Agreed. The sprint stages are so numerous as well. The last 25 km are always pretty fun though.Havetts said:Its a good game, I think Season / Campaign is odd to understand at the start. But its nice to play, though sometimes it isnt really wanted to manually race everything, especially sprint stages cause they take so much time without anything exciting even happening..
ye i once simulated paris, and menchov or gesink (I forget) broke his collarbone and retired in yellowDekker_Tifosi said:the problem with not racing sprint stages is that often in simulation i see a break holding on or my leader falling. So especially in important races I don't dare simulate sprint stages
this is another issue, the game seems to easy to dominate. Only difficult aspect can be keeping the team on budget, this is because the game is poorly written with budget aspects tho-very buggy?Astana1 said:The game really shines in campaign mode. If you are a real Type A you can be totally immersed with signing, training and scouting your own riders.
I simulate the TTs, if I have good TTers who are in good form in a given race then they always tend to get what they deserve.
Midway through my second campaign season the team was so dominant that I lost interest in the game altogether.
I figure that a game pays for itself in enjoyment if you can get 15 or so hours out of it in terms of entertainment. I have absolutely no idea how many hours I played/wasted in this game so I guess it did the jobTimmy-loves-Rabo said:this is another issue, the game seems to easy to dominate.

I like starting a custom team with youngsters tho.
I will never forget the day when Tony Martin took away my yellow jersey in breakaway on one of the last flatstages of TdF (of course the only flatstage I simulatedDekker_Tifosi said:the problem with not racing sprint stages is that often in simulation i see a break holding on or my leader falling.

You can win pretty much everything with anyone if you use enough training camps. I managed to win L-B-L, Giro, Vuelta and Worlds TT+ RR in the same season with EBH on extreme, who originally has 72 mountain and 76 hill...Havetts said:If LtD won you the giro thats sick.
I've been wondering about that aswell, it seems either they recuperate alot faster eventhough they have 10 rec. less or they just have a 'bigger / slower emptying' bar.sherer said:what I used to hate about it is how it is to attack and get in a break. I used to attack but the other riders who went with me just seemed to be able to attack for twice as long as me and never started to relay and work with me hence I got too tired and dropped back.
Yep its annoying that you have to get them in order all the time from weakest to strongest, also when sprint teams start chasing, eventhough you are going 85+, the gap drops about 2 minutes its not even normal :S.Also agree Parrulo about how the team works. Do I really have to work out which on is the strongest and then put him on 82 dot then the next strongest on 80 all down the line. Why not just issue a team order, chase down the break, etc
Not sure what you mean about attacking.sherer said:what I used to hate about it is how it is to attack and get in a break.
