Hello, this game is great, but there are a few features I’d love to see added:
1. Online Career Mode: I think this would greatly enhance the multiplayer experience and the game overall. Competing with friends for trophies would be incredibly fun. If not a full career mode, then at least the option to add AI-controlled racers to multiplayer would be fantastic.
2. Larger Number of Racers on the Track: Just like in real biathlon, having more racers on the track would make the game feel more authentic.
3. Weather Conditions Affecting Shooting: Players would need to adjust their aim based on current conditions, which would add more realism to the shooting mechanics. These conditions could also influence AI performance.
4. Slipstream Effect: When skiing behind another biathlete, it would be great to implement reduced air resistance. This would make it less energy-consuming to stay behind someone and would add more tactical depth to the skiing aspect of the game.
5. More Biathletes and Tracks: While not as critical, having a greater variety of athletes and tracks would be a nice addition.
I’d be thrilled to see any of these features implemented in the future of this amazing game.
I also would love to see more athletes in races (60 in the sprint and individual and 30 in the pursuit and mass start.) I guess since there wouldn't be enough athletes to even fill in the IBU cup in the career, it won't work that well. You'd have to create athletes or select full 4 leagues for careers.
3. The energy saved from the race could be used in the next race.
4. More competitors:
sprint 90
fighter 60
individual 90
mass start 30
5. Add health problems and health status to the career.
6. The online mode should be able to connect with anyone, not just those you know. Unfortunately it doesn't even work. If someone could give me some advice, I would be happy.
7. New tracks:
Arber, Idre Fjaell, Sjusjoen, Ridnaun, Brezno, and Jakuszyce.
8. For relays that will be completed by a lap, the LAP mode should be used.
I wish you the best of luck in the further course of your work. It's an amazing game, and maybe you could also make games about skiing or archery, which I do in my spare time.
Hello. I totally agree. May I ask you that if you have problems with career in the game? Beacuse i have these problems, i want to play career, but i cant click into it.
They posted on their YouTube channel changelog for version beta-8. Basically they changed some maps to be more accurate in terms of length, so the tracks have 3 layouts (if I remember correctly) depending on the type of race. Although, they only managed to do it for like three tracks so in version beta-8 they disabled carrer mode - it wouldn't make sense to have carrer with only three track
I don't think there is a camera on the 32nd athlete in any race because when I try to follow them, nothing happens. Is this a bug or just something that was missed?
Hello, I would like to praise you in advance for what a great game you have come up with, I just thought of a few modifications
1. A larger circuit
It usually takes me a minute or a little more to go around the circuit, in reality it's five minutes, plus it would be good to give the tracks more reality to be as realistic as possible.
2. Larger penalty wheels
In reality, it slows down the athlete for 20-25 seconds, in the game only 5-7 seconds, I understand of course that it is adapted to the length of the circuit.
3. 30 pads
There are 21 mats in the game, and that bothers us quite a bit in relays, because if I can put 25 relays, 4 random teams won't let us into the game.
If it were possible, it would be great.
4. LAP, DSQ
Also, if the first driver overtakes someone, he can continue and not have a LAP like in reality, if you could modify it, it would be great. Or DSQ for those who broke something or took advantage of bugs in the game.
5. More athletes
Lately there are a lot of promising athletes from weaker countries such as (Men: Mikyska, Todev, Makarov, Coltea, Shamaev, Connelly, Sklenarik, Kireyev, Mackels, Beauvais, Siimer, Women: Hristova, Dimitrova, Tolmacheva, Kapustova, Z. Remenova, M. Remenova, Cloetens, Kuelm) who you could add to the game in the future
6. Weather
Most of the time, the fog doesn't have that much effect on the shooting, which would be great if it could be changed, that in the Career it would be given how strong the fog will be, or how strong the wind will be, and this could affect the race a lot.
Otherwise, thanks for bringing us constant updates, you're doing a great job, I just had six things that would make the game better.
The stats of all the athletes after the 2023-24 season was over were changed to match the performance of the athlete from that season, but then we couldn't access the 2022-23 stats. A feature where you could choose which year you want the athlete's stats to match would be cool. This would mean for careers that you could have a career that is more similar to real life than just having the athletes upgrade/downgrade stats normally, and at the end of a season, you could choose if you want to have the athlete's real stats from a particular season, or change the stats from training regularly.
