"Each and every year sees the release of dozens of sports management simulators, and the vast majority of them are extremely niche. While the likes of Football Manager destroys millions of man hours each year, similar games are often completely overlooked, panned or even mocked for their apparent lack of interactivity or their place in the sports hierarchy.@
Want to feel like the next Armstrong? Or are you interested to see what it takes to take part in The Tour de France? This game might not be for everyone but it still does a good job.
If you like Sports Management games or just love the Sports genre in general then Pro Cycling manager is worth a look at. In the beginning you will be overwhelmed with all the options available and not too sure where to go first but after some inspection and time you will find your way easy enough.
To be perfectly honest, I do not know that much about the sport of cycling. All of my knowledge comes from watching ESPN when Lance Armstrong was the king of the cycling world. So when Pro Cycling Manager 2013 landed on my desk, I felt way out of my element. That feeling subsided a little bit during my time with the game, but this game is not for the faint of heart.
I myself am not very familiar with pro cycling but this appears to be a title that looks like it caters to fans of the sport.
The highly anticipated Pro Cycling Manager 2013 has finally arrived and it’s very similar to the Football Manager series. You have full control over your teams and their choices via the micromanaging commands. There are plenty of real licensed teams and sponsors to choose from (much like the 2012 release of Pro Cycling Manager).
Pro Cycling Manager 2013 includes a polished interface that is complete with the same calendar system from last year’s release, so managing your teams, training sessions, and upcoming events is still easy. The calendar system shows every event, regardless of when it’s scheduled. It even shows events that are scheduled months in advance.
The main dashboard is setup similar to the previous dashboard from 2012, but it has been remastered to look sharper. All the same features that made the game popular are still present – e-mailing, scouting rosters, and performing objectives, just to name a few.
