And that you can`t choose the stage you want to play... 
oh, yes, I forgot to mention that. I really hate it. You can't even stop from connecting to the race after you see which stage you are going to ride. my best cobble rider has a stat below 70, very funny...
I wasn't ever kicked out during a game, however. |

I have huge problems with aramda today.
Either i cant connect, or I get disconnected, or the race lags like hell.. riders going back instead of forward etc.
yesterday, i did 20 races without problems, today i have only finished 1 which took more than 1 hour because it lagged every 20 meters.
They have this great beer here in England, I really love it. Its called Pint.

You know what is noob? not buying the gold packs, but buy it and then when you play you do a team atack tactic thats noob.
O and they should started with giving everybody at least 1 goldpack instead of a bronze pack.
At least you have a chance to compete against guys who want to wast there money on rider stats.

I dont know if that was ment as critism to me, but I maybe think so since the only time i have done a teamattack was the last round i played, right before u posted this.
Just for ur information. team - attacks is something i hate. and I have never done it before. This round however, the game was more laggy then ever before.. the first 90km i couldnt do anything as the riders were going back and forward.. so i just wated in peloton to see if things got better.
As soon as I got abit more control, i saw that allmost every other team had their strongest riders several minutes away in breakaways.. i started relaying with the entire team to try to take back some time, but noone helped.. after allmost bringing back the last breakaway I was just tired and angry of the lag, and that none of the other teams (which also had some great riders) didnt even botter helping out.. so thought to myself.. OK, be lazy.. and stay idling in peloton while i go relaying with my team 20 seconds ahead of the peloton.. thats why i took one 5 second team attack.
thats the only time ive done it.. im not a teamattack player as u will notice in other races we play eachother.

you must use team attack if you have a weaker team,it's your only chance to put 1 or 2 bronze/silver riders in good positions
i used this tactic with bronze team and silver,almost all time and 1st in ranking and i maked aprox. 8.000 coins or maybe more
after you have stronger and stronger team,you don't bother with team attack
tommorow i will buy 11 packs of gold and 2 of silver,as i'll spend 30$
i gotted 2 gold from results and i will win even more easy the stages,i'll make 230 coins at least per each stage and buy gold pack from results of 20-25 races
with 20 gold riders i won't know to choose
And you said I was a cheater for buying packs earlier in this thread, don't be so quick to comment when you are going to do the same.
I would never use team attack, defeats the object of the game and makes the stage boring.
However I weirdly set a moderate pace at one time on a Cat 1 climb with 4 of my domestiques and they got a gap, only relay 78 aswell.

So my game is now freaking out...every time I try to play an armada stage the game loads up, then just goes crazy. Riders jumping around and different parts of the race, positions, commands, effort all going nuts, the commentary and the info text seem to be accurate, but I have no way of knowing, it looks like playing the game at 10,000,000x speed, and going back and forth between start and finish and middle and all over the place. Really killing me since I just want to finish one race and get enough points to buy a silver pack.

you still are a cheater,i firstly build my team and pretty decent team
i'm forced to buy because it's a huge gap between my team and team like you have
i must play like 10 ranking races per every day and be 1st or 2nd human to take at least 200 coins and just after few mounths i can have a team like yours
you or somebody else had wiggins,evans,contador,hesjedal,etc.
i'm forced to buy because i like to play online,i don't care about carrier mode.i cancelled my pre order to tdf 2012 on ps3 and i put half of that money in armada mode and half i'll keep for other game
How is it cheating?? it's not. I am using an option that is available to me, I only have 1 rider above 80 overall and that is Frank Schleck. I have seen and beaten stronger teams than mine.
I won't be putting anymore money into it, although I can easily afford to and get TDF for ps3, I played a few races with my bronze riders as I was unable t get packs straightaway.

I'm just wondering, but my players either lost contracts each and every day, or way after the fact, when I couldn't connect to races. It has been 2 days since I went on Armada, but I went on today and all my riders were 2 lower. Either I'm getting ripped off since I didn't connect to a race anyway, or losing 1 contract each day which is also BS.

You have to play and you have to pay to stay competitive. Usual stupid law of game with mictotransactions.

Stop whining already. The packs are there to be bought by anyone who wants or who can afford it. I won't buy any, even if it takes me months to build an ok team... others will buy packs, it's their choice. You should look up the definition of cheating before insulting people. |

Definitely it's not cheating. however, the experience is totally different if you are willing to buy the packs or try to earn the coins by racing. I for myself decided to not buying any packs since it destroys the fun for me.
Edit: For example, I really enjoyed becoming second on the Vuelta Mountain stage with Masciarelli (76 Mountain with equipment) and 9th with Tschopp (75 in mountain). I don't see how it is fun to win with 9 gold riders only because you have the far better team.

It's Cyanide's fault because they promised a balanced Armada mode and people with bronze teams are facing uber gold teams. I hope they fix this by the time I get the game... |

Is there a way to see which ranking game follows? because i want to match the team for a specific race. If i knew a mountain stage is next i could make my team to have mountain riders. |

I don't think it's possible to see. So you always need to select a balanced team, which btw is one of the few realistic aspects... |

How is realistic to not know which race comes next ?  |

 hehe, the preparation would be quite difficult if the stages of a tour would be unveiled just before the start |

I got told that having bought a good team isn't fun - and obviously, he's right - he's knows what I find funny and how I would like to play my game that I've bought for my own money. I'm sure that 1 hour of playing in x1, watching riders go round and round and eventually ending up as 10th is absolutely thrilling.
Actually, though, don't quite think so.
I guess i'm a 'noob' then.
Bye.
No need for sarcasm. Everything they said is true.
You're serious ? Explain why it's true ?
Those guys were right dicks there. If you don't play the game and you want to enjoy it - buy cards for money. Its' your own choice. Those other guys shouldn't care, it's not their business what he did.
They should complain to Cyanide for creating shit match making system so it matches players with gold Vs bronze riders
I have to agree again, some people work or have college/ school ad are unable to play this very often to build a good team. I work 9 hours a day and weekends sometimes. I have a spare £20 to put into this to enjoy the game. It's not a crime and no one should feel ashamed or slightly intimidated for buying cyans. We are a community around this game and should respect each others actions and ways of playing the game. We may not agree with it but it doesn't mean they are noobs or a cheater or anything along those lines.
The whole point is to move up the game gradually with work. If you just buy a gold team and crush what is the goal?

He isn't trying to crush people he is trying to be able to compete. Like Alakagom said due to shitty match making if he didn't buy a gold pack he would be playing with horrible bronze medal guys against people who have riders like Contador and Gesink, and that isn't very fun
