no,he played with contador and 2nd was andy schleck(CPU)
that i understand
off course too easy if you played with the best in game
i played first time with tejay van garderen and won tdf
completed 11 from 12 achievements for bmc.i didn't win team time trial where i played first time,so wasn't my best ttt
i played versus with my cousin.i advice him to take the strongest riders for that type of stage and he beated me twice
he beat my gilbert with sagan in a easy hill stage on sprint
on montain he beat my tejay with contador with few seconds
really fun

The versus mode is cool. But co-op is even cooler |

Yes, easy with someone like Contador. I played a tour with Teejay Van Garderen. I did all the hilly and montain stages as well as the time trials.
I lost time in the time trials and had 15 seconds to make up on Contador on the penultimate stage which I just managed.
The game is a decent challenge with aslightly weaker rider in the mountains. You really need to decide when to follow attacks to keep enough in reserve for the final push. |

Even so... is Contador 5 minutes better to Froome? Wiggins? Nibali? etc
Of course the game is harder with other "weaker" cyclists... but what I meant was that it was to easy to win.
My opinion is, that the game is great to be played by 2 players, but if you seek a solo game, that may turn too easy.
But the game is amazinggggg |

I love this game so far, its perfect.
My only criticism is Froome seems fairly underrated, his endurance is poor compared to the likes of Contador.
One other point is about the choice of foods, does auto-select pick the best ones for the stage?

There are a few stats that don't seem realistic, but that always happens, right? |

Oh yeah it always happens but I found today that I got half way up Ax 3 Domaines and them couldn't keep up with Contador and lost over a minute.
I will try again tomorrow now I have some more practice and see if it wass just me being bad |

I did the double climb of Alp d'Huez with Gesink, with the objective of trying to win a mountain stage as well as pushing him up the rankings. I started over 10 mins back of the yellow jersey. I managed to get into a breakaway and then on the 1st climb went away on my own. My advantage just grew and grew and I ended up winning the stage by over 13 minutes and taking yellow!!!!!! |

I can't yet share my own "first impression" (as its not yet available in US for xbox), but its been getting awful reviews everywhere I look (on the internet). Not because of questionable AI, but simply because of poor (boring) gameplay and poor visual/scenery effects. |

Let me put it this way: if you're not into cycling, it's boring as hell.
If not, it's pretty good! |

I'm glad to hear that. And that makes sense. I'm would likely find the best skateboard game very dull, as I'm not into skateboarding. |

Anyone else find the game too easy? Playing with Garmin, I won stage 1 with Dan Martin from the break, by 1 min 45 seconds. On stage 2 I put Ryder in the break was able to hold off the peloton by 7 mins.
Then on stage 14 with Ryder I attacked a bit before the intermediate sprint to try gain a few points on Cavendish, during the chase the 80% of the peloton were dropped including every GC rider, by the time I was caught we had a 2min advantage over the gc group. Between Robbie Hunter, Tyler Farrar and Ryder Hesjedal I was able to gain 7 mins by the finish.
I'm 11 mins ahead of Blel Kadri (who happened to be in both breaks), 15 mins ahead of contador and 16 mins ahead of Froom. |

Yes. I wrote it early in this forum... the AI game is very poor... I think the game is better to play head to head or in coop mode. |
