Season two of a career (first year conti, now pro conti), also played lots of single races. Played about 22 hours. Not a single break win so far (player or AI). Breaks often get caught in the first half of the stage. Not a single time a break survived longer than until 30km to go. |

What difficulty were you guys playing? I have a feeling it may have to do with that, in the past I've tried editing and somewhere around 1,10 dificulty it seemed as if breakaways were almost impossible, however for example for now I've played in Extreme so far and have had realistic breakaway wins.

As far as I can see it's a waste of money. I personally love Continental racing and managing and again the Continental teams travel all over the world. Realistic? No way. Is it really so hard to get the calendar from continental teams or even to look at last years races.I really wished they would have put travel costs into the new career, but i guess updating the GUI was more important.
It may be a sign of the times that games do not want you to do an effort to reach a certain goal. Make the game harder to play, injured cyclists loose fitness and teams have a travel budget. Some say the AI is more aggressive, but that makes them even more unreal. And talking about AI, they are still not able to manage their fitness or their teams. |

Playing on extreme with the PCM Daily Database at the Tour Down Under. Breakaway won the stage by 7 minutes to the peloton with a max time difference of about 15 mins. The breaks may not be as easy to get into and win but they do win every now and again in career. This is team career not the be a pro one.

Extreme and nothing changed. Now at 35h hours and only 1 breakaway win so far (AI) |

Had some fun with this game, my first PCM in about 5 or more years. Just wondering as Im past the 1st of August, should I be offering contracts out as soon as I can or should I wait until other teams start signing riders?

Patch 1.5.0.0 is out. The patch notes mention two problems with breakaways:
- The peloton occasionally refuses to chase, the break wins by 10-20 minutes and wins the GC too
- Breaks never win except when the previous bug happens
Supposedly this patch fixes both |

Has anyone subsequently noticed an improvement after the patch?
I am actually considering buying the game for the first time since 2008!

It swung the other way too much IMO. Before the AI never allowed a break of even 5.
But now, a break of 10+ in a field of only 100, with a short, completely flat race, no problem. |
