I know, the most I've ever gotten was 3 so I nearly pissed myself with excitement.
Embarrasing to say it, but this will be the first proper career I do with this edition even though I've had it for a long while. Gonna be fun (or ball-shatteringly annoying) to plan the season.

I really dislike PCM 13 planning. PCM 12 planning was better. I still do it the PCM 12 way(adjusting bars), but not being able to f.e. copy-paste schedules really sucks.
On an other note:
The 2 main goals in my PCMdaily career are Top 5-ing the PCMdaily CHampionships 
@Luigi
No.

Anyway, since I'm a bit ''in between'' careers again(had a Italian career running), I decided to do a nice project.
how many careers do you (guys) actually have. I only have two, on two different games
Spoiler PCM06 - Ceramica Flaminia, Febuary 2006
PCM10 - Rabobank, January 2011

If I ever want to mix it up I just play some single races now and then. ie Finished a TDF recently with a 2013db with 'lesser teams (3 stars or below)' and Sabido managed to win the yellow jersey on stage 1 and carry it through to the end picking up a hatful of wins and the points jersey, I was not controlling Sabido.  |

No.

I get that for small champs ive added, (Indonesian ).
The way I see it, its a free bidget hike.
Also, I have one proper career, then maybe one more Ill pop onto. For some reason I start tonnes, then don't delete them, for sentimental value even though they didn't get past January  |

I think you should just set everyone to relay at the same effort and let the game decide
You could also simulate it. But in that case instead of showing a worthy winner the result would probably be more random than having everyone relay in 3D

A Comic DB career, with PCMdaily members. Yes, I've done that once already. But it was fun last time. Modified the whole .2 calendar, only really cool races left now 
Also added a few new PCMdaily story riders and modified some stats.
And Comic DB is fun, I'd recommend it 
Anyway:

Aidan van Niekerk I like the fact that I'm given 55 in Sprint and 55 in Cobbles more than the fact that I'm 69 in Mountains

Okay, two minor things which annoy me just a tad bit... first of all; 11TH PLACE IS NOT(!!!!!!) THE SAME AS "TOP 25"! IN THAT CASE, 1ST IS THE SAME AS TOP 1 TRILLION!
Second, why in the HOLY HIGH HELL DOES THE CAMERA MOVE TO THE USELESS CLOSE-UP VIEW EVERY TIME I CLICK ON A RIDERS PANEL!?

Haven't played PCM in a while, and was testing something, and noticed something that made me really want to play a career with Trek and see how dominant Jungels could become in the future Stuyven was also a beast with 5 stars in sprint and 4 stars in cobbles making him possibly the next Boonen.

These are the potential stats they'll have in my story/career: https://pcmdaily.c...ost_891453 I was shocked.

Funnily enough, I checked Jungels limits and he has 85 in hill and 84 in endurance as well 
Stuyen is 83 sprint and 84 acceleration with 78 in cobbles. Damn, no time to play, but this would be a godly career.

Three of my five possible "future greats" from my ongoing career. Italiano is my best bet for the future, but I'm excited to see how good his sprint is going to be.
Bianchetti will become pretty darn good in the climbs, but his sprint could be slightly higher. Might be decent at cobbles, though. Not great, but decent.
Calvi will be a good sprinter, but could have a higher stamina, I reckon. His flat is also kinda low. Perhaps he could make up for it with good hill-stats. Good, for a sprinter, that is.
Davide Italiano

Dino Bianchetti

Just won the Giro with Quintana, also taking the points, KOM and best young rider jersey's, going into the history books along with Merckx, Valverde will lead the tour then will take both Quintana and Valverde to the Vuelta. Worried about Quintana though, he wants to mull over a new contract. Kwaitkowski, Sagan are both on my shortlist for next year. If I lose Quintana, I may try and sign Froome and TJ Van Garderen.

Just started a new carreer with a custom CT-team. The main sponser is Armavia from Armenia. The team is Armenian based, with some Russians, Bulgarians, Molodovians, and a Austrian rider. My main goal is to be in 2020 a WT-team with at least 10 Armenian riders. Our goal for this season is at least 5 wins.
The Squad:
| Name | Kind of rider | Age | Avg. | | C.Armalian | Sprinter | 30 | 64 | | G.Anumian | Time Trial | 24 | 69 | | M.Eibegger | Climber | 29 | 73 | | E.Gerganov | Hills | 25 | 72 | | G.Ghevondian | Hills | 23 | 63 | | V.Isaychev | Fighter | 27 | 70 | | V.Kolozian | Sprinter | 31 | 65 | | T.Korkotyan | Fighter | 31 | 62 | | D.Kozontchuk | Hills | 29 | 73 | | V.Makarova | Time Trial | 22 | 70 | | N.Mihaylob | Time Trial | 25 | 74 | D.Petrov | Hills | 26 | 74 | | M.Rotaru | Sprinter | 19 | 72 | | B.Shpilevski | Sprinter | 22 | 71 | | K.Svasian | Fighter | 27 | 62 | | S.Tvetcov | Time Trial | 25 | 74 | | B.Uzliyan | Time Trial | 22 | 61 | | K.Yaskorsky | Fighter | 25 | 66 | |
We have got already some nice results: In the Tour de Okinawa (1.2) 4 of our riders survived the last climb, and we get 3 nice top 10 results: Tvetcov 5th, Mihaylov 7th, Isaychev 8th! Kozontchuck was to tired to sprint and finished 19th. Then in the Vuelta a Mallorca we had a 4th place for Mihaylov in the first stage! He was the last one of the breakaway who survived, but the peloton get him by the 0,2km to go. At the hills it went well: Kozontchuck finished 16th in the GC and Petrov 19th. Now I just finished the first stage of the Tour of Langkawi: A 3th place for Rotaru behind the winner Markus and the runner-up Thompson!
Ps. I play at Hard lvl.
Always see the bright Side of life!
