“Playing PCM since the first one (with a break between 2011 and 2019). First of all, I am glad there is a cycling game. This year, they made a huge improvement, especially with the scouting system. I hope they can add…”
“This is the first PCM I have played since 2007 and I must say that I love it. It's still a lot of fun to slowly develop your young riders and the races feel more real now and it's way harder to win. But I must say, this…”

“I skipped last two version of this series and I am positivly suprised. The base game is very simillar but there are a lot of nice tweaks. The game feels also much better. It's also more stable than before. Kudos to devs.”

“I gave cycling manager a break for 5 years. It has not improved. Yes the graphics are better. But until they create a game that allows you take part in a stage at 100% time realism (with the option to speed it up as…”

“While the 2022 version is the most refined so far, it's pretty much the same as the last 5(?) years. If you have any of the previous versions, I would not buy this one. Loading times are super slow as always, TT's are…”
“Wow It is literally the same game as 2021,except the new scouting systems they even used the same music as last year no wonder it is 100 dollar cheaper in my place”

“Another year, another slight update to the only cycling game on Steam. They changed the interface and improved the record/history page of each rider. The scouting system has been reverted to how it was earlier (for the…”
