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
pls the biathlon beta 6 and features all sportsmans in one carer and sprint and induvidual .2feature 60 sportsmans qualific mass start in pursuit 3.biggest penalti laps
Hello, in the beta5 update it always happens to me that after I leave an individual and a sprint, the sprint is repeated. You advise me so that this does not happen to me.
I like the game very much, but in the latest versions of Beta 3.1 and Beta 4, it often happens that when I try to turn on the career, I can't get further than the screen where you determine which league you want to start in and how many rounds the world cup will have, etc. And when if I succeed, for example, after the sixth race, then the race keeps repeating itself. Could someone advise me so that this does not happen to me again.
This game is actually such a great game. It is really worth playing with all the possibilities it proposes. I have so much fun playing it.
Suggestion:
- a system of shape in which athletes aren't in the same shape from one stage to another, or even from one course to another. This system could be random but also based on results: athletes making a good race could have a good shape on the next race, etc...
- On track, the feature that would be interested is a system in which you can use a bind to follow the athlete just before you, so that you can choose to try and stay with an athlete stronger than you to increase your chance to rivalize against him. What could be therefore intersting to add to this feature is the endurance bar that empties more or less depending on the difference of level between the two athletes following each other. I really think this feature would be very realistic and enjoyable to play.
- Penalty laps are a bit too short, I think making them longer should be interesting. The point is not necessarily to make twenty-second long penalty lap as in real life, but at least make them 15 seconds instead of 7.
Other than that, this game is the best biathlon game ever created and the amount of fun in it is just insane! I hope it is gonna be improved again and again to make it perfect! :)
Bonjour, je joue à NGL Biathlon depuis 1 mois, étant fan de biathlon il y a deux points de développements qui pourraient entrer dans le jeu en fonction de la difficulté de développement.
1er point, l'ajout d'une ou deux épreuves en relais.
- Le relais mixte; [avec 2 Femmes et 2 Hommes] les femmes passent en premières, les homme en seconds, ils ont 2 tires chacun [1 couché et 1 debout], ils ont chacun 3 balles de pioches et autant de tours de pénalité s'ils manques les 3 balles de pioches.
parcoure de 2 tours de 6 kms pour les 4 biathlètes
- Le relais mixte simple: avec 1 homme et 1 femme, les hommes commencent l`épreuve avec 1 tir couché et 1 tir debout, le relais ce fait à la sortie du pat de tir. ils font 2 tours de 6 kms.
Les femmes prennent le relais, elles font aussi 2 tours et 2 tirs, 1 couché et 1 debout, elles font le relais et les hommes refont 2 tirs et 2 tours, les femmes reprennent le relais pour refaire 2 tirs et 2 tours.
toujours avec les 3 balles de pioches pour chaque tir pour tous les participant.
2eme point: serait l`ajout de la météo pour le tir avec le vent pour ajouter de la difficulté au tir.
En tous cas tu fait du très bon et beau travail sur ce jeu, c'est très agréable à jouer, continue comme ça.
Greetings! First my respect for the work you all put in this game. This game is definitely better than the old Biathlon games of 2005-10. And they were made by Studios. I know it's for free but it was worth 30 bucks for me! I hope you don't loose the motivation for the product because i think the fanbase is growing.
The only things i hope for future updates are longer laps (5-7min.) to make it more tactical with the stamina and a little bit of tuning at the shooting, maybe simulating the breathing frequency, holding calmer with a button between the shots,....!
I have a very annoying bug on this game and I'va been having his bug for one year now...
When I have to skip a race (for instance after not qualifying for the pursuit), randomly I will have the yes button not advancing. So I will have to click No for the window to disappear and then again Yes to - perhaps - have something happens.
BUT the race is simulated and the points added to every racers each time I click on the YES button, so 21 qualified athletes will get a lot more points and the season standings is broken. (For correction of the Yes button freeze, I can add that the points are added but not the wins or podium in the medal sections)
I don't understand what you are calling a league... so difficult answer
Previously I had only one save. And one career in it.
