Bunch sprint problem
gregoryVG
Hi Guys

I noticed it already in PCM 12, and was hoping it would be fixed in 13. I just bought pcm 13, cause I wanted to wait for the new season and make sure all the bugs and updates were fixed.

My problem is following: I noticed that, whenever you ride a stage race ( paris-nice, down under, qatar, or any other stage race ending up in a bunch sprint), very weird things happen. ( I play all my races on hard)

The other teams are chasing the breakaway in the last 10K. But as soon as the brakeaway is caught, the entire peloton, starts riding wide over the road to a speed of just 30 km/h and no single rider tries to set up a train, or tries to break away. It's the same as in the beginning of the stage when no team rides on front of the peloton. This is quite stupid, because I don't want to be the only team with a train, and sometimes I just take cavendish and want to place him in the wheel of Greipel, or Sagan, but no single team even tries to set up a train...

Really annoying, and I wanted to know if anyone else has this problem, or what might be the solution for this. I tried the forum search but could not see a problem like this.

Thanks

I've had this problem, too.
For some reason, during my career, it blew over.

Me best guess is that it's pretty random. The best way to deal with it, though, it set up a lead-out train yourself Wink

yeaah. still have no idea why Cyanide cant fix it, seems easy enough to fix.
after my own opinion is that i would win 8/10 races if i wanted too and would kill my mood for the rest of the career, i just want everything to be as realistic as possible, which for me is a problem when that pretty much happens every career!

Just a question, though: do you have all patches installed?

@Ian Butler: Yes I have all patches installed.

@LeaNzinga Indeed, I want it as realistic as possible as well so that's why I would like to solve this problem.

I think it's got something to do with the fact you've got the favourite, as they don't want to lead him out for you, I've found that sometimes it takes me making a train for them to make one, then I can switch my sprinter onto the back of theirs, that or put someone on the front on dot effort to pull the pack along whilst my sprinter follows one of his rivals.

But it doesn't happen that often for me as I go to make a train anyway unless my sprinter or leadout is put of position.

In my experience with a revived HTC team I've found it happens when I've got Cav as my sprinter but if it's a race I'm letting Renshaw be my leading Sprinter then it doesn't as he's not normally as strong a favourite for the sprint unless it's a really weak field.
