Are there anyone with a career with Dailys Expansion Pack who will upload it? It would be nice if the career starts in 2015 or more. |

End of December 2014 by request
End of December 2016
Both part of the same career, my Sky one from the previous pages. But because it's December you can get away with changing teams using an editor

Guys..i had Stybar in my team..And i prepared his schedule for Ronde and Paris Roubaix..But the problem is his freshness was poor in earlier E3 and Gent..I know this year freshness features making games more interesting but this is too much..Do i need to add E3 in his objective? How can i make his freshness not so poor in earlier Flanders classic? |

I have found the only way to guarantee excellent freshness is to add the race to the riders objectives.
So I would add E3 and Gent as minor objectives with Ronde and P-R as major objectives, and a couple of minor objectives later in the season. Ignore the riders whinging about them .
Even then it only seems to work for day 1, which for a 1 day classic is ok but during a long stage race things get tricky as freshness varies day to day.
I recommend Lachi's season planner as it will automatically add a race to a riders objectives if you have scheduled him to ride it (up to a max of 6 races). |

@DaveTwoBob But he's also has Giro or Tour in his objective..And it will make him so tired after that..
And how to use that planner?

Yep thats a problem, you can only have 6 rider objectives and if they are all in the first half of the season your rider will be pretty uesless for the second half.
The only other option that I have read but not tried myself is reloading from a save until you get random good freshness for your leader.
PCM14 freshness feature makes some races not worth playing which is not much fun for a game.
Here is the link to Lachi's Season Planner thread.
https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....rowstart=0
The way I use it is
1. Create Groups and assign riders to groups in game
2. Choose 6 key races for my Leaders and 6 other races for my 2nd leaders (to maximise the freshness quota)
3. Load my Career Save into the Season Planner
4. Assign the key races to the groups
5. Export to Career Save (new name)
6. Load the new Career Save in game
7. Reset/Adjust the fitness plan for each rider

Hi guys, here's a complete noob to the pcm universe. Really, really enjoying this. Started a career with Sky on normal dif and I'm getting used to the game. The more I play the more it becomes more enjoyable. Still make mistakes all the time. By now most relevant results: won MSR with Kyrienka (yes, it's on normal, hehe), the E3 with B. Hagen and got two 2nd (Catalunya with Nieve and Romandie with Porte). I'm about to start the Giro with Porte as my GC. Any recommendations on the approach of a Big Tour ? Thanks in advance |

Not sure what DB you're playing with andd how it'll pan out on normal, but in general, Porte will be really, really shit in the third week. His REC is way to low. I'd either try and take massive time early on, do my beest to keep him fresh for week three (not sure how well that'd work) or go stage / KoM hunting with him and go for a Top 10 GC with your second best climber.

Dippofix, thanks for your input. I'm using the Basic Real Name DB downloaded here in pcmdaily. Will take your advice in consideration. It's not ok knowing that Porte could never get a GC role in a three week tour. Will try it anyway |

Set your leader peak at the last 2 weeks..AI tends to attack all out in 1st and 2nd weeks..Just maintain time in 1st weeks..And pick certain stage to attack..Best to attack if 1 or 2 mountain stages before rest day.. |

To get the advantage of automatic rider objectives you need to do your season planning before the 6th of January. |

hopefully I've now started a career that will last beyond end of March (PR set by Rabobank-PCM06, Freire won T-A )
I basically transferd one of my story games teams (that promoted this year, I'm pretty sure) into my game. with a bit of luck does the same in the game as well
hopefully the problem I had in that story game (Majka, Sánchez, and Kiserlovski score a lot of points but nobody else really scores big ) doesn't occur so much |

I reccomend it as well, but I also miss the skip-to-date
Why the fuck every year they remove some features?
