Dear players,
The Open Beta patch for Pro Cycling Manager 25 (version 01.08.02) is now available on Steam for everyone! 🚴
🛠 Patch Note
Career
Newgens: Improved limit/potential calculations to ensure riders develop more balanced attributes over multiple seasons.
Sponsors: Fixed a rare case where a sponsor offer could be invalid (showing a “label error” and an offer of €0).
Form: Fixed form peaks that could disappear after quitting and relaunching the game.
Race
Improved AI for flat/hilly stages with a small climb near the end: the player could too easily win or even monopolize the top positions in the stage.
Sprints: Fixed the bug where AI teams frequently changed their sprinting line, sometimes blocking other sprinters and the player as a result.
Game Engine
Animations: Fixed the animation bug that could sometimes cause them to freeze.
📘 Additional Notes
The newgen fix only applies to riders generated after the update. In the 2025 season, riders born in 2007 are generated on January 1st. Therefore, if you are for instance in a game in February 2025, those 2007 riders will not benefit from the changes. However, riders born in 2008, generated on January 1st, 2026, will. To sum up, on already started saves, you should expect a progressive rebalancing over time.
Regarding flat and hilly stages: Even though we believe the improvements made are significant, we are aware that more work is still needed.
Thank you for your continued feedback and support! 💬🚴