First, I want to say I absolutely love this game, and I know it takes time to make updates. I appreciate everything you did to make this game. I just have a few things I'd love to see in the future!
1. Something I find a bit annoying is that I have to delete a created athlete to change their face, and if I do that it messes up the career. It would be nice to be able to change an athletes face that you've made after it's created.
2. Can you make the parameter "shooting speed" more spaced out. IRL, athletes can gain a lot of time by shooting fast, and in the game, you can only gain about 1 or 2 seconds max. This would definitely make shooting faster more important.
3. Can you also add bot photo finishes? Maybe you could click on a name in the standings and you'd be able to see their photo finish.
4. In real life there are a lot of relay teams even in the men's and women's relay. In the game, I sometimes only have like 5 or 6 teams; in the next update, could you add a whole bunch of athletes from minor countries and also more athletes for lower cups such as Tamara Steiner, Lea Rothschopf, Maya Cloetens, Valentina Dimitrova, Lora Hristova, Maria Zdravkova, Benita Peiffer, Susan Kuelm, Noora K. Keranen, Sonja Leinamo, Johanna Puff, Hannah Auchentaller, Beatrice Trabucchi, Karoline Erdal, Natalia Sidorowicz, Anastasia Tolmacheva, Emma Kapustova, Maria and Zuzanna Remenova, Lea Meier, Khrystina Dmytrenko, and Kelsey Dickinson for the women.
And for the men: Tomas Mikyska, Kristo Siimer, Danilo Riethmueller, Patrick Braunhofer, Renars Birkentals, Maksim Makarov, Johan O. Botn, George Coltea and Viktor Brandt.
5. I would like to be able to look back on the ending scores for a previous career season, (transfer the data from the "Total Score" and "Results" section of the season to the season summary), and also to add prone and standing accuracy separately in the summary.
6. New tracks for IBU competitions such as Arber, Idre Fjaell, Sjusjoen, Ridnaun, Brezno, and Jakuszyce would be appreciated.
7. I would also like something along the lines of slip-stream. For example, if you're directly behind an athlete, you lose a lot less energy.
8. I loved the animations you did for the start of the races for beta 6.1. Another thing to possibly add is for the beginning of the races, you could have the cameraman go to the top starters and have the athletes wave. I would also like to see an extension of the podium cutscene if it's possible; maybe have an announcer calling up each athlete. Discipline globe ceremonies as well as relay podiums would be appreciated. Also, medals for the top three instead of flowers in the World Championship and Olympics.
9. I think this would add a lot but is only a small innovation is an athlete's height It could affect the look of the athlete and possibly how the targets appear when they shoot! Another small innovation that could add to the game is left-handed athletes.
10. When biathletes are competing in a venue from the country they represent, the skiing parameters should all be pumped up a little and the rifle should fluctuate slightly more during shooting (showing nerves in front of home crowd.) I also think the fans should cheer for their athletes too, instead of just for me.
11. When a biathlete tucks on the downhill, you could add the little foot movements they do so it looks more natural when the athlete changes direction.
Thank you! (Don't know if you have any of this planned for upcoming updates!)
Great game! I don't know how difficult it will be but please add the ability to add bots in online races. Currently we are 3 guys playing and it will be way more fun to race against 15 bots, for example.
Thank you for adding the winner announcement in the upcoming update(25.3) and even if someone wins the wow globe it looks great. I just want to compliment you on the great game design and also suggest some improvements.
1. Athletes
Recently, I see a lot of promising biathletes in Biathlon who could definitely come into the game, especially in the weaker teams, so that there are more relays as needed (Bulgaria, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Japan, Korea and more)
Women: Valentina Dimitrova, Tamara Steiner, Lea Rothschopp, Lora Hristova, Ema Kapustova, Zuzana Remenova, Kristina Oberthaler, Noora Kaisa Keranen, Lidiia Zhurauskaite, Natalia Sidorowich, Anastassia Tolmacheva, Lena Repinc, Lea Meier, Margie Freed and also Khrystyna Dmytrenko (was excellent in NMNM)
Men: Blagoy Todev, Tomas Mikyska, Vitezslav Hornig, Dominik Unterweger, Markus Oberhauser, Mikulas Karlik, Kristo Siimer, Heikki Laitinen, Vladislav Kireyev, Renars Birkentals, Tomas Kaukenas, Maksim Fomin, Jokubas Mackine, Maksim Makarov, Jan Gunka, Marcin Zawol, George Coltea, Dmitrii Shamaev, Matic Repnik, Victor Brandt, Johan Olav Botn, Danillo Riethmuller, Maxime Germain, Vincent Bonacci, Elia Zeni.
