How about an offline - Career or Mission Mode? I Think it would give an additional fun. What would you all think about it?

Maybe this misses the point of your question, but once you begin a ride you can disconnect your Zwifting device from internet and continue the ride but you will not see any other riders. As long as you reconnect internet before ending the ride you will be able to save it to the Zwift platform and any others you have connected (Strava, Garmin, etc.)

? What is ‘Career or Mission Mode’ ?

[_El_Cane_cyclemaniax]

@Tim_Gilbert For sure I know that i can ride on offline, but as you say it’s missing the point a little bit.

@Mark_Gallagher and @Tim_Gilbert what I mean is a new Gamemode. Maybe with a little story. For instance the zwifter starts as a hobbybiker and has complete same challenges. The more challenges he completes, the more he rises in his career. At the end he can become a champion.

If you want you can call it a single player mode.

It’s certainly been suggested before.

Game Mode & Career Mode

What you have here is what I would call a very basic Career Mode. It is all operated on time + blood + sweat + motivation. While it could use some tweaking in these areas with lower level goals so you are always striving to hit the next level. What you have now as said is just basic. Since Zwift has…

Single player career/story mode

This was posted before, but got no feedback, so trying again. I think a career mode would be cool, with a ‘build into a pro cyclist’ style single player mode where it is story/accomplishment driven.  You start as a local cyclist and have to race AI and complete workouts to develop your character to…

Single player career mode training plans

If Zwift were a playstation/xbox video game, it would definitely have a single player career mode. Start out as an amateur and work yourself up through the rankings. Go pro, learn how to be a domestique, and eventually have domestiques work for you. Progress through the game would be based on a tra…

Career mode and virtual races

This is really just thinking aloud but…what if there was some sort of career game mode? A sort of cross between Pro Cycling Manager and Zwift. Perhaps you start life as a domestique in a small team. You ride along in a peloton of AI riders, and are given tasks to do - dropping back to collect bottle…

Zwift and Pro Cycling Manager venture

Do a joint venture with the developers of the “Pro Cycling Manager” series (the most successful cycling game of all time, approx. 1/4 million sales each year since 2000).  You could use your tech to include using smart trainers as a way of controlling a rider in races within their game (online e.g.…

I think it’d be a great addition. I had an idea along these lines for something to build on top of Zwift, but they never opened up the API as they’d suggested they would early on.

ZwiftQuest and GoldRush were attempts to do fun game modes on top of Zwift, but neither were official or baked into the game (and both are long dead now I believe).

Thanks for clarifying. It would be interesting to try it. As Zwift grows both in user base and in longevity I believe it will need to expand what it means to use the Zwift platform.
