Hey guys.
Just wondering.
When you guys start a career, and play it season over season etc.
And can be so quick during stages.
Is it because your playing the game alot ofc.
And what kind of races do you sim then?
(Only the non-important ones (accourding to your planning)
or How are you doing it?
I have tried both Racing them all in 3D (Takes alot of time), and sim the non-important races, but cant really find out, what works best.
It might be personal opinion i guess

I'm usually playing with World Tour teams.
I usually sim the races where I don't really care about getting a result - which is usually any continental race. I do tend to play all World Tour races, except time trials, because I suck at them  |

I don't play that many stages. The ones I do play are usually ones where I have a good chance of winning, or getting a good result. Or if it's a race I really need a result in I will play it.
One race I always play is the Milano Sanremo. In simulation it's always a bunch sprint, but when I play it in never is. I usually always play the Ardennes too.

I allways play the ones that are important to the sponsor, and the stages i feel i can win.
So i play alot of stages, but im playing with a custom team, so i need to get as mutch points as posible to reach the world tour.
But i sim the races that i dont feel are important or races i dont have a chanse of getting a good result |

I usually play with Pro Continental teams and race everything. Unsurprisingly, I have never finished a whole season before. I will with PCM12, however. I swear!

I usually play 90% of the stages, only not these where profile is the same like the others (some smaller races dont have real profiles). And because of that it takes me ages to finish a season, so i am caught between two extremes usually. Finish just one season with more detail, or more seasons with lesser races ridden.

I play every race and stage, but has never even made it to the Paris-Nice because of it. I buy the game every year, but never play more than a couple of times. |

I tend to play every single race. As I had a story with PCM10 and 11 I more or less had to. 
But the negative is that I just played one season with PCM11 and ~4 with PCM10. So I haven`t really had time to play with scouted riders or other features like sponsor changes etc.
Not sure yet if I start a story again with PCM12 but if so I will take a CT team and might have less races a season and so it should be faster to finish a season. |

I tend to play the important races and sim the less important ones. I always sim TTT's and TT's too because I hate them, or I will x8 them and let the AI sort it out for me.

Usually in careers I just play the most important stages, but if its a career I will play every stage.

I usually play anything besides a prolougue (cause I suck at them) and any flat stages where I don't have a sprinter or breakaway hope.

As a world tour team I do all of the UCI WorldTour races, as well as any continental sponsor races. Almost ALWAYS race the classics, I have some of the most fun on those. I'll sim some of the 2.HC or 2.1.

I play every race from March to October.
In the beginning i simulated a lot but results were weird.
So i decided to play every race but the january and february races are boring to me so now i simulate to P-N and i'm enjoying it |

That's another reason I sim, even flat stages of grand tours or other stage races if I am going for GC. I've seen breakaways get away with some pretty ridiculous times on what are almost surely sprint stages. I commend Cyanide for all their hard work but it would seem that the AI doesn't really think with a "cycling mindset" |
