A little hint on how it is different? Less attacking, saving more energy? Is it just harder all around?
You can play as you want, but if you put hard attack as a break rider or a long attack from big favourite, your bars will be depleted a bit on next stage. If next stage is easy, they will slowly replenish depending on his recovery onto next stage.
It's a balancing act. Recovery now you can feels play massive part. Riders can easily bonk as in real life if they had a tough previous day. You attack too much in first week, and you'll pay in last week of GT.
However, this was bit unbalanced in beta, as domestiques rarely survived at least for me, as their bars depleted quite hard even if they didn't work much due to weaker energy stats, will be interesting how it is right now.
Sounds cool, but I do hope it balanced out in the final version. Did they say they would revise it? |

I hope we don't have alot of guys finishing out of the time limit in the GT's. It won't be fun if for example Cavendish can't survive the first couple of stages in the Tour.
Ian, what about Armada? |

Really? I had alot of fun last year. This year they have a couple of improvements which really bugged me in the last edition. You couldn't save predefined teams (and now you can) and you would race your all bronze team against all gold teams. Now there's a rider limit per experience level which will stop that. I can't wait to try Armada.
You could just log on and see what riders you got |

So <clears throat> ... is the PCM Daily 2013 final patch out yet? If not, WHY? When? You're ruining my life and you exist to serve me, etc etc.
It was eleven more than necessary.

Well, use the PCMdaily banner saying 'Pre order now', found almost everywhere on the site(homepage if you really can't find one on the current page )
Using that way, you can support PCMdaily
Otherwise, just search on google, a lot of online sites offering already

Found the first problem with the game...The game shuts down everytime you try to play stage 7 in Paris - Nice on Career.
Yes I know Paris-Nice is a long way on just 2days, but play races when I have my best riders there |

Yes the patch is there, but I started my save before the patch. And I don't know if the patch work or not in a save that was started without
@ThVoets: it works when simulate, but it ''ruins'' my Paris - Nice fight for the win, now I have a big lead before the final stage

Also, I noticed that the 'hidden' charisma stat is updated. A lot of variety in the charisma stats, they wouldn't put that effort it in if it doesn't have effect, I suppose
So I wonder if it has any effect, and if so, what?
Guys like Voeckler & Pozzato score high on it, which makes sense I guess, but there's also Lequatre(?!)

What does the charisme stat do?
I'm really enjoying the game, it's awesome. Just going up a hillside with four guys, battling for KoM points is so exciting, with ACC working properly! |
