Do you play on extreme?
Jord Vorenholt
I used to, but after rather disappointing results I'm tempted to change it.

I'm currently playing my Pro cyclist career on extreme. It's not that difficult if you know how to plan the season and use team tactics you still will win a lot even at the beginning.

Always play on extreme. I find it realistic to not win all the races, hence why I like losing 66% of the ones i ride.

I personally feel Extreme should be called Hard, and there should be some more difficult version of extreme instead.

Does anyone know if there is a way to make the game harder than extreme difficulty? In that case, please tell me. Smile

Hm, yeah I guess. Played to the Giro as Dimension Data, so practically the worst World Tour team, and I lead the ranking by far. Went 1-2 in MSR with Cav-Renshaw, won most Cobbles classics, even RVV, with Hagen, top 5'ed all ardennes with Slagter, even podium in LBL. Cummings won Pais el Vasco, so we lead by a bit of a margin. It just seems so unrealistic. The problems mainly seems to be that the classics are too easy, as I struggle a bit more in the high mountains, however this is partly due to the weak Mountain team.

I prefer playing World Tour, so if it was possibly to up the difficulty value in the editor in would be nice. I just don't know how Smile

I play a custom continental Canadian team with low budget 10 rider. I play normal and I don’t pause. Forcing to make you choice on a split second.. give realistic results.

That was my solution too, dont pause and the game gets a lot more fun.

I’m curious, how do you manage the last 5km when you have 2 option , even more sometimes. Sprinter vs puncher on the northern classic in a +\- 30 rider bunch? Do you pick one and leave the other on automatic? How do you manage the keyboard? Do you go with the mouse?

The way I play is used in my story, so I am not allowed to use automated at any point in the race. (if it is an important WT race)

But I would not do that anyway, I would choose what rider I think could win, and from 15-10 km have him follow the next best of my riders.

If I want one to attack and the other to stay it is a huge risk of losing one of them, as my only option is to put the 2nd on hold position at like 90%+ before the attack, and just hope he survives until I can get back to him. But that is the good thing you won’t often get two in top 10 – just as in real cycling – unless you have an extremely overpowered team on that particular stage.

I primarily use mouse.
