Haha, Costa 
@Miguel98 Don't do a fcancellara!
@Cmknudsen Yes, my team promoted. 36th in the CQ ranking, so pretty steady.
Will post my team soon I think.

Weirdest Tour ever in my career with OPQS.
Injuries, so couldn't start: Schleck, Contador, Quintana, Evans, Froome and believe me, many more
So no real contenders there, which made for the weirdest classification in Paris:
1. Costa
2. Porte
3. Van Garderen
my best rider (this is weird): 6. Tony Martin
That sounds amazing!

a question for some of the beta tester. Dont think its threadworthy on its own, so ill ask it here. I had a long term save in pcm12, in the long term there was a tendency for ridres to become worse.
Do you know if that has been tested thoroughly for 13?
I havent got a clue about mass editing attributes, so in the long run, there wasnt much competetion. Hopefully this is bettered in this version. I really enjoy long term saves |

So Im thinking of starting a little career while I wait for the bigger db's. Im planning on using Belkin, as I've grown to really love the jerseys, and I've always been a fan of Rabobank.
Anyway, I've been under the impression that career mode still has a lot of bugs, and when I did a quick one, just simming everything with Garmin, all my riders became upset about their schedule. Add to that, a couple of my riders returned from suspension, but I couldn't find a place to change the schedules for the new riders coming back, and I couldn't change the ambitions either.
Another thing, is will I have to fix things in the editor at all, at this stage? If so I'd rather just play older PCM's while I wait.

Belkin is always good 
Career is easily playable for me. Only noticed satisfaction bug, and it's not huge at my pc either, and I don't feel like it has a big impact on my riders at all.
Also, ambitions can be changed in the first week of January

It looks like a real bug, but it just takes some getting used to |

Just played Paris Nice with Taansky as my leader for Garmin. Attacked on the mtf and got a gap with TVG and Kwiatek. Attacked again and won it. They eventually overtook me on hilly stages, but I got 3rd overall.
I have to say thoguh, they lied when they said they updated quick sim. It's the same as PCM 11. And I'm really missing detailed sim, because I used it a lot, however buggy it was.

Well, finally found a career I think I'll stick with for several seasons 
Thanks to anderspcm' pack of Citigroup, I made an entire team from scratch. Argos was put back to ProConti and Team Citigroup is the 19th WT team. Here's the squad:
What do you think?
Major goals for season 1: KoM Giro, top 10 in 3/5 monuments, stage win Tour.
Major goals long term: be among the top 3 of strongest teams. Vergnaud (French climbing sensation) should be the first French to win the Tour after a long time.
We already kicked off quite well, with Meyer opening the path for Matthews to win the Australian NC. In that jersey, Matthews won the opening stage of the Tour Down Under!

He's a French climber who I scouted in PCM 11 when I had a Team Europcar career. I remade him to be one of the finest climbers in history He's targeting some exceptional feats like the Ardennes Triple, record of KoM shirt in the Tour, maybe. Potentially even Tour wins, depending on his development and the competition. |

Your team seems cool Ian
Oh, and the American sponsor must be very happy with all those American riders!

I gave Bakelants those stats it's my career so it's my call
@ Jesleyh: it's an international squad I changed the "Mopei" jersey by the Citigroup one, so my sponsor is actually Italian in the game but I'm going for an unbiased team. We don't look at nationality or past, we just look at abilities! |

Ah, that makes sense
And if you adjust Bakelants anyway, why not give him more FL & FTR?