2. Relays
Sometimes it happens to me that I can set up 24 relays like at the World Championships, but unfortunately three random countries throw it out for me, so in the future 30 states so that we can put together more relays, plus when the circuit is short, it happens that Norway finishes maybe five teams around, it would be good to have a circuit at least somewhat realistic, because the leading teams will slowly slow them down, it would also be good to have DNS or LAP when they pass someone, or DSQ when someone uses mistakes in the game to their advantage.
3. New Tracks
I would also definitely appreciate new routes like (Ridnau, Idre, Sjusnoen, Brezno, Arber, Obertiliach for IBU competitions)
4. More Starters
I would appreciate it if there were more competitors on a larger circuit, maybe 60 or more, and to do it like a real start list, so that you would turn the pages of the start list and or at the finish line you would see 10 members of the table up to maybe 60 as it is in TV that you would scroll through the start statistics and other parameters.
5. Weather
Certainly, if it could be as strong as the fog could be, for example 25% or 100%, where even the robots would make a lot of mistakes, because in the fog almost everyone takes it easy, but the wind could also be controlled, for example the wind strength could be set ( In a career it would obviously be a given)
6. Adding more cameras
For example, cameras for starters more than 10, I don't know about you, but I don't know how to put a camera on the starter with number eleven, if anyone knows, please write.
7. Helpers and fans or more decorations
Coaches, I miss the shooter, or more fans along the lines from the flags, or that the fans would scream when the local French in Annecy hits a target, not only when I shoot.
8. It would also be great to know when someone finishes in the Career, more detailed statistics, for example, his maximum in the World Cup was 5th place at the Olympic Games, for example, 2nd place and other super stats for the entire time he was riding in my career. And also so that when I ride the relay, I start with number 10 and work my way up to 2 instead of lying down in the 2 position, it would be good to set it like in Mass Start that I lie down from where I started.
Otherwise, thank you for every other update, you are amazing for making this game for us.
It's been a year since I last tried your game, and I have to say that I'm impressed and happy to see that it has improved quite a bit, the atmosphere of the competitions feels much more authentic, the crowd sound effects are better, and also the sounds in the shooting range.
I have always preferred career modes/management games over anything else. So with this, I have to say that the career mode would need some changes for it to be fun to play. I'm still not a fan of 42 athletes per league with 4 divisions, if you could change this to 50 athletes with 30 in mass start, and maybe 35 in pursuit then I think already having IBU WC 50 athletes + IBU B 50 athletes, and Ibu Juniors 50 athletes - 3 divisions with 150 athletes in total would be quite good, without this Europe Cup. I also use fill all the spots so I have full divisions for both men and women. It would be nice if after the season ends there's more information about who retired and who came in as new from youth ranks. Currently it shows the retired athletes and their age but nothing else. I suggest something like this ~ Retired athletes : Benedikt Doll, age 33, division IBU WC, 6th position, Mona Brorsson, age 33, division IBU B, 7th position and then a list of new athletes who were promoted. And perhaps also like history page, where I could see the results of previous seasons too.
And also, currently we can edit athletes before you start a career, but can you change so we could make changes also during the season? For example, I would like to be able to edit the names and nations of new athletes(not skills) , just so I could make national teams more balanced. I had 2 new Estonians and 2 new Finns come in after season 1, with both having the same name! :D I added an image too, 2 new Estonians named Sergei Kukk and 2 Finns named Suoma Pekka which is weird :) Having the ability to change names and nations would at least let doubles not happen :)
Tout nouveau sur ce superbe jeu de biathlon, je souhaite jouer en ligne mais a chaque fois ça me met qu'il faut que je télécharge la dernière mise à jour du jeu mais je possède bien la version 6.2...
