It was in the options menu and I don't see it anymore there.
However, as I said I have not tried to play Career mode so maybe it was moved... ?

No, it has been removed because there is a totally different progression system.

The stats might develop a bit too fast but it's also your fault for taking advantage of the system and only developing the most important stats. You have 60 or lower flat, sprint and acceleration and just 61 endurance(?).

Still haven't tried out the new game but I'm really scared it might ruin career mode for me. With the default stat development you got to a point where most teams had 5 or 6 guys with 79 average or more, it made the in-race gameplay awful.

A quick question, coming from someone who didn't play PCM 14. Does Resistance still determine the amount of yellow bar you get? Can decide between the Punchuer, Climber and Stage Race training to try and improve the amount of yellow bar I have late on.

@Depeche That's the plan.
@Nutter yes
@Morganho The progression system has been extensively tested.

Thanks

Take advantage? Im going for stage races, so I train on stage races, so why should I train on sprint? and you dont need accelration, I mean some people do but there is differant way of play I almost never use accelration.

The only thing I wanted higher was endurance but I trained on stage races the entire first 1,5season without thinking to much so have changed to cliber now and develop endurance faster...

Well of course training more allround is a good idea. Struggling less on the flat, having a nice finishing sprint as stage-racer, gaining more RES, being better at longer distances(STA). Of course

Training as a puncher would actually be a good idea for you. Your HI is quite low and it'd increase STA as well.

I had a small laugh here considering that after one day Cyanide is already releasing a patch to slower down development...

but don't get me wrong. I'm liking a lot the new mode as expected =)
Unrelated, I just found out about the new mountain in-game screens on the top right corner, neat!

I just think that an optional slider, even with the new system, would've been better. It wouldn't be hard, all you'd need would be a *exp for Pro Cyclist. Haven't tried Career so can't comment on that, but there surely would be a way there too.

Hehe love that I'm in my third season already and now I've installed the patch. Means I had 2 years of fun-fun-fun good training and now slow down gradually.

First year with U23 team was nice, 6 victories in U23 races in total, so a big success. (19yrs old)
Second year with Bretagne. Wanted to race P-N but couldn't because I wasn't at the level yet, so I conquered KoM in Crit Int and went to the Dauphiné instead. Where I fought real nice for the KoM too and took it in the final stage! One victory this year only, but it's with the professionals so still good. Especially if that victory is French NC ITT! (EDIT: also won the time trial in Bessèges, had already forgotten about that)

Now moving on to third season. Only 21 years old and already a pretty good all-rounded stage racer, with 71 flat, 73 mo, 74 hill, 73 TT and (this is a bit too high in development but I can live with it) 80 rec. Only acc could be a problem (66), but aiming for a TT - stage racer anyway so acc matters less.

Totally love it. Will move away from Bretagne after this season and hopefully finish first Grand Tour (Vuelta?) at the age of 22 with a WT team (or a good offer from a PCT team going to the Vuelta). Do the Giro the year after at the age of 23 (or another Vuelta) but this time to go for a stage win or the KoM, opening the Tour level.

Season after that, at the age of 24, hope to compete in my first Tour de France. By then he'll be pretty good, too, so why not go full retard mode and go for the victory straight away, Bernard Hinault-style!
Not saying I'll succeed. But when I do, you'll hear from me

Why don't my team mates support me when im the GC rider?? Im riding alone.....

But my problem is that if I put training to hills, then I will get hills ofc and stamina, but I get 2 red arrows on time trial. And I think you gain more time from time trial stats then hills as a stage racer. So now I train climbers, I have good mountain stat so dont need that to much now but I do get Acc, stamina, RES etc

I was wondering if anyone knew what the money is for, it seems like it should do something but I don't know what.

Really pleased that this is living up to hype. I'm quite enjoying it at the moment.

I have decided to go with an American Sprinter/Cobbler and I'm going to quick sim all the races. Halfway through the first season he has 3 stage wins, 1 stage race win and winner of U23 Ronde van Vlaanderen. Good start I'd say. (76SP, 76ACC and 61COB). Major cobble training is next on my to do list.

Sounds great.
But do play some stages, too. Gameplay is amazing and you get a special vibe with the camera in Be a Pro mode.

I've got a million ideas already for pro's to make for the future great stuff. Also love how fast the season goes!

I have played a few stages at the beginning but I'm my laptop which has a screwed up number pad. I can't pause and move my cyclist at the same time. It's a few extra keystrokes which is really annoying as a sprinter type.

Does this help you, Mre?

I don't think so. My numbers pad has an * for the letter P. So if I want to pause the game I have to turn off the numbers pad otherwise it thinks I'm hitting the *. To move my cyclists around I have to turn the numbers pad back on.

Is there a way to simulate through events on the calendar. It only lets me go until my next race and then I have to manually quick sim each individual stage.
