Developed by Cyanide Studio · Published by Nacon
Take the role of a sport director and make decisions about recruitment, budgets, sponsors, team objectives, race programmes, and training.
Send scouts to different regions to assess young cyclists, then observe or bring promising riders into your development team. Rider potential and development depend on their abilities and how well they fit with the team and coach.
Plan race strategy and manage rider effort as races unfold, with stamina and resistance affecting how riders can attack or conserve energy. You can also create a rider in Pro Cyclist mode, and compete online; the game includes the 21 official stages of the 2022 Tour de France.
The supplied reviewer describes the game as relaxing and says it has long been their favorite Pro Cycling Manager. This reflects one review, not a broader player consensus.
Pro Cycling Manager 2022 makes you a sport director. Make all the decisions necessary to take your team to the top: your responsibilities include recruitment, planning objectives and race programmes, sponsor management, scouting future talent, training, race strategy and much more.
You can also create your own rider in Pro Cyclist mode. Join a team and prove you can be the leader, then do what it takes to shine in the peloton. Can you rise to become one of the best?
Pro Cycling Manager 2022 lets you compete against players from around the world in online mode.
WHAT'S NEW:
NEW GENERATION OF RIDERS
This new system is based on the level and potential of the young cyclists, using a 6-star grading system. Now the young riders who are created are juniors from 16 to 18 years old, with the pool comprised of 1,500 to 2,000 young cyclists each year (3 times more than before). These new riders will be more versatile and will develop similarly to the current stars.
RIDER DEVELOPMENT
Just like with the young talent, we want to have more versatile riders, so the development system has been redesigned to take this into account. It is also critical for your riders to perfectly integrate the team, establishing a good relationship with the coach, or they will not progress optimally.
MORE VARIED RACE
In Pro Cycling Manager 2022, thanks to a more varied peloton, you experience scenarios that are different from the usual blueprint of a Tour stage, for example. You can find yourself in a race that is action-packed from the start, with favourites taking the lead, and a variety of attacks right from the first hour.
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
The interface has been redesigned, with a total overhaul of the cyclist page that now incorporates new statistics, highlighted rider capabilities and results, and the addition of an interface comparing cyclist characteristics.
Stamina and resistance scores have a bigger effect on how effort is exerted during a race. This allows some riders to attack several times or manage their effort at the end of the race better.
The race-day condition is now closer to the announced provisional condition. To enable comprehensive customisation, you can now adjust 2 parameters: bonus amplitude (from +5 to -5 or complete deactivation) and activation or deactivation of variation.
The simulation time has been optimised and is now twice as fast as before.
You can now have specific team jerseys for a given race.