Salut Caillou ! En fait y a eu une sorte de MAJ cachée dans la 6.2 elle même je crois que c'est pour mettre le mode été en ligne du coup il faut juste la réinstaller (si tu regardes c'est marqué sur la page là que la 6.2 est sorti y a 53 jours alors que quand tu arrives au téléchargement de la 6.2 y a marqué que ça a été modifié y a 16 jours)
Salut ! Merci pour l'info j'ai effectivement maintenant accès au mode en ligne ! Je vais essayer de me perfectionner encore un peu (surtout au tir) pour venir jouer en ligne ^^
D'ailleurs si tu veux on a créé un serveur avec une 2 compet sur le jeu qui se passent les week-end le seul problème c'est qu'on est genre 9 inscrits et on est 4 ou 5 max chaque week-end donc on recherche des gens ^^'
Hello ! Bah moi ça m’intéresse toujours, même si je suis pas un grand joueur sur ce jeu ! En solo je me débrouille (même si parfois le tir c’est pas simple) ! Donc moi je suis open ;)
Je m'adresse ici à toutes les personnes voulant un peu d'activité sur NGL Biathlon. Avec mon cousin, nous avons créé un serveur dans lequel si assez de personnes se présentent se déroulera un championnat de biathlon sur plusieurs saison !! Nous n'avons pas encore finis de développer toutes les petites règles à propos de cela mais n'importe qui voulant participer au développement de ce serveur est la bienvenue !! (lien d'invitation au serveur discord : https://discord.gg/zrsckfxk et si ça ne fonctionne pas vous pouvez me contacter sur mon discord : valco7550)
The same opinion for my part, the game is really good, but the penalty rounds are not effective enough, a 15 second would be good , thank and congratulation for your game :)
Hi, Please can you make the penalty laps bigger? Irl it takes like 30seconds, but in the game it takes 5 seconds. make it at least 15s, becouse i know the track is smaller then irl. Thanks so much, i would really love to see this in the new update.
Bonsoir, je voulais savoir si un mode carrière en ligne ou si l'ajout de bot en ligne était en cours de développement ? ça pourrait vraiment être incroyable on attend ça avec impatience avec mon cousin. Et je voulais également report une mauvaise nationalité : dans le jeux, Campbell Wright est désigné comme Néozélandais mais il a changé de nationalité il est Américain maintenant ! Sinon merci à vous pour le jeu il est masterclass c'est incroyable d'y jouer j'en suis à ma 3 eme carrière avec près de 7 saisons finis en solo !! Merci pour le jeu et bonne continuation !!
This game is really fun but it feels a little lacking at times, I agree with the points Adam Rys but to me it's not a deal breaker, it would be nice if there were some kind of wind physics and you can correct to optic depending on the wind. And have some sort of pre shooting before a race to configure the optic. Might be hard to implement something like that now, but hopefully in the future!
I have been playing your game since Alpha 6, the game is great and I look forward to every update. I don't want to criticize your work, you are doing a great job.
1. Online Mode
- I have been playing the online mode with friends for a little over a year now actively, no less it would be better to add more online players, of course just enough to make the game manageable.
- I would also appreciate more online tournaments, which are great, but there could definitely be more.
2. Relays
- I've been actively watching biathlon for about 6 years now and lately in mixed relays I sometimes see men starting and women finishing, of course if it could be done it would be great.
- for individual relays it would be good to make it like in reality that after 2 shots you pass.
3. Race courses
- because one lap takes 1 minute and 30 seconds, and that means that many relays are often passed by and sometimes the first relay is passed by the other relays, it would be good to make the courses longer and make them a little bit more realistic, after passing someone the biathlete would have to stop and should get a DNF or LAP.
- It would be good to put DSQ in the race, racers who broke something for example that they used a mistake and shortened the race, they would finish but they should get DSQ for breaking the rules.
- Also include IBU Cup courses in the courses for example - Obertiliach, Brezno, Idre, Sjuejoen, Ridnaun or Lenzerheide.
4. Other improvements
- extension of the penalty lap
- more competitors in sprint and individual
- 30 states for biathletes, sometimes it happens that I can have 24 male relays but 3 random relays will cancel.
- When there would be more athletes, it would be good to see the results at the start and finish as in reality, in 10 position tables, that I could scroll the tables of results, run times, and other stats.
- Adding a Coach or Team Helper.
- announcing the winners
- crash simulation
- weather settings, that I could set the fog and set how thick it will be if medium or almost nothing will be visible, same for wind that I could set that there will be an awful lot of wind when shooting which will affect the robots and me, of course in career and online tournaments it would be automatically given what the fog will be after the wind preparation.
Thank you very much of course for making this game for all of us, I'm so glad this game exists. Keep on with your fantastic journey to an amazing game.
Il me semble qu'il existe quelques beugs sur votre jeu.
