This is the only real novelty of this album.
But let's go into the details, starting with the traditional career mode. The goal is again to take charge of a team and manage transfers, relationships with sponsors, schedules and training riders. We find the program in the form of diagram implemented in the previous
episode, which works quite well again. In parallel, we note the arrival of a comprehensive personnel management objectives runners throughout the season. It is a question of defining priority or secondary races taking into account the demands of sponsors, the money received by some of the organizers and of course tastes and desires of each rider. This subsequently influenced the moral, but also its shape and its fatigue, since the objectives are automatically added to the schedule. Thus gaining slightly more realistic as should now send the correct runner in every race. In general, this mode is very addictive and therefore quite interesting while providing a period of tremendous life. We just expected a little more news at this level.
Amazing graphics?

But this tree is on the road?
In the race, the situation is unfortunately the same. The goal is the same as every year: managing the effort of different riders on the team, the strategy (supplies, consumption of energy gel) and possibly launch attacks. We announced significantly improved including HD shirts (also available as mods for years) graphics, but I must admit that, in fact, the leap forward is not so obvious as that. The clipping is omnipresent, shadows are often slimy and / or buggy, optimization is far from exceptional and bugs end up ruining the table. We can see for example from time to time a tree in the middle of the road, which will be crossed without a care in the bunch. In short, it is more beautiful than in the past, but not breathtaking either. Obviously, it is not this is the essential criterion for judging a management game, but when the editor himself is the main selling point on its cover, you can ask questions. So, admittedly, some places such as the Champs-Elysées or the Mont Ventoux were reproduced more or less faithfully, although the behavior of the AI has been improved in the collar to stick to the maximum skimming phenomenon often observed, but remaining objective, we must admit that there is not enough there to really enhance the experience.
A questionable economic system

At the online game, we find the Armada mode has been delighting fans last year. A fashion similar to Ultimate Team, it proposes to collect cards of players and equipment divided into three categories: bronze, silver or gold. Each is obtained with money obtained by simply running or with real money. It can therefore be found in the first test against a Contador, a Froome (here called Vroome lack of license) or Samuel Sanchez unbeatable in the mountains. In short, the game is once again unbalanced by a questionable business model, might frustrate the beginner not wanting to pay. The result is mixed, although we appreciate the arrival of a voting system to speed up the time in the late stage. We were expecting more than just a simple update from a game sold 45 euros.
