Pro Cycling Manager - Tour de France 2009 lets players experience an action-packed racing season, filled with more than 180 races - including the famed Tour de France and the Spain Tour (Vuelta). At the head of one of the 60 official teams available, or of the team you have custom-created, throw yourself into some of the biggest challenges: win a Tour, shine during the whole season, train a rising star or confirm a great champion -- the challenges are plentiful and allow you to play "your way", either for the glory of becoming a champion, or simply to enjoy racing.During Pro Cycling Manager's races, you intervene directly when it comes to the strategy and tactics of your team. As a sports director, you will also have to manage your team during the seasons: negotiating contracts, purchasing equipment, handling rider transfers, practice scheduling and all the other key elements that make up the daily job of a top-level team manager.
The 2009 edition offers a slew of new features, now allowing players to create their own teams. The graphic engine has been enhanced, with new visual effects for a more realistic experience during the races. Finally, new game modes and new ranking systems complete the game experience in solo and online play.