Premièrement lors d'une accélération avec la touche espace, il m'est impossible de faire autre chose à part tourner sur la droite. Je ne peux tourner sur la gauche ou accéder au temps des adversaires.
Secondement, il y a une latence parfois très importante pour se mettre en position pour descendre, d'avantage encore si la touche espace est utilisée.
Ces deux problème complique de nombreuses courses et donnent un temps de ski médiocre. Jouant au jeu régulièrement depuis ans, je n'avais jamais eu ces beug sur les précédentes versions. Suis-je le seul ?
Pourquoi ne pas ajouter un système de forme et de fatigue à la pro cycling manager afin de cibler des périodes dans la saison et permettre une plus grande disparité dans les résultats ?
Hello, I have downloaded the beta 6 version and I have encountered quite a major problem with it. I've noticed it has changed format of storing saves in AppData/LocalLow/…/mysave . Now there is a folder for each save containing multiple .ngldata files instead of one file per save. Which sadly means that it is incompattible with older versions. I have my save from beta 4 where I have loads of custom athletes (which took forever to make) and now I cannot transfer them to the new version. What can I do? PLEASE HELP

Log in with itch.io to leave a comment.
is it considerable to create such game but with cross-country skiing (2 styles of skiing and distances + sprints)?
This would be cool. I've been a cross-country skiing fan since before a biathlon fan!
when the new version will be available here for free?
Never...
Hello this game will become free or the full version is only for patreon sub?
Can not download game
Hello, this game is great, but there are a few features I’d love to see added:
1. Online Career Mode: I think this would greatly enhance the multiplayer experience and the game overall. Competing with friends for trophies would be incredibly fun. If not a full career mode, then at least the option to add AI-controlled racers to multiplayer would be fantastic.
2. Larger Number of Racers on the Track: Just like in real biathlon, having more racers on the track would make the game feel more authentic.
3. Weather Conditions Affecting Shooting: Players would need to adjust their aim based on current conditions, which would add more realism to the shooting mechanics. These conditions could also influence AI performance.
4. Slipstream Effect: When skiing behind another biathlete, it would be great to implement reduced air resistance. This would make it less energy-consuming to stay behind someone and would add more tactical depth to the skiing aspect of the game.
5. More Biathletes and Tracks: While not as critical, having a greater variety of athletes and tracks would be a nice addition.
I’d be thrilled to see any of these features implemented in the future of this amazing game.
Glad you enjoyed the game!
We will work on the game further and quite all features that you wrote are in our todo list. Except point 2
I also would love to see more athletes in races (60 in the sprint and individual and 30 in the pursuit and mass start.) I guess since there wouldn't be enough athletes to even fill in the IBU cup in the career, it won't work that well. You'd have to create athletes or select full 4 leagues for careers.
The game is very good, I appreciate the approach and I play it every day.
What I personally lack there or what needs to be improved:
1. a longer penalty circle of at least 10 seconds and not 6-7 seconds.
2. More biathletes than:
Mikyska, Todev, Makarov, Coltea, Shamaev, Connelly, Sklenarik, Kireyev, Mackels, Beauvais, Siimer, Hristova, Dimitrova, Tolmacheva, Kapustova, Z. Remenova, M. Remenova, Cloetens, Kuelm
3. The energy saved from the race could be used in the next race.
4. More competitors:
sprint 90
fighter 60
individual 90
mass start 30
5. Add health problems and health status to the career.
6. The online mode should be able to connect with anyone, not just those you know. Unfortunately it doesn't even work. If someone could give me some advice, I would be happy.
7. New tracks:
Arber, Idre Fjaell, Sjusjoen, Ridnaun, Brezno, and Jakuszyce.
8. For relays that will be completed by a lap, the LAP mode should be used.
I wish you the best of luck in the further course of your work. It's an amazing game, and maybe you could also make games about skiing or archery, which I do in my spare time.
Hello. I totally agree. May I ask you that if you have problems with career in the game? Beacuse i have these problems, i want to play career, but i cant click into it.
They posted on their YouTube channel changelog for version beta-8.
Basically they changed some maps to be more accurate in terms of length, so the tracks have 3 layouts (if I remember correctly) depending on the type of race.
Although, they only managed to do it for like three tracks so in version beta-8 they disabled carrer mode - it wouldn't make sense to have carrer with only three track
Okey, thanks.
Hello.
Career mode is not possible
Why
Do you need a right of access?
