding the massive amount of negative reviews the game has received so far. Let's make it clear immediately: there are still bugs, including some glaring issues that you notice in your first hour of gameplay, and some others that have been reported countless times over the last version but are still present. This is nowhere near the quality of some other sports games, right. But we can't decently expect more with the budget, and we can't expect more budget for a cycling game and PCM is an unique and amazing game given the limited tools the developpers have. There are (imo) understandable bad things, and a lot of surprising and very enjoyable good things. People who say it's identical to the 17 with a 2018 DB are either blind or intentionally misleading others. There are improvements. Numerous ones. The menus are better looking, clearer, the UI has been improved, and there is the welcome return of the calendr for each rider. Promotions/Relegations and transfers have been completely remade to make them more realistic, which should make long carreers a lot better. You can now have 2 specialties and improve your potential with your Pro Cyclist, which gives you a lot more flexibility. In game, riders are no longer attacking for mountain points 3 kilometers before the sprint, they will now attack a lot later so getting mountain points is now a real challenge (I managed to get the best climber jersey with a pro cyclist with 66 mountain last year, this will hopefully now be impossible). You can no longer attack preemptively to a mid-race sprint, now people would follow you (attacking 3 kilometers before it meant you always won it). Those are two major AI flaws you could easily abuse when you were experienced, I'm glad to see them gone. The game is also a lot more realistic, with a lot more breakaways consisting of several riders of the same team, which never happened previously. I barely played (and I watched gameplay videos), and I could already spot all those amazing improvements. This alone convinces me that I made the right decision in supporting a small company that tries its best to give us the best possible game. Is it massively better than PCM 17 with a 2018 DB? Probably not. If you just want to play the Tour de France, skip it. But it is definitely worth buying if you invested more than 100 hours in the 17, plan to invest several hundreds this year too and enjoy cyclism.
