Pro Cycling Manager 25

Pro Cycling Manager 25 puts you in charge of a cycling team and its season. You manage sponsor relationships, shape your team to meet their requirements and compete on roads from the Tour de France, the Vuelta, the Classics and the Monuments. The game moves to Unreal Engine 5, with reworked landscapes, more realistic lighting, and improved rain effects including puddles and reflections.

Manage your sponsors

Sponsors bring budgets as well as conditions your team must meet. Requirements can include the sponsor’s territory or nationality, a minimum percentage of young riders, results targets, or exclusivity as the sole title sponsor. You need to choose offers and shape the team around the terms that best suit its future.

As the season progresses, your network of contacts grows and sponsors may approach you. Sponsors discovered during the season are initialized at the start of a game based on your chosen team and the level of your structure. You can sign them immediately or wait for other opportunities, risking that an interested sponsor may lose interest.

Interested sponsors are handled individually, and you can sign sponsors one by one. Your team can have from one to three title sponsors, with the number of partners in its name depending on the sponsors’ wishes and your choices.

Customize each game

Options are set separately for each game. You can adjust difficulty settings such as finances, the level of race opponents and sponsor objectives, as well as preferences including how quickly characteristics evolve, AI sponsor renewals and the recovery system.

Racing and team features

The AI has more realistic behavior, including improved drafting and sprint phases, more versatile sprinters, and teams that target hilly stages more effectively. Promotions and relegations are now determined by team rankings at the end of each season. The game also adds a sponsor summary page, objectives tied to sponsor membership requirements, accessibility options, the ability to rename backups, and more customized frames and helmets in the colors of major teams.
