Jaaaa .. Nope.
The Pro Cycling Manager Series is deteriorating from Year to Year.
A great Deal of emphasis is placed on the Presentation, which is more appealing from Year to Year.
The AI, on the other hand, is a Disaster: In the Beginning it still seemed like the AI had actually been improved (If I started a Sprint train, suddenly the other Sprinter teams stopped against it) I now have to say: Nö.
The AI is not sooo horny. Expulsion Attempts succeed far too often. And why did I become aware of the following Example: Tour of Oman, the only Mountain Stage in the Race. My top driver attacks. A (not even a mountain Fixed) Helper of a (Not exactly minore-resistant) sprint does follow-up work, because he is the Leader of the Tour. Anyone who is even a little familiar with Cycling can imagine that it is not seeeeehr likely that a Sprinter will defend a Leadership Jersey on a Mountain Stage (Except he has a 30 Minute Lead maybe ...)
The Game also has Bugs: For example, it is incredibly annoying that the Keyboard likes to fail again and again. While they are not completely out (You can usually continue to macerate several Drivers with Strg, or even pause the Game with ESC) but the Commands for Pause and the call of the Profile and the Information no longer react-this happens to me all 2-3 Races suddenly during the Race and work again at some point during the Race.
I could write a lot more, but spar it to me.
No. I can't recommend This Pro Cycling Manager part.
It's a Pity that year after Year the Developers take the 4-Year part of Steam, otherwise I'd rather recommend PCM13 to you. So you have the Chance to play PCM14, which is better by eeeSome.
I hope PCM 18 will be a good Game again.
But somehow, slowly, I don't believe in it anymore ...

Foreword: I don't actually write Reviews on such Fringe products (Fan Products), because they are very Different from taste and Viewpoints. I am also referring here to the Full Price of EUR 39.99.
First Impression (Cut-off point):-Graphics + Engine equal to 2016, which means that (as it looks in the Settings) the Video memory can read out no more than 4GB, which of course no longer meets today's standards-Surface of the Game (Career + Pro Cyclist) Also right away, with a few exceptions-changed:-have the fitness Settings, which can now be set more purposefully, in the Pro Cyclist I very much welcome the small Change-you now have to meet the Goals of the Manager by additional XP and (from now on new) the Wohlwol To buy (whether, if you permanently fail to meet them, I couldn't be kicked out, I haven't been able to test yet)-there is now a pre-season setting (what it now has in detail for Effects I can't say yet), in any case you can use it. At the Beginning of the season raise your Fitness Level, at the cost of Fatigue-you can now become a Song (Domestically) within the team or ask-everything else is the same As the 2016-there is no more Intro Video (at least not with me)-there is no German Synchro m ehr and that can be done with a Game that costs 39.99 euros not at all, if it cost 21.99 Euros then I could live with it, because there are other Products in the Price Division and for the Price, it would not be worthwhile for the developer publisher either. But it costs 39.99 Euros and is also a Standard of recent Years Conclusion so far: The Game is not recommended in the (felt unfinished) state for the Prize, not even for Fans of the Game.
So I can only say hands off or wait until it receives the Price I offer.
