You just need to be more careful.
Injuries are a bit too frequent on my end, too, though. Others experiencing this, too?
Another problem here is sprinting. In 3D racing, sprinter (be a pro) randomly follows others or stops following. Very annoying when you can't rely on your team and can't evne rely on 'follow' button. |

Another one like this is when you're the GC rider, the stage has a sprint finish and your team's best sprinter decides he's going to protect you and do the water runs.
The most annoying thing about injuries is the lack of a message to say something has happened. You only find out when you press 'continue' and the stage gets simulated. |

AI is very annoying in cobble races when I'm having the highest COB stat in the race.
In E3 Harelbeke the group of 4 riders, including me, was formed at the front of the race with some distance to go. Those 3 other riders attacked me and I decided not to follow, because my energy bars were rather close to being empty. They quickly gained 1:30 advantage on me but stopped co-operating and I got them back very quickly with moderate effort. As soon as I caught them, they attack again, gain 1:30 advantage again, stop co-operating again and get caught by me with moderate effort again. Really annoing and unrealistic way for the race to evolve.
And it's also annoying climbers from my team like Zoidl and Boswell are sent to cobbled races while riders who could be more useful helpers for me, like Puccio and Van Baarle, are not. |

Hi Guys,
A quick question:
How do I view the course of the coming World Champs in advance? I'm playing as a heavy sprinter, so if the course is Valkenburg or Firenze, I will not prioritize - but if we are talking Doha/Copenhagen, then I might build my entire season around it.
I know I can see it in the Training screen when I get to the month of September, but at that time it is hard to correct the entire season planning...
if anyone is still wondering

I play now as a northern classics specialist and it's really annoying. I'm at least 3 points better in cobbles than any other rider in the game (I have 84 and 2nd best has 81), I also have 77 hills, so equally good or better than any other cobbled rider and I'm never able to ride away from other riders on cobbled sections or cobbled climbs. There are always at lest 3 guys who can stay on my wheel and beat me in the end. I have a good overall form, good daily form, good freshness and I play on medium only! I also have decent endurance, but it doesn't matter since I'm also unable to drop them in shorter races. I've never finished first or 2nd in PR, RVV, GW, E3, it's really frustriting, since I play on medium and I'm not a novice and had much better results in my other careers.
Maybe my resistance is too low (70)? |

In my current career, my pro always is riding the World Championships however I can't play it. Instead, it just gets simulated. (This way he even became World Champion..). Is there a work out around it, how can I avoid it or is just that the career is bugged (I could play the first WC, though afterwards I switched the date to 29.9?).

Had the very same problem with my last career. For me it was the last sign to change to career mode again. Be a Pro is fantastic idea but very bugged still, will need a few years to work properly I'm afraid  |

Started be a Pro career again, this time with an attacker. In first months (so still a bad rider) I try to get into the first breakaways. It is always 3 riders or less that are allowed to take time. If more than 3 riders, or the peloton chase them or (even worse) no-one cooperates until I completely drain myself upon which the peloton takes the breakaway. This is too strictly, they should allow breakaways of 7 - 10 or even more as in real life, no? |

I agree with you, imo the number of riders in the morning break is not dynamic enough, there should be a bit more variation thrown in.

I recently started playing the be a pro mode of the game. I've come across something that struck me as peculiar. I leveled up (for the, I think, third time) and it said that I'd gained two extra points in both my mountains and hills stats, yet they both remained at the same value as on the previous level. Is this a an error? Or am I missing something? |

When you reload the career it will be updated correctly, its a visual bug

Does anyone have a general strategy for choosing which team to sign a contract with?
I am speculating that being somewhere around the fifth best rider on a team would provide the best balance of opportunity and supporting cast. |

Since patch 1.2, you can no longer play Nations Cup events such as Tour de l'Avenir.

I've obviously come to this mode late, having only bought 15 a month ago. I love it. It's a much more immersive experience centering on one rider. I have a ton of questions and I hope there's enough life in this thread to answer them.
1. My 24 year old climber has hit Level 21, and last level-up he only received a total of four points. Does the rider tend to get less points as he goes through higher levels?
2. I have never trained the rider as a climber, yet he's turned into a fairly one-dimensional climber with MO 84. Is the "random" progression determined by what you choose to start with, as well as the training program you choose.
3. On the Rider Data page he's classified as a Climber with average rating of 78, but if you look at the progression chart he's rated as a Stage Racer 82. Why is he not classified as a Stage Racer 82: or is that not a real number?
4. I think I'm getting a bug where every session I play the rider will get the XP bonuses - Top 10, Top 5, Breakaways. In Season 4 riding the Giro he got an XP bonus saying "First breakaway of 25 km in Continental" for example. Has anyone else noticed this?
Lastly I noticed comments earlier in the thread about team-mates not supporting the player's rider because he's not listed as Leader. I have noticed the opposite: team-mates protected my rider, and in fact the team Leader relayed at the front when my guy was not ahead of the Leader on GC or favoured to win over the Leader. And my rider did go out and win the stage so it was the right decision.
Grateful for any responses. |

1.Indeed, and if you ask me it makes sense considering how fast he grows until then
2.Never seen that happening tbh, it obviously depends on what you were training him on as well. If you trained him as a fighter that shouldnt have definitely happened f.e., however it is possible that training him as a puncher or a stage racer the training doesn't give the wanted effect on his growth.
3.Those are 2 different numbers. The average is normally lower than the score you get in the training tab, which is based off less stats, namely the ones where your pro excels. Like, while the average takes into account the rider types typical stats and the backup stats, that score only takes into account the typical riders stats and in case of a stage racer, only a few backup stats such as acceleration resistance and recovery.
4.Yes that's unfortunate and you are definitely not the only one. Hasn't been fixed and will never be for pcm 15 at this point. |

2. It's a normal thing. I usually end up with at least one important skill underpowered in most of my Be a pro careers. I once ended up with underpowered flat despite being ONLY on barroudeur, time trial and northern classics training all throughout my career. In my other career I had very poor resistance compared to other riders of my level depsite being only on training types with 2 or 3 arrows in resistance all throughout my career. Kind of annoying. I pretty much never train in my main specialization, because then I would certainly end up as a ridiculously one-dimensioned rider.
I think your specialization might have as big influence on skills you are getting improved as the training you chose. |

You can view the different levels in sta_uci_class, procyclist pass. Level 1 in the db corresponds to level 2 and so on though, so pay attention to that