To avoid th eproblem, I tried to duplicate my save to be able to overcome the problem and I now have 3 saves, with one career in each (at diffrent stages) but the problems still occurs very often and I had to stop playing for the moment.
a little new idea. When you are in career and racing for a country without enough athletes for the relay, it would be cool if you can race the relay in the world cup instead of your race in your league. That often happens in real too.
e.g Belgium what i race for. Zero relays un world cup bc not enough athletes.
or is there is limit of teams of 12?
so like i said in my other comment, Higher limit options everywhere
edit: i see in world cup. Too many racers from one country. Maybe a 6 men maximum bc germany and norway fills like everything XD
for the fact this is a free fun game, its very great and i see no other biathlon games on the market who can challenge this.
But for me as nordic ski fan 2 things are annoying me
1. The weird league system with 4 international leagues. In reality there are 2 leagues + 1 junior league for youth athletes.
1.1 Rivals and their carries option isnt avaiable??
2. 90 percent of the 2500 courses i know since little childhood. and its so sad, that there is nothing original.
WOuld be very nice to have a realistic mode with original racing courses and original times and obviously an original penatly course. i know, that many people want it faster, but for them the tracks which are here are very good.
Beside of this 2 points this is one of the 3 best games i ever played. ( the best sports game i ever played bc i just like ski sports and there is no good game besides of that)
edit: the problem with rival and their careers is a problem, bc when you start with 63 stats you will need 10 years to have the stats for the 1st league. And then they are all retiring

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.

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!

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
pls the biathlon beta 6 and features all sportsmans in one carer and sprint and induvidual .2feature 60 sportsmans qualific mass start in pursuit 3.biggest penalti laps
Hello, in the beta5 update it always happens to me that after I leave an individual and a sprint, the sprint is repeated. You advise me so that this does not happen to me.
Could you write about your problem to nordicgameslab@yandex.ru . We will try to help
Hello, i have the same probleme.
Have you found an answer?
Could you write about your problem to nordicgameslab@yandex.ru . We will try to help
what problem
Yes, I use it
I like the game very much, but in the latest versions of Beta 3.1 and Beta 4, it often happens that when I try to turn on the career, I can't get further than the screen where you determine which league you want to start in and how many rounds the world cup will have, etc. And when if I succeed, for example, after the sixth race, then the race keeps repeating itself. Could someone advise me so that this does not happen to me again.
Hello! May be you are using to play with 1 league in career?
This game is actually such a great game. It is really worth playing with all the possibilities it proposes. I have so much fun playing it.
Suggestion:
- a system of shape in which athletes aren't in the same shape from one stage to another, or even from one course to another. This system could be random but also based on results: athletes making a good race could have a good shape on the next race, etc...
- On track, the feature that would be interested is a system in which you can use a bind to follow the athlete just before you, so that you can choose to try and stay with an athlete stronger than you to increase your chance to rivalize against him. What could be therefore intersting to add to this feature is the endurance bar that empties more or less depending on the difference of level between the two athletes following each other. I really think this feature would be very realistic and enjoyable to play.
- Penalty laps are a bit too short, I think making them longer should be interesting. The point is not necessarily to make twenty-second long penalty lap as in real life, but at least make them 15 seconds instead of 7.
Other than that, this game is the best biathlon game ever created and the amount of fun in it is just insane! I hope it is gonna be improved again and again to make it perfect! :)
Hey if you need some help, i can support you. I'm very capable in sound design and engineering and maybe in creating skins. Great project! :)

Bonjour, je joue à NGL Biathlon depuis 1 mois, étant fan de biathlon il y a deux points de développements qui pourraient entrer dans le jeu en fonction de la difficulté de développement.
1er point, l'ajout d'une ou deux épreuves en relais.
