Nah, most stuff stays the same. It'd be easier to merely adapt than to create everything from scratch. Especially when you can't make templates/saved schedules.

For me there is always enough changes to warrant all new plans, usually because sponsors come up with different things and my riders have changed around enough.
Ok yes it would be nice to have the ability to save templates again or cay them forward but it really isn't a problem. Planning only takes 10-15 minutes if you do it in detail
Any chance there's a way to use different colours/make the colours more distinctive in the schedule planning part, where you advise riders to their races?

What a Giro! It was very fun to play, and I hope that le Tour will be just as good!
Just when i downloaded PCMdaily, started a career with NetApp. Signed Vaitkus, Ewan, Galimzyanov on first day and i'm totally enjoying it right now. DB is just pure awesomeness.
Ewan finished as 5th in Australian Championships, will update you later about it. Edited by admirschleck on 19-02-2014 18:31
Guys..i don't where to put this question but i hope it's okay to ask here..
I want to put Tirreno 2014 stages even though it's not complete yet..but when it's complete, does my career will show new added TA stages?
Last time, I have started a career with a custom american-based team named Citigroup-Cannondale. It operate at WT level with some strong riders! Now i have finished the first part of the season (January until Paris-Roubaix):

The squad started well in Argentina and Australia. Taylor Phinney won two stages and Vegard Stake Laengen became 4th in Tour Down Under. Bradley Wiggins, won the Time-Tiral and the GC in Tour de San Luis. Lars Petter Nordhaug won a hilly stage, in San Luis. In Febuary the team finished in some races in the top 10, and Boasson Hagen won 3 stages in Qatar. The biggest Result was a second place from Boasson Hagen, and 4th place from Eisel, in Omloop het Nieuwsblad.
Then March. In Paris-Nice we won with Lars Petter Nordhaug a stage, and Zoidl become 7th in the GC. But in Tirreno-Andantico we has send a strong selection! We won two stages with Boasson Hagen, the mountain stage and the Time-Tiral with Bradley Wiggins. And the GC with Bradley Wiggins! Then Milano-San Remo. The result was a solo win for Fabian Cancellara. At 20 sec. finished Peter Sagan. And Boasson Hagen become thirth with winning the peleton sprint. In Catalunya Zoidl and Vegard Staken Laengen, did well with a 6th and 9th place in the GC. But the importanst races are the flanders Classics. Boasson Hagen wins Dwars door Vlaanderen, and become 3th and second in E3 and Gent-Wevegelm. Then the Ronde van Vlaanderen! It was a excited race. Many favourites get a flat tire or fall. The result: Fabian Cancelarra won, Langeveld become second, Sagan finished thirth, and Boasson Hagen 4th. Eisel finished 7th. In Vuelta Pais Vasco, Tejay Van Garderen makes his debut. He became 3th in the GC and won the Time-Tiral.
And then the last race: Paris-Roubaix. Everything goes well until the 40km to go. Boasson Hagen gets a flat tire, and came at 2"30. He must ride solo back to the group, with help from Eisel. He came in the Velodrome back at the first group but, couldn't sprint. He finished 5th. Lars Boom won, Flecha second, Boonen thirth, and Cancellara 4th. Eisel finsihed 11th and Phinney 14th. Now the hilly classics!
Team Joker is it.
That's the team of Svendsen(Stage-racer, awesome potential) & Ringheim(70SP).
No chance for promotion. 2nd year is the goal.
Sponsor contract ends at 2014 as well, so I expect a budget increase, since the current one is 23000 per month, and I believe the minimum offer of other sponsors is at least 25000, but well, I guess it can get higher.
I'll try to keep the team Nordic, or at least a Nordic identity, might not keep them fully Nordic.
i usually simulates Time trials, i forgot it this time!! and i know there is a way to go back in time to an earlier save so i can start over again. apparently i have forgotten how to do it, anyone who can tell what to do? thanks in advance
Downloaded the 2014 update and started a career with Wanty, hope to get promoted this or next season, hope to get a nice talent to develop while keeping a Belgian core.
John St Ledger in Team Bunzl-Centrica and Team U25
The final ING update pre-tour.
Sorry for spamming this thread, but this is the most fun I've had in a career since I joined the forums.
In the Criterium de Dauphine, Walter Hugo Quintana continued his Giro form and won dominantly. Suisse was different though. With Foletti injured we relied on Cacho for our required podium, which was never going to work.
He disappointed in 16th spot. However, Mosquera made up for it, surprising us all with 5th, so our sponsors aren't too unhappy. It was a hilly and TT friendly route, so he held on in the mountains, and gained in the hills.
The National championships were a mixed bag.
Greenland won the British TT NC, but Branfoot missed out to Froome in the RR on a hilly route.
Quintana won the Colombian TT NC, while Cacho bagged the RR from the break.
Foletti is double Swiss NC, beating Spartacus twice to win.
Watkins narrowly missed out on the US TT NC.
Rauscher dominated the Austrian NC from the break.
Our next race is le Tour. Our best climber is Cacho again, so anything near the top 10 would be a miracle. Branfoot is there for the green jersey. Greenland will want to face off against Martin in the TT. Mosquera is there for stage wins, and knowing him, he should take plenty.
Wish me luck.
@Aleakez: Use a weekly save, in your documents, pcm, users, weekly saves. Put it in users, DB 'DB for your career folder'.
Copa America de Ciclismo
The sponsor goal was a top-10. Unfortunately DÃaz came just 14th in the mass sprint.
Vuelta al Táchira
Sponsor goal was a stage win. Although we had 2 second places no stages were won by us.
Tour de San Luis
Our only race without a sponsor goal. It did bring us our greatest success so far though.
Yup, we won stage 1. Juarez Verón was the solo break for the entire stage, right until the line! The rest of the race was quite well, with an 18th in the GC for Pereyra as well.
Willier
So here are our 2017 stats. WT best watch out!
Finally looked at some limits for the "newgens". Havel very good [77CB], Buhl Anderson very good [77HL], St-Pierre ok [74SP], Mogensen ok [74MO]
New signings solid. Verona pretty much maxed, Vakoc pretty much maxed, Hansen room to grow, Thomas maxed, Ewan still growing.
Most of our focus is towards the Giro and Vuelta (Wiles, Villella, Ewan, CAS and Lasnik attending one of them) but we have given Thomas and Swift a run at the big one.
Equally we are looking heavily at the smaller tours like Pologne and Eneco with Karl and others. Ardennes looks good with Lasnik and solid Flanders with Thomas/Karl. It should be a great season!
@Selwik all of your riders are scouted or fantasy? or some of them are real cyclist in real life? I think I saw two or three real, but I'll like you to tell me more about them and also sponsors goals, good luck!!
