All the fixes are retro-compatible with careers already started, except the followin :
Plannings season 2 : World Tour invitation are ok, except if the invitation date has already passed.
Transfers : top riders as free agent may still happen if your season is after the Tour de France. If you're before, no problem.
U23 races : Check in the young riders calendar if the races are good or not. If not, a new season has to be started to have the good stages (or edit STA_stage).
Money and sponsor objectives : It needs a career start. If you're fine with your curent career, you don't need to restart !

Note that now you must use the Mod/Stages path to add the variants. CM_stages files are required to be the orginal ones for Armada.

Just loaded up a fairly few teams to see what their sponsor goals were like. The Continental team goals are vastly improved. Some of the better teams like CCC mostly had goals in .1 races and a couple of .HC races (and even in those they were usually top 10s or stage wins, just like in real life). I then loaded AC Praha and their goals were almost entirely .2 races and either top 10s or wearing certain jeresys. That is a huge improvement.

EDIT: Oh and when I loaded AC Praha, they had 3 regional staff members and 1 national, so clearly that balancing has worked quite well too.

Mountain stages AI still bad for me

Wow, you are the master Jedi, if you were able to judge that in 15 minutes or how long the patch is available

@diogo288:
So you played 2 stages in 15 minutes on 1x timing? How did you do that?

To judge the AI you have to use these settings:
- Use official DB which came with the patch
- Turn off daily form and variable fitness
- Set NORMAL difficulty
- Play in 1x speed (at least up the mountains)

Guys the game should have not been about how it goes when you do nothing, but about how the game adapts to what you are doing, so i think testing need to be done like Lachi suggested...but i hope they tweaked it a bit.
I will run some tests in the afternoon.

I was just an observer, and twice in Sybelles stage i've seen guys like Cavendish passing the 2 HC's with the peloton, only in the last climb some selection was made.
The only thing that i did different was the difficulty, i've chosen hard.
If i dont relay looks like the others simply like to enjoy the view.

Of course diogo288 is correct in this. It should not matter which team you have or how you play. The AI should make sure that game play in the mountains is reasonable throughout the whole stage and ends with a reasonable result at the finish line.
