Maybe Cyanide screwed up. Every store thinks it's the 18th 
Livestream isn't useless, though. I'm gonna start my career now, there's much I haven't tested (hilly stages etc) |

Those gaps on Alpe d'huez are actually awesome. Lots of time splits without anything too extreme.
Ian, could you do a decent length hill finish? The AI always struggled with gaps on those in 12.

Seems only BMC isn't licensed in the UCI World Tour, and some Continental (Pro) Teams like ASA and Androni

Btw, Ian, enjoying the acceleration working?
It was such an awesome thing to try out and see working.
Btw, when you press CTRL + R, does it record the footage? Quite a nifty feature right there, was in beta, so just asking if it's in full to be sure.

Some more WT teams are unlicensed, but having a real jersey 
And about 8 or 9 Continental teams if I recall correctly
And yeah, interested in the loading times as well...

I don't know how can explain this but I think that the Cobblestone are softer.. I played The Ronde with Fabian Cancellara on Hard level and I do the last 30km on 80 of effort and Spartacus didn't tire..
I played without the RealName DB :S

There's a new cobbles rating system, which makes some cobbled sections heavier than others. A star system, just like they have in real-life.
Haven't got PCM 2013, so don't know if it works probably, but it sounds like it does.

First of all
Mote Baltman is the best fake name so far imo
Lets hope the cobbled system will work. Wont buy the game today, but after coming tuesday, when I will have my last test, I might buy it

My last test where I have to learn for is tomorrow, after that a German reading test left.
So this evening is the perfect time to order PCM 13 
And since all those first impressions seem quite promising, I'll do that

Probably something to do with his flat and stamina. I also expect he has a decent resistance, which would help keep his yellow bar high. Plus the Ronde just isn't that hard towards the end so there isn't anything there to make him too tired.

I have bought the game via Steam and was wondering if it unlocks today or if I have to wait for tomorrow. This is because it is not working at all and all the troubleshooting methods are failing. Cheers

Alpe d'Huez was really cool. I'm planning a season right now, maybe I'll test it later (you can always ask TMM, he'll be live streaming PCM 2013 at midnight )
But Alakagom will know this, too, he was beta tester! |

I can't even start to explain how wonderful it is
I haven't tried recording yet, where will the image go?
Though screenshots suit me just fine
Also, MANAGER part is extremely nice. Your riders objectives are done real nice. Bad riders don't want fancy races, but small races which suit their abilities. Stars don't want to go to crappy races. I'm actually enjoying planning my season

 you just select races that are going to be his targets and than how important they are, like main target or secundery target. Than the form and how tired they will be updates automatically after that. And the game there is in Norwegian but hope you understand the main things!
So its easier than before, and I like it atleast...
And sorry for not that good English... |

So, mountains good, sprints good, cobbles, maybe stats are screwing it up? But too big groups, let's hope it's something with stats. Hills, can someone test it? |

Wow the Live Stream is becoming less and less interesting  
I also bet that the download takes fucking forever as well...

A thing I noticed with those planners and I'd like to have checked:
It seems if you select a GT as a personal season goal, the fitness curve peaks roundabout at stage one.
Especially with the Vuelta, the fitness seems to drop significantly even before the race is over.
Is that just me or does someone else spot a possible problem there, namely Cyanide not ensuring that GTs will be handled differently (peak in second week) to all other races?
And for anyone already playing: could you try to verify these impressions?
