I will probably be going for one of the lower italian Conti-teams and try to keep it mostly Italian, maybe something around 80-90%.
I was considering doing one with a completely norwegian team, but I know that even after 20 years I'd be lucky to have one guy with more than 75 in AVG.
Edit: Done and done, started a career as Venchi and picked 10 scouted riders, 5(!) of which have potential to be future greats. I think it's gonna be a fun career

@Cactus 5?! Wow. Bit too many maybe, team could get OP fairly soon(especially if you fail to promote). But idea sounds cool, been there, done that 
Anyway, since I'm a bit ''in between'' careers again(had a Italian career running), I decided to do a nice project.
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:
PCMdaily ProCycling
Will only sign PCMdailystan riders. With ~50 free agents, that'll be fine
And no, it's not Cyprus 
Feel free to complain about not having a rider in here, guys 
Didn't look at creators, but just at riders I like, or riders that just fit in the team.
First up are the PCMdailystan Championships. Given that I'm the only team with riders with the PCMdailystan nationality in the first season, I can choose the champions. (Plenty of free agents so this will change in the next seasons) You may help me choose, but I'll most likely go for Hoogenboom, given that the NC RR is flat and he's mine

I think you should just set everyone to relay at the same effort and let the game decide

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.

Only one for me.

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 |

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

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
Renato Calvi