Thanks to you I didn't download version 8 yet, I don't want to risk losing my career record.
J'ai créer un serveur discord pour faire une compétition sur le jeu voici le lien:

And for the men: Tomas Mikyska, Kristo Siimer, Danilo Riethmueller, Patrick Braunhofer, Renars Birkentals, Maksim Makarov, Johan O. Botn, George Coltea and Viktor Brandt.

Hi guys,
i agree with adam rys because i asked myself why are relays still on the track and not LPD or DNS like that is kinda questioning.
Anyways keep the good work up
Hi guys,
Great game! I don't know how difficult it will be but please add the ability to add bots in online races. Currently we are 3 guys playing and it will be way more fun to race against 15 bots, for example.
Keep up the good work!
Hello
Thank you for adding the winner announcement in the upcoming update(25.3) and even if someone wins the wow globe it looks great. I just want to compliment you on the great game design and also suggest some improvements.
1. Athletes
Recently, I see a lot of promising biathletes in Biathlon who could definitely come into the game, especially in the weaker teams, so that there are more relays as needed (Bulgaria, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Japan, Korea and more)
Women: Valentina Dimitrova, Tamara Steiner, Lea Rothschopp, Lora Hristova, Ema Kapustova, Zuzana Remenova, Kristina Oberthaler, Noora Kaisa Keranen, Lidiia Zhurauskaite, Natalia Sidorowich, Anastassia Tolmacheva, Lena Repinc, Lea Meier, Margie Freed and also Khrystyna Dmytrenko (was excellent in NMNM)
Men: Blagoy Todev, Tomas Mikyska, Vitezslav Hornig, Dominik Unterweger, Markus Oberhauser, Mikulas Karlik, Kristo Siimer, Heikki Laitinen, Vladislav Kireyev, Renars Birkentals, Tomas Kaukenas, Maksim Fomin, Jokubas Mackine, Maksim Makarov, Jan Gunka, Marcin Zawol, George Coltea, Dmitrii Shamaev, Matic Repnik, Victor Brandt, Johan Olav Botn, Danillo Riethmuller, Maxime Germain, Vincent Bonacci, Elia Zeni.
2. Relays
Sometimes it happens to me that I can set up 24 relays like at the World Championships, but unfortunately three random countries throw it out for me, so in the future 30 states so that we can put together more relays, plus when the circuit is short, it happens that Norway finishes maybe five teams around, it would be good to have a circuit at least somewhat realistic, because the leading teams will slowly slow them down, it would also be good to have DNS or LAP when they pass someone, or DSQ when someone uses mistakes in the game to their advantage.
3. New Tracks
I would also definitely appreciate new routes like (Ridnau, Idre, Sjusnoen, Brezno, Arber, Obertiliach for IBU competitions)
4. More Starters
I would appreciate it if there were more competitors on a larger circuit, maybe 60 or more, and to do it like a real start list, so that you would turn the pages of the start list and or at the finish line you would see 10 members of the table up to maybe 60 as it is in TV that you would scroll through the start statistics and other parameters.
5. Weather
Certainly, if it could be as strong as the fog could be, for example 25% or 100%, where even the robots would make a lot of mistakes, because in the fog almost everyone takes it easy, but the wind could also be controlled, for example the wind strength could be set ( In a career it would obviously be a given)
6. Adding more cameras
For example, cameras for starters more than 10, I don't know about you, but I don't know how to put a camera on the starter with number eleven, if anyone knows, please write.
7. Helpers and fans or more decorations
Coaches, I miss the shooter, or more fans along the lines from the flags, or that the fans would scream when the local French in Annecy hits a target, not only when I shoot.
8. It would also be great to know when someone finishes in the Career, more detailed statistics, for example, his maximum in the World Cup was 5th place at the Olympic Games, for example, 2nd place and other super stats for the entire time he was riding in my career. And also so that when I ride the relay, I start with number 10 and work my way up to 2 instead of lying down in the 2 position, it would be good to set it like in Mass Start that I lie down from where I started.
Otherwise, thank you for every other update, you are amazing for making this game for us.
Hello, greetings from Estonia!
It's been a year since I last tried your game, and I have to say that I'm impressed and happy to see that it has improved quite a bit, the atmosphere of the competitions feels much more authentic, the crowd sound effects are better, and also the sounds in the shooting range.
