PC Bike Racing strategy game

Posts: 3
We are developing a new PC Bike Racing strategy game which will be based on the players skill and decisions and not how fast you can waggle a joystick from side to side.
However we would like your ideas/suggestions about the game and which features you would like to see included.
We have created a fourm on our website
www.brilliant-trees.com
and any feed back will be very much appreciated

Wouldn't a managerial one be better with an intelligent peloton?
I'm sure there's a football game like this as the boys I used to live with when I was at uni were playing something like this all the time. It would play the football match as little dots on a green rectangle for a few minutes and then go straight to the results/analysis and player roster/development.
It'll be more interesting then controlling one cyclist going "faster! slower! faster!"

- A fully flexible camera would be good, as well as the possibility to track certain riders
- Individual instructions to riders during races e.g.If in a group that contains a rival, not to work0 -
Surely it'd be best looking at what pro-cycling manager is lacking?
In this case it's what makes football manager so good - a feeling that it's real.
Forget directly controlling riders like pro-cycling manager, but give them orders like a team car would.
Where you make the difference is in your pre-stage talk, tactics (given in the means only given by car radios, i.e. not totally instant), on how you train them etc.
Riders should get unhappy (or happy for that matter) for different reasons, whether it's working for a teammate or not riding the races they want, or not getting on with other riders etc.
Sponsorship is something that is a big issue in cycling and could be fun. Pro-cycling manager is entirely focussed on results, so being present in a break in the Tour means for a poor pro-continental team means nothing.
Finally, peleton politics, as mentioned above, should play a bigger factor.
Things like having a French rider in a break being always more likely to chase down another Frenchie, even if you're screaming through the radio at him not to (because you're team's culture lacks discipline from earlier player behaviour) is what would make it feel real.
Certainly ditch the direct control over riders.
Easily said, stunningly difficult to do mind....0 -
Joystick? That's a bit of a barrier. You're presumably aiming at cycling enthusiasts. They probably can't be bothered buying a joystick just to play your game. Especially when they can just play pro cycling manager.Scottish and British...and a bit French0

Furthermore, you don't seem to be engaging with your demographic!0
