I noticed that you can modify the crash frequency in PCM 2015.
As default it stands as 20% i think.
Do you have any experience with this? and how high are your frequency?

I can tell that my frequency is %100, not everytime it happens a crash, by seeing this Tour de France and 'high pace years' in cycling make me thought seeing one-crash per race is pretty realistic and %100 is nice for the realistic.
What do you guys think?

Thats right. So if you modify the frequency to 100% it Will not appear too much?
That is what i am afraid off

I play with 160 % and it's just perfect (not too many crashes and not too few)
However Samuel Sanchez crashed 5 times on the cobble TdF stage xD

I started with 200 and keep moving it down until I get a realistic amount, I'm at 130 at the moment which is still a bit too often.
Although I like MARS' idea, how many riders reached the end of a GT?

I have them at 100% and think this is ok, if not a bit to much. |

This feature is worth celebrating imo, it's an excellent improvement. 120% seems to suit me - there are multi-rider crashes, but they're not too common. |

What types of crashes are there? Is it only one or two, or are there legitimate mass crashes? On PCM13 I felt like there were too many "solo-crashes", i.e. only one rider going down, even if he was smack dab in the middle of the peloton.
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

There are more mass crashes than 13'. I Think the biggest ive witnessed is 25 riders. So much Better than 13'.

I rode some TdFs (didn't finsh any of them, though) in single race mode with 300% crash frequency and I've never noticed Froome, Nibali or Contador having a crash. Is it coincidence or the biggest favourites are rarely hampered by crashes in general? |

Well I had it in 100% but I was allways crashing so I put it to 50%. But to be honest every time my leader crashes I just restart the race xD |

I find 120% to be a nice amount. Might up it a little soon, depending on how it goes haha
When you can't decide between two options, flip a coin. Not because the result of the coin will choose for you, but because, in that split second before the coin lands, you'll know what side you want it to fall on. |

I've been giving it some thought, and I don't think my 200% is enough.
After several GT's, I've noticed that too many survive all three weeks. They crash, but it never really has an effect. So I'm thinking more crashes is needed.

I'm playing with 300% at the moment, and so far Bauke Mollema lost his mountain jersey, and his 3rd place in the Giro, because he did abandon on the last stage.
Also, Alberto Contador fell on the Champs Elysées, and got a 2nd place instead of 1st
