And btw, the AI not chasing bug has not been fixed. In several races they won't chase unless you do too, even when you have no favorites in the squad.
Not in every race, though. I raced two 1.1 races where I was only an outsider, not in breakaway, and Sky always chased down the breakaway. Maybe it's only in stage-mode? In career it seems all right so far, though. |

Career mode here
Maybe because it's a peloton of "only" 100 riders, smaller race?

That could be it, I had no rider for the AUS Nat Championship so I haven't raced a small peloton race yet. |

Well, I was watching today a Failured video, where he was playing a Champs Elysses stage and suddenly, a group of 70+ riders, including stage favourite Kittel and others are left behind and they just sit up. |

Yet more bugs that were in previous versions. List of my team's riders in the race going into the stage is empty.

I really like the new Objectives negotiation stuff... but can anyone tell me why Saxo Bank wants me to have more known riders from Belgium and Argentina? Is there any real life relation between Saxo Bank and those countries?  I can only think of the Haedo brothers
or maybe its just Cyanide  |

If you're in doubt, it's always Cyanide.

It's been said before, usually just going back and trying again solves the problem.  |

64? You can't even use an eighth of that currently?
Well, I certainly can and regularly do. 
What makes you think you can't? The limit for W7 (which I'm using here) is 192MB, unless you're on a 32-bit OS which is akin to using an abacus.
It was eleven more than necessary.

Looking at Failureds video. The hill coming out of the Tunnel in Paris is way too tough. Slows down the peloton to under 20 km/h

That too. He quickly got way with Kroon while the breakaway got caught too quickly when they reached it. |

Do riders in breakaway fight for the sprint and kom points? |

They do that since ever, then they stopped in PCM 10, and got back in PCM 11. |

I guess the fights for KoM will be very interesting with the new ACC stats and (little bit) Mountain AI. Haven't got to that point though. So are the KoM fights really interesting now?

Does anyone know how the condition in single stage mode is calculated? Up untill PCM13 it was defined by bonus fitness table in DB. Now I tested it and bonus fitness does not factor the condition in single race mode so my question is how to force that e.g Contador is always at 1-2 in July and 4(or worse) in months he usually does not perform well.
PS. I obviously set random fitness in options.

The automated fitness planner is rubbish!
Just spent fucking ages trying to get Coquard peaking properly for Le Tour... just would not happen! He just be good for a day or two then collapse off form...
Also all the riders say "Include my neighborhood tour"... which for many of them doesn't exist... So they are almost all unhappy regardless of what races i pick
There is not enough control either. I have several people who can only ever carry water and occasionaly breakaway. I don't want them to peak for a few weeks, i want them to be, on the old system, 80-88 fitness all season long. No matter what targets i pick it cannot be done, as they will just get too tired or peak to high too often.
Whilst it's more realistic and engaging about riders having preferred races their choices are not even on the fucking schedule! I am not going to join AToC because Bernadeu would like it, but if i want him to be happy i have to include an American race... fuck that shit!
I don't know how these things will play out in the long run, but i fully expect all 12 of my expiring contracts to leave because they know nothing about their own ability or lives.
All that said it is a small step in the right direction in terms of immersion and the manager mode. But it's also a giant leap backwards in practicality and control. Safe to say we all used custom schedules because we liked to customize the schedules, and now we can't and the AI is making a mess of it...
