I'm just wondering, but my players either lost contracts each and every day, or way after the fact, when I couldn't connect to races. It has been 2 days since I went on Armada, but I went on today and all my riders were 2 lower. Either I'm getting ripped off since I didn't connect to a race anyway, or losing 1 contract each day which is also BS.

You have to play and you have to pay to stay competitive. Usual stupid law of game with mictotransactions.

you still are a cheater,i firstly build my team and pretty decent team
i'm forced to buy because it's a huge gap between my team and team like you have
i must play like 10 ranking races per every day and be 1st or 2nd human to take at least 200 coins and just after few mounths i can have a team like yours
you or somebody else had wiggins,evans,contador,hesjedal,etc.
i'm forced to buy because i like to play online,i don't care about carrier mode.i cancelled my pre order to tdf 2012 on ps3 and i put half of that money in armada mode and half i'll keep for other game
Stop whining already. The packs are there to be bought by anyone who wants or who can afford it. I won't buy any, even if it takes me months to build an ok team... others will buy packs, it's their choice. You should look up the definition of cheating before insulting people. |

Definitely it's not cheating. however, the experience is totally different if you are willing to buy the packs or try to earn the coins by racing. I for myself decided to not buying any packs since it destroys the fun for me.
Edit: For example, I really enjoyed becoming second on the Vuelta Mountain stage with Masciarelli (76 Mountain with equipment) and 9th with Tschopp (75 in mountain). I don't see how it is fun to win with 9 gold riders only because you have the far better team.

It's Cyanide's fault because they promised a balanced Armada mode and people with bronze teams are facing uber gold teams. I hope they fix this by the time I get the game... |

Is there a way to see which ranking game follows? because i want to match the team for a specific race. If i knew a mountain stage is next i could make my team to have mountain riders. |

I don't think it's possible to see. So you always need to select a balanced team, which btw is one of the few realistic aspects... |

 hehe, the preparation would be quite difficult if the stages of a tour would be unveiled just before the start |

Those guys were right dicks there. If you don't play the game and you want to enjoy it - buy cards for money. Its' your own choice. Those other guys shouldn't care, it's not their business what he did.
They should complain to Cyanide for creating shit match making system so it matches players with gold Vs bronze riders
I have to agree again, some people work or have college/ school ad are unable to play this very often to build a good team. I work 9 hours a day and weekends sometimes. I have a spare £20 to put into this to enjoy the game. It's not a crime and no one should feel ashamed or slightly intimidated for buying cyans. We are a community around this game and should respect each others actions and ways of playing the game. We may not agree with it but it doesn't mean they are noobs or a cheater or anything along those lines.
The whole point is to move up the game gradually with work. If you just buy a gold team and crush what is the goal?

He isn't trying to crush people he is trying to be able to compete. Like Alakagom said due to shitty match making if he didn't buy a gold pack he would be playing with horrible bronze medal guys against people who have riders like Contador and Gesink, and that isn't very fun

Well, if you buy a gold pack and get Contadope or Gesink, you're not competing, your crushing.
What's the point of the game if instead of working your way up you just buy a trip to the top? There's nothing to strive for. What's the fun in that. Just winning (or close) every time takes away the reward. You'd be playing just to play.

I was going to ride my first mountain race with my leader Martinez ( 72 MO ). Load it and begin. Check other teams. There's 7 Human teams. One is very similar to me. 5 others have 2 riders above MO > 77. I was like :
And then I saw cunego59 on Origin on FIFA and made my priority  Hopefully my next race will be more 'even'

The packs are random, you don't know who you will get, not anyone's fault if they a pack with those riders in!

I had a very nice race against 3 others.
I had Mate (71mo), another one had Brusegin (75 or so), Ulissi (72?) and 3-4 70-71 bronce riders. The third player had Moncoutie (75) but played his first ever PCM game.
The 2nd team did team attack and I was there with Mate and Kozontchuk as helper, who crashed with half way to go...
Then it was 5 against Mate and Moncoutie 8min later attacked solo and far too late obviously.
Bruseghin used all his helpers until even Ulissi had to work. Mate lost contact sometimes but always fought his way back while Moncoutie came closer and closer.
In the end Mate lost all his bar with 3km to go but was already alone with Bruseghin and rode his own pace while Bruse was just staying behind him. Then he overtook me and won by 4min!
Ulissi in third another 2min just ahead of Moncoutie, who looked like 2nd or 3rd for a long time before losing his bar as well.
Brilliant ride up the Stelvio. Never had such a great experience since them as there have always been AI riders like Contador winning since then.
Meanwhile I have some silver riders like Moncoutie, Carrara or Geniez but still you can just win if you get away early and make a 20min gap on the AI, but unfortunately there have always been user teams doing the pace behind so we all lost against AI in the end. |
