How should we know that you are good at TTT in PCM 10?
The next time you ask a question, please give more information.
But anyway, did you read the tips? Maybe you could still learn from them.

It's not your fault that you didn't know.  I just wrote it for clarification.
I'll read those tips and maybe draw my own conclusions and find a way to improve. But from what I read, TTT has always been an issue. |

Short TTTs are just impossible on PCM 12+13, it seems.
So I don't think you could do a lot. Put everyone on 99 effort seems the closest you can get...

An issue for you, or an issue in the game? For me there is nothing wrong with the TTT in game.

I remember many people write it's impossible to do well in a short TTT for years. In PCM10 it was too easy in long TTT and too hard in short TTT, at least it seemed to be a general consensus. I always did well in long TTT, eventually found a way to do decent short TTT as well.
I think it's certainly an issue in PCM2013. If I have the best skilled time-trial team by some margin, and they can ride on maximal effort throughout the whole stage without totally burning out their energy, yet I still finish around 10th-12th whatever I try (times for each rider in front), it doesn't seem to be right. |

Have they improved the water fetching system or will it still take ages with the risk of the water carrier being dropped from the peloton if the road goes uphill? |

It's still dangerous to fetch water. |

Tactic i am using is sending rider for water about kilometer before top of mountain,so he reaches bottom of the group quickly and then brings water on downhill.
Working great so far.

Doing the same. Only thing is that it's awful when the peloton decides to split in parts in the last kilometer

This.
I would never risk to lose a helper like this. |

i'm thinking about buying PCM13, but only if it's a good step better then PCM12 and not just a riders/stages update.
what would you guys say it's new in PCM13?
thanks. |

The mountain/hilly AI is by far better imo. Finally there is a real selection.
As always there are a few bugs, but hopefully those will be fixed soon.
I have mainly played Armada yet, but gameplay wise it`s really fun to play. |

I think there's a huge lot of info to find on it on this site. We have a forum search function you know
Also, I believe there's a summary in the first post(or it was an other PCM 2013 thread, like first impressions).
A lot of planning, sponsor contacts, AI etc. have changed.
And for better graphics & official names, you can just download a DB that fixes that!
Edit: Second post of this thread got a summary(from before the game-release though)

Is there a way to track the race days you put on someone with the season planner? Because if not, it is a very useless tool.

No, but I don't think (riding a lot of)race days have effect anymore...

You can race more races indeed. However, your rider's freshness will go down if you race too much on too short a time, I think.
But it is true that 60 race days equals less fitness is history! |

Really enjoying the sprints in this game. with ACC working properly, having the right lead-out man is really important! |