I have always preferred career modes/management games over anything else. So with this, I have to say that the career mode would need some changes for it to be fun to play. I'm still not a fan of 42 athletes per league with 4 divisions, if you could change this to 50 athletes with 30 in mass start, and maybe 35 in pursuit then I think already having IBU WC 50 athletes + IBU B 50 athletes, and Ibu Juniors 50 athletes - 3 divisions with 150 athletes in total would be quite good, without this Europe Cup. I also use fill all the spots so I have full divisions for both men and women. It would be nice if after the season ends there's more information about who retired and who came in as new from youth ranks. Currently it shows the retired athletes and their age but nothing else. I suggest something like this ~ Retired athletes : Benedikt Doll, age 33, division IBU WC, 6th position, Mona Brorsson, age 33, division IBU B, 7th position and then a list of new athletes who were promoted. And perhaps also like history page, where I could see the results of previous seasons too.
And also, currently we can edit athletes before you start a career, but can you change so we could make changes also during the season? For example, I would like to be able to edit the names and nations of new athletes(not skills) , just so I could make national teams more balanced. I had 2 new Estonians and 2 new Finns come in after season 1, with both having the same name! :D I added an image too, 2 new Estonians named Sergei Kukk and 2 Finns named Suoma Pekka which is weird :) Having the ability to change names and nations would at least let doubles not happen :)
Bonjour,
Tout nouveau sur ce superbe jeu de biathlon, je souhaite jouer en ligne mais a chaque fois ça me met qu'il faut que je télécharge la dernière mise à jour du jeu mais je possède bien la version 6.2...
Quelqu'un peut-il m'aider ?
Salut Caillou ! En fait y a eu une sorte de MAJ cachée dans la 6.2 elle même je crois que c'est pour mettre le mode été en ligne du coup il faut juste la réinstaller (si tu regardes c'est marqué sur la page là que la 6.2 est sorti y a 53 jours alors que quand tu arrives au téléchargement de la 6.2 y a marqué que ça a été modifié y a 16 jours)
Salut ! Merci pour l'info j'ai effectivement maintenant accès au mode en ligne ! Je vais essayer de me perfectionner encore un peu (surtout au tir) pour venir jouer en ligne ^^
D'ailleurs si tu veux on a créé un serveur avec une 2 compet sur le jeu qui se passent les week-end le seul problème c'est qu'on est genre 9 inscrits et on est 4 ou 5 max chaque week-end donc on recherche des gens ^^'
Hello ! Bah moi ça m’intéresse toujours, même si je suis pas un grand joueur sur ce jeu ! En solo je me débrouille (même si parfois le tir c’est pas simple) ! Donc moi je suis open ;)
Le lien du discord c'est ça : https://discord.gg/zrsckfxk sinon mon discord c'est valco7550
Je m'adresse ici à toutes les personnes voulant un peu d'activité sur NGL Biathlon. Avec mon cousin, nous avons créé un serveur dans lequel si assez de personnes se présentent se déroulera un championnat de biathlon sur plusieurs saison !! Nous n'avons pas encore finis de développer toutes les petites règles à propos de cela mais n'importe qui voulant participer au développement de ce serveur est la bienvenue !! (lien d'invitation au serveur discord : https://discord.gg/zrsckfxk et si ça ne fonctionne pas vous pouvez me contacter sur mon discord : valco7550)
Hello ,
Hi, Please can you make the penalty laps bigger? Irl it takes like 30seconds, but in the game it takes 5 seconds. make it at least 15s, becouse i know the track is smaller then irl. Thanks so much, i would really love to see this in the new update.
Hello,
First i love your game, its hard for me in medium but i keep going
I just have one question i buy item in shop and i can't change it in my career i can only change ski
Bonsoir, je voulais savoir si un mode carrière en ligne ou si l'ajout de bot en ligne était en cours de développement ? ça pourrait vraiment être incroyable on attend ça avec impatience avec mon cousin. Et je voulais également report une mauvaise nationalité : dans le jeux, Campbell Wright est désigné comme Néozélandais mais il a changé de nationalité il est Américain maintenant ! Sinon merci à vous pour le jeu il est masterclass c'est incroyable d'y jouer j'en suis à ma 3 eme carrière avec près de 7 saisons finis en solo !! Merci pour le jeu et bonne continuation !!
Salut, est-il possible pour les prochaines mises à jour de modifier le nombre de participants aux épreuves, ce qui serait plus proche de la réalité
- 60 concurrents pour les sprints, individuels [100 en réalité]
- 40 concurrents pour les poursuites [60 dans la réalité]
- 30 concurrents pour les mass starts [30 en réalité].
