Being able to pick the numbers of your riders
I want to select the start order in stage, because I find it quite annoying when my GC rider starts first in the prolouge and looses many seconds.. |

At times the AI doesn't grasp the race as it should. For example when I played the KBK today all then race favourites were the typical cobbled classics riders and not the sprinters as it should be. So when the race started and Omega Pharma were doing most of the work they had none other than Cavendish on the front chasing the break, so unrealistic. |

1:5 mode would be absolutely great. Aaand, i would really,really love something like Become a Legend or My Career when you actually play with only 1 rider. I always imagined that , but ye, imagination...
Great idea. Something like in the PS3 version but then with only 1 rider. 3rd person over shoulder view... and so forth...  |

I would think about the old PCM and say why not bring back the little newspaper saying who's the rider of the month and who's the revelation of the month and some interviews. |

Did you ever read that?
I mean, it is a computer writing news and inventing interviews. |

Those didn't make sense. Someone once predicted Petacchi to win LeTour in one of my saves

This is very true. A race with a few hills in the middle and a flat finish is still considered a flat stage, but as soon as there's 1m of cobbles, it's considered a cobbled stage. Result: Cavendish working for Boonen, huge time gaps when simulated etc..
Also, please bring back secondary sponsors. Maybe even make it so that teams can merge under certain circumstances, I don't know.
And last but no least, make the mountain AI smarter. Now it's basically favourites attacking at the start of the climb while everyone else stops riding. I'd like to see stuff like lieutenants helping their leader, duo attacks etc..
tl;dr version:
1. Cobbles should be the same as hills.
2. PCM 2014: Return of the Secondary Sponsor.
3. Smarter mountain AI.
Spoiler I didn't read through the entire thread, so if some of this has already been suggested...
EDIT: Here's an idea I had earlier but I forgot about.
Something like a pre-race tactics planner.
On the screen where you choose your leader and free elements, you should also be able to see the map and profile. (These should be linked so when I move my cursor over the profile, I can see the corresponding place on the map.)
Basically what you do is, you set points on the map where something should happen. This way, you can highlight crucial parts like steep climbs, certain cobbled sections, narrow roads, sharp turns etc. and make the game pause and jump to your leader or make notifications appear etc..
You can also plan out other stuff like which riders should start at the front in order to join the early breakaway or chase dangerous riders, or if a rider with COB of 75 or higher attacks, pause the game and jump to him etc..
I also think you should be able to choose more roles next to leader, sprinter, free element and team-mate. For example, protected riders and luxury team-mates like with contract negotiations, another possibility is choosing more leaders and make a hierarchy.
And to finish off, more in-game tactics. E.g., make the follow button work outside of sprints as well and make "stick close to..." and "pass water bottle" buttons.

I would like to see the 'TV' camera back as I recall the game had many many many versions ago.
It switched to the action immediately and it used all the different camera angles available. |

-I think it would be nice if you could create some sort of a Sky Train. So you have your leader at the back of the train and your helpers in front of him. This is especially handy in mountain stages so you can burn the energy of all those riders and then finally attack with your GC riders. Like a sprinting train, but earlier in the stage.
-Also a bigger sponsor budget, which includes wages of staff.
- More realistic sponsor objectives. If I'm a PCT Team in career I always have to reach Top 3/5 in Omloop het Nieuwsblad. Even if my highest COB stat is like 73. And if I'm a CT Team and my best climber has a 73 MO stat I have to reach Top 5 in fx Tour of California against riders like Dan Martin en Rui Costa.
- Also I would like more realistic starting lists, because now Team Sky starts at Vuelta a Mallorca with Froome, Porte and Wiggins and Movistar with Quintana and Valverde. That's just not fun anymore.
- I would also like some more randomness, because if I'm playing a stage the rider with the best stats ALWAYS wins. Like Kittel won 7 stages in the Giro. Just like Froome, he won the Giro, points class, mountain, class and 8 stages (all MO stages). That's just annoying.

I would like to be able to race different riders, i have done 2 3 yr carears and Nibali always does Giro TDF, and sucks at the TDF, its so repetitve doing the Grio guys always Uran and Nibali who race their why cant they change, how come in PCM 11 now and then you would get Contador or Schleck doing the Giro, its boring seeing the best guys only mainly do the TDF, the only GT that is fun for me is the Vuelta as sometimes you will see Froome race.
Does anyone else think this is a problem, or can anyone tell me further down the carear they have seen Nibai for example do the TDF/Vuelta instead or Giro Vuelta?
Also how hard would it be to make the Olympics, isti difficult guys to do? I would imagine it is but it would be better imo. |

What I would like to see aswel is that you have to hire mechanics and soigneurs aswel, or cooks. People who make the team what it is, not only trainers, medics and scouts. Besides that realistic startlists and more continental teams + RACES would be great |

Mechanics would be great indeed.
And more conti teams & races aren't necassary. I prefer that they use their time for other things. There are DBs for it.

@Yves yes it sucks dude have u ever seen riders do diff races before?, i would love 1 year to have riders like Contador do Giro Vuelta and be realy tough to beat else the only GT thta is quite hard is the TDF. It looks stupid seeing guys like Contador do the TDF without doing a 2nd GT especially if the do poor. Contador had 3 rd places in the TDF lol in 3 years yet did not do 1 other GT that is just silly surely? It just wastes the legends who can win other GT's by getting beat by CF and NQ it is so repetitive. Also have u seen BMC lol they take TJVG and Evans to the Grio and TJVG just sits in the peloton.
@Jeslyh u seem the kinda guy that would know how do u make sure riders do diff programs i no how to add riders to races but they dnt av the shape as its not a goal. Say i chnged for example Porte to Giro/Vuelta worlds if i done it this year it ould mke no effect but in 2015 would he have optimal shape for them races.
Also can u tell me if you have seen what i said like Froome may do the Giro/Vuelta 1 year. Or Nibali would do TDF/Vuelta? Its a waste Nibali always doing Grio/TDF the guy got to 83 mountain on my carear yet always came no higher than 9th lol in the TDF(wins the Giro year after year cuz only Purito and Uran who challenge).
As you have done quite a few long carears by looks of it.
What about FCD DB isit diff to Daily in the GT's who rides them.

What DB do u use, how come Frome does the Giro? Wish he would on my carears |

Well, the leaders have programs assigned to them afaik. To prevent that Nibali goes for a Vuelta only or that Froome peaks for the Ardennes.

In my OPQS 2013 career, Froome went to Giro, where after giving Uran free-role in the first week, he grabbed pink in the 2nd week, so some alterations of riders' plans seem possible. Didn't play that season till end as I switched to 2014 DB later.