- Le relais mixte; [avec 2 Femmes et 2 Hommes] les femmes passent en premières, les homme en seconds, ils ont 2 tires chacun [1 couché et 1 debout], ils ont chacun 3 balles de pioches et autant de tours de pénalité s'ils manques les 3 balles de pioches.
parcoure de 2 tours de 6 kms pour les 4 biathlètes
- Le relais mixte simple: avec 1 homme et 1 femme, les hommes commencent l`épreuve avec 1 tir couché et 1 tir debout, le relais ce fait à la sortie du pat de tir. ils font 2 tours de 6 kms.
Les femmes prennent le relais, elles font aussi 2 tours et 2 tirs, 1 couché et 1 debout, elles font le relais et les hommes refont 2 tirs et 2 tours, les femmes reprennent le relais pour refaire 2 tirs et 2 tours.
toujours avec les 3 balles de pioches pour chaque tir pour tous les participant.
2eme point: serait l`ajout de la météo pour le tir avec le vent pour ajouter de la difficulté au tir.
En tous cas tu fait du très bon et beau travail sur ce jeu, c'est très agréable à jouer, continue comme ça.
Bravo.
Greetings! First my respect for the work you all put in this game. This game is definitely better than the old Biathlon games of 2005-10. And they were made by Studios. I know it's for free but it was worth 30 bucks for me! I hope you don't loose the motivation for the product because i think the fanbase is growing.
The only things i hope for future updates are longer laps (5-7min.) to make it more tactical with the stamina and a little bit of tuning at the shooting, maybe simulating the breathing frequency, holding calmer with a button between the shots,....!
But again! Awesome work.
I have a very annoying bug on this game and I'va been having his bug for one year now...
When I have to skip a race (for instance after not qualifying for the pursuit), randomly I will have the yes button not advancing. So I will have to click No for the window to disappear and then again Yes to - perhaps - have something happens.
BUT the race is simulated and the points added to every racers each time I click on the YES button, so 21 qualified athletes will get a lot more points and the season standings is broken. (For correction of the Yes button freeze, I can add that the points are added but not the wins or podium in the medal sections)
Regards
Hello! Do you play with one league in your career?
I don't understand what you are calling a league... so difficult answer
Previously I had only one save. And one career in it.
To avoid th eproblem, I tried to duplicate my save to be able to overcome the problem and I now have 3 saves, with one career in each (at diffrent stages) but the problems still occurs very often and I had to stop playing for the moment.
thanks for support.
Got what the league is !
I'm racing in Men World Cup only. I have the simulate results of all the other leagues.
Don't remmeber is the Full 4 Leagues was set to Yes or No (think of No !)
Could you write about your problem to nordicgameslab@yandex.ru . We will try to help
a little new idea. When you are in career and racing for a country without enough athletes for the relay, it would be cool if you can race the relay in the world cup instead of your race in your league. That often happens in real too.
e.g Belgium what i race for. Zero relays un world cup bc not enough athletes.
or is there is limit of teams of 12?
so like i said in my other comment, Higher limit options everywhere
edit: i see in world cup. Too many racers from one country. Maybe a 6 men maximum bc germany and norway fills like everything XD
for the fact this is a free fun game, its very great and i see no other biathlon games on the market who can challenge this.
But for me as nordic ski fan 2 things are annoying me
1. The weird league system with 4 international leagues. In reality there are 2 leagues + 1 junior league for youth athletes.
1.1 Rivals and their carries option isnt avaiable??
2. 90 percent of the 2500 courses i know since little childhood. and its so sad, that there is nothing original.
WOuld be very nice to have a realistic mode with original racing courses and original times and obviously an original penatly course. i know, that many people want it faster, but for them the tracks which are here are very good.
Beside of this 2 points this is one of the 3 best games i ever played. ( the best sports game i ever played bc i just like ski sports and there is no good game besides of that)
edit: the problem with rival and their careers is a problem, bc when you start with 63 stats you will need 10 years to have the stats for the 1st league. And then they are all retiring
Greetings
Garry G.
