A TDF game that actually feels alive, I enjoy it personally and I think its better than previous years

I have played few of these games over the years, including the 2024 and 2025, and I do genuinely enjoy playing them at times. However, there are some issues that they just can't or don't care to fix that make the game a lot less fun. The Peloton will often accelerate at the bottom of climbs to the point that basically everyone has to use their entire attack bar to keep up, making it almost impossible to attack even …

This is a very unique racing game that can be played a variety of ways. The second to second racing doesn't have a ton of mechanical depth and obvious sacrifices had to be made to simulate that many moving entities in a confined space. Outside of that small compromise the racing is still fast and enjoyable, and the strategy layers are deep and satisfying to explore. An easy recommend for racing strategy fans looking …

Honestly, It sucks and isn't worth the money. It's copy paste from every other year. Still 0 progression from year to year in career mode. just restarts the season with the same ratings. online mode isn't online. the leaderboards update at completely random times. everything you earn in online is just people and jersey's that are already in the game and only cosmetic for online mode where you'll never see another …

This game is ♥♥♥♥. No, the game is not, but the mechanics are. It might be a skill issue, but eventually I don't even play manually anymore, and fastforward, just to get the pro across the finishline to gain attribute upgrade points. And I can be 10th until the last 20km, saving up on Stamina, and the red sprint bar. I manage my Gels, just to be blasted past, by 80 riders, who seem to have no Stamina degredation, as …

Players who liked Tour de France 2026 talk about feels alive and better than previous years; those who didn't talk about copy-paste from previous years with no real progression. Which matters more to you?

neutral · AI labelView post →I bought Tour de France 2026 for the first time, since Pro Cycling Manager 2026 was delayed. These are my initial thoughts. The only pro I have, compared to Pro Cycling Manager 2025 is the way you can evolve your own rider. Otherwise I think Pro Cycling Manager 2025 is superior in almost every other aspect except for the commentary which have been the exactly same for the last 5+ iterations of Pro Cycling Manager. Some of the cons I have in Tour de France 2026 is: The VERY small race…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Basically impossible to win TDF, because pogi shreds every GC rider on Champs cobbles. This means that the only GT in the game is unwinable and it feels kinda pointless to play IMO

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game breaking issues, no support, performance issues. Crashes on launch, tried everything. Unacceptable
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is nearly the same exact game as last year. They added rain and bike handling changes, but otherwise the commentary is exactly the same, the music, the same lack of progression and age season after season. It's a huge disappointment from the studio that they cant make any more improvements