Comme ça il y aura plus de concurrence dans les épreuves et plus de points attribués.
Sinon tu fait du très bon travail a chaque fois.
Merci pour tout.
Hello,
I would like to report a bug:
Used Version: NGL Biathlon Beta-6.1.
I do also sim racing and I have a lot of USB controllers (steering wheel, pedals, Gear stick, etc).
I think, these controllers mess up with the NGL Biathlon controls.
My Player is constantly turning in circles and the game becomes unplayable.
When I unplug all of my sim racing USB devices, the controls are back to normal.
This game is really fun but it feels a little lacking at times, I agree with the points Adam Rys but to me it's not a deal breaker, it would be nice if there were some kind of wind physics and you can correct to optic depending on the wind. And have some sort of pre shooting before a race to configure the optic. Might be hard to implement something like that now, but hopefully in the future!
Je ne peux pas télécharger car quand je télécharge cela me met en mode vidéo quand je doit ouvrir le téléchargemen
Hello
I have been playing your game since Alpha 6, the game is great and I look forward to every update. I don't want to criticize your work, you are doing a great job.
1. Online Mode
- I have been playing the online mode with friends for a little over a year now actively, no less it would be better to add more online players, of course just enough to make the game manageable.
- I would also appreciate more online tournaments, which are great, but there could definitely be more.
2. Relays
- I've been actively watching biathlon for about 6 years now and lately in mixed relays I sometimes see men starting and women finishing, of course if it could be done it would be great.
- for individual relays it would be good to make it like in reality that after 2 shots you pass.
3. Race courses
- because one lap takes 1 minute and 30 seconds, and that means that many relays are often passed by and sometimes the first relay is passed by the other relays, it would be good to make the courses longer and make them a little bit more realistic, after passing someone the biathlete would have to stop and should get a DNF or LAP.
- It would be good to put DSQ in the race, racers who broke something for example that they used a mistake and shortened the race, they would finish but they should get DSQ for breaking the rules.
- Also include IBU Cup courses in the courses for example - Obertiliach, Brezno, Idre, Sjuejoen, Ridnaun or Lenzerheide.
4. Other improvements
- extension of the penalty lap
- more competitors in sprint and individual
- 30 states for biathletes, sometimes it happens that I can have 24 male relays but 3 random relays will cancel.
- When there would be more athletes, it would be good to see the results at the start and finish as in reality, in 10 position tables, that I could scroll the tables of results, run times, and other stats.
- Adding a Coach or Team Helper.
- announcing the winners
- crash simulation
- weather settings, that I could set the fog and set how thick it will be if medium or almost nothing will be visible, same for wind that I could set that there will be an awful lot of wind when shooting which will affect the robots and me, of course in career and online tournaments it would be automatically given what the fog will be after the wind preparation.
Thank you very much of course for making this game for all of us, I'm so glad this game exists. Keep on with your fantastic journey to an amazing game.
Bonjour,
Je suis un joueur expérimenté de votre jeu.
Il me semble qu'il existe quelques beugs sur votre jeu.
Premièrement lors d'une accélération avec la touche espace, il m'est impossible de faire autre chose à part tourner sur la droite. Je ne peux tourner sur la gauche ou accéder au temps des adversaires.
Secondement, il y a une latence parfois très importante pour se mettre en position pour descendre, d'avantage encore si la touche espace est utilisée.
Ces deux problème complique de nombreuses courses et donnent un temps de ski médiocre. Jouant au jeu régulièrement depuis ans, je n'avais jamais eu ces beug sur les précédentes versions. Suis-je le seul ?
Pourquoi ne pas ajouter un système de forme et de fatigue à la pro cycling manager afin de cibler des périodes dans la saison et permettre une plus grande disparité dans les résultats ?
Merci pour votre travail en tout cas
HELP REQUEST:
Hello, I have downloaded the beta 6 version and I have encountered quite a major problem with it. I've noticed it has changed format of storing saves in AppData/LocalLow/…/mysave . Now there is a folder for each save containing multiple .ngldata files instead of one file per save. Which sadly means that it is incompattible with older versions. I have my save from beta 4 where I have loads of custom athletes (which took forever to make) and now I cannot transfer them to the new version. What can I do? PLEASE HELP
i need biathlon 3.1
