    I have now played this game francaise on PS3 since PS4 but it is for PS4 my review is because the PS4 version isnt in the PS4 section. I Have played this TDF game serie since 2011, and every year they have done something good, and make it better. Last year they actually implented "Pro Team Mode" where you star t with a small low rated team and have to do some objectives to get money andI have now played this game francaise on PS3 since PS4 but it is for PS4 my review is because the PS4 version isnt in the PS4 section. I Have played this TDF game serie since 2011, and every year they have done something good, and make it better. Last year they actually implented "Pro Team Mode" where you star t with a small low rated team and have to do some objectives to get money and eventually buy new riders.

    It work good except riders was just "clones" you buy Froome and Contador but they was still at Tinkoff and Sky. It was horrible and actually focus stop support with DLC on game 1 month after release and then focus on making 2015.

    They have done that with "perfection" now they have first of all make 3 Diffrent game difficults, Amateaur for newbies, Professionel for the "common" player and then there is "Champion" which have realistic recovery on riders

    Again Pro Team mode this year is diffrent they have license for 3 of the most "known" frence races, Criterium International and Criterium Daphne and off course TDF, the objective is here to qualify for each tours and have to completed some objectives and the more you win or do those the more riders you unlock to buy but to actually get access to the next tour "Daphne" you have to win the first and to get access to TDF its the same thing, if you dont manage the objectives, its okay, the objecktives you allready have done are finish, and you can there for focus on buying better riders when end of seasn is coming.

    OVerall make these mode the game possible to live longer that the old one, only thing now they need is to put back the online part there was in the game in 2012 and was then removed.

    We at PlaYstationforum.dk was review this and have done it the last 3 years, and this game was highest rate ( 8 out of 10 ) and we give grades according to what game is to fullfill and compared to older versions. So its not because game is better than FIFA, but in this situation it is the best they have made.

    I will start by saying, I'm a huge fan of the Tour De France, i make it a habit to watch every year. I was a avid PC gamer up until a year ago, when I was tired of upgrading my PC every time I wanted to play the Next Gen games coming out. I purchased Pro Cycling Manager on PC more many years and always enjoyed the game, challenge, and uniqueness the game brought to the sporting genre.I will start by saying, I'm a huge fan of the Tour De France, i make it a habit to watch every year. I was a avid PC gamer up until a year ago, when I was tired of upgrading my PC every time I wanted to play the Next Gen games coming out. I purchased Pro Cycling Manager on PC more many years and always enjoyed the game, challenge, and uniqueness the game brought to the sporting genre.

    So naturally when I made the leap to Xbox One, Tour De France 2015 was for sure a purchase i was going to make. I was pleasantly disappointed if that make any sense.

    First, graphics in my opinion were not something I focused my time on reviewing, with time and experience on console that will come. What took me back the most was, when the graphics are not the greatest on games, usually, the developer increases the amount of content to the game. This is not the case with Tour De France 2015.

    As I'm a huge story/career nut when it comes to games, I was looking for that option to start as a young rider and develop and grow to the top of the cycling world. With the option for only 3 cycling events and pre-generated cardboard cutouts of riders. There was no feel to individuality to the Pro team Mode.

    I find myself still playing it as I do like to finish at the top of whatever career mode is thrown my way, but i can see it will be a short lived.

    I'm not sure why the developers were not able to mask the PC version of Pro Cycling Manager? I'm hoping that content may be added in a DLC, maybe???

    As it is the first year on Xbox one, I'm hoping this is a stepping stone to a great game in the future.

    If this review does make it across any on the development team, as a cycling fan myself, more content please, if nothing else.    … Expand

    Represents its sport well, but it's just too mundane to ever be something of note. One for the fans and very few others. [Issue#127, p.83]

    There are some strong moments. But they are definitely not found within the visuals. Unfortunately Cyanide doesn’t manage to walk the tightrope between simulation with its energy management the team orders and the tactical components and pure arcade cycling without mechanical failures or even crashes.
