That's how the AI works. It does not care who wins, as long as you lose.

I hate the game lately.

In Pro Cyclist mode even my own team is against me because I don't get any helpers in races I could perform well.
The AI let's the early break take the stage when one of the AI riders is in the lead, so I cannot get any bonus seconds.
And in the previous season I had ~30 stage wins but when I race the same races this season the opponents are stronger.

I still lead the continental ranking and I'm close to Froome in the superprestige ranking but I hate it that I cannot win stages and races.

Is it not good that it is hard to win stages? That way when you do win it means more. Winning 30 stages in one season sounds like a lot. So far in my career I have 8 wins first season and 7 wins second season.

I have a problem with the inconsistency of the game, not the difficulty. If I want harder races I can set in the options.

My rider evolved so in theory it should be easier to win the same races compared to last year. But my own team doesn't give me the same support as before and the AI opponents are stronger.

Maybe it's just bad luck but give a kid a candy every day and it will get angry if he doesn't get candies later.

Is career-mode playable with the latest patch?
 
Lachi
I never thought that the career is unplayable but according to the release notes of the latest patch it did not change anything regarding the career.

Well, coming in to a objective with bad freshness pretty much destroys career imo. But thats fixed?
 
Lachi
I think it was addressed in the previous patch but I don't know if it has been fixed.

Freshness is still extremely steep in terms of penalty for increasing fitness. Racing a few days doesn't really impact it much, but training on a 4/5 level will cause you to hit 0 freshness almost instantly without any fitness gain.

Yes, difficulty may be a big factor, but, at least for me, realism is a bigger one.
Let's take notice of the elephant in the room ... this game is a simulator, realism should be its priority. As far as my experience goes, it fails in that regard.

Has the bug from PCM 15 in which teams signed more and more riders every season and had more than 30 riders been fixed?

Haven't paid attention to the last patches. Just wondering if the career mode has been "fixed" yet? By "fixed" I mean so that you can at least choose your own captains? Have they made any other changes to career mode?

I have two questions, why in a flat stage with a chance to be a massive sprint , Demare is put to protect its leader Bernal, i have it seen that twice already, and why after the a stage in any stage race the number of the stage it is shown wrong ? After the first stage in Giro at the results page is says stage 6. and so on for every stage . I use PCM Expansion pack 3.0.

I have been playing career, and so far i dont thinks its as bad as most other people on this forum. But now in the start(April) of the second season so weird start lists are accruing on WT races.

I startet a game with SKY, just to get a hang of the game while waiting for the expansion pack update Smile. a there havent been big problems yet. But now at ronde de vlaander, prais-roubaix, vuelta al pais and Amstel no reel big contenders to the races have shown up. i Have had 6 of the 8 first favorites of alle stages, witch i think is weird. Have anyone else expirienced this? and is there a fix?

I might mention that the game got stock ultimo march so i used the fasteditor to simulate to the first of april. Can i have made a mistake with the fasteditor witch make the above mentioned change to the game?

I doubt that Cyanide thinks that the"inability to chose your captains" is a bug. It is the newest feature of this game, most probably they will not drop it.

But you can use my season planner: https://pcmdaily.c...d_id=45019

I downloaded your planner but didn't understand too much of it... Is there a guide somewhere I haven't seen? Anyway, I prefer to do all the planning in-game as I'm incompetent when it comes to editors etc.

AI question for those of you who have played 2014, 2015 and 2016; which game has the best AI in career mode? Most realistic, fun to play with. I play mainly with all riders on automatic if that makes a difference.

Is it not possible to view statistics for altitude and inclination of climbs in game as it was for PCM 15?

I have been looking for altitude and and average and max gradient of climbs, but I have not been able to find out anything. It's a little bothersome having to check the editor for this information.

Have anybody else experienced that the "follow" command button just doesn't work! It is so frustrating! Like it doesn't "become active" at the end of a race?? it just stay greyed out.

Balancing: Better ergonomics on objectives and balancing of the end of season objectives.

This is from the patch notes.
Can someone explain to me what it means?
 
greco
any difference in ai behaviour as opposed to 15 version?

and any difference in gameplay/realism?
