I find it absolutely wild that ratings can only go up, and never down. This combined with the gradual individual rider skill inflation really hurts long-term saves.

I did India only build in PCM 22, had 2 riders in second year, and started developing from there. 5 seasons in I am still in continental and my top rider is 4.5 star, but I did find one 5 starred. So yeah, it is a long grind, still haping for Pro continental lol

I'm doing a Team Flanders - Baloise save for my first ever PCM Career mode. That was it's still easier since I'll get good Belgium prospects, but I like the idea of having a national team find success

I'm doing a Baltics run right now. It's also very hard, I can only imagine how painful the Balkans would be to play. At least the Baltics have a handful of 4- and 4.5 Star riders available that I've been able to hire.
This challenge leads to unique problems though - I'm swimming in cash, I have a literal million bucks banked while still in Continental, and there are no riders for me to spend it on!
Also, I've had a hell of a hard time finding climbers. Apparently the Baltics just don't have them, except for Neilands, and he's getting on in years...

This made me start a Baltic only save, seems very difficult but possible to get to at least high end Conti Pro

Hey, what ar the new features this year?

How can you set up the riders training program? Do you have to go into objectives? It says we should be able to set up training on the race planner but I can't figure out how.

Hi woud doing a norway run be okey? Or hard?
Do you have tips how to win sprint stages? And when you start a team how to decide sponsor goal, and witch rider to witch races

[nickvandermijnsbrugge]

Doing a Greece only run, having your top Rider placed 96th (first run) or 80th (second run) at the end of the season, doesn't trigger an upgrade for training facilities (or whatever it is called). Is this also a strange dice roll, a bug or something to do with the world DB selected?

[grbear]

It’s interesting to me that they don’t group Slovenia with the Balkans in this game because I think geographically, historically, and culturally that would make a bit more sense. That would give you stronger riders to work with. Probably a better challenge not to have Pogacar and others available though

WorldDB makes initial team building much much more possible for small nations. I find the inability to increase popularity in a nation above 7 really strange and kinda demotivating, seems like mediocre game design

[nikitakurkin]

Thats default database. In WDB database every nation popularity/training changed completely. Who playing default in this days?
