I can´t find the answer, so i ask you.
What is the best level to play PCM ?
Normal : you often win ; difficult : it´s hard to win, even your cyclist is a champion.
So, you can play normal for WT races and difficult for the others.
Do you think it´s a good solution ?
You can change the coef of the difficulty to lower it I think it's in local cdb but I don't know where
By defult it's 1,15 in difficult and 1 in normal
STA_race_difficulty in Local.cdb 
Didn't know you could do this! I'd like to move up the difficulty a bit but maybe not a whole level in mid season - if I change the values in Local.cdb to say 1.10 rather than 1.15 for difficult, does that mean I'll get a mix of the 2 levels when i select difficult?
By the way... it IS possible to change difficulty level in a savegame right? Or do I need to start a new game? |

Yes it'll be easier than playing on Hard, but not as easy as it was on Normal 
You can change this whenever you want, no need to start a new game.

Is't possible to change the world champion in the editor from Phillip Gilbert to Rui Costa ? |

Yes. I'd advise to just do that with the editor that comes with the game(when you start the game click 'DB editor' instead of Play)
Then you can just untick Gilbert as WC and tick Costa as WC

Going to be making a GB and USA conti team and need so ideas for good american domestiques that are slightly older 24< as not go much idea on America conti scene. Lead out men and mountain goats would be nice.
I know Yates brothers will be my leaders plus one more Lawson Craddock or Caleb Ewan. I definitely need Bibby though  |

Just decided to download the Daily DB when it comes out, given in despite its late arrival. Not decided what career to start yet, probably NetApp or a WT team like Argos or Lotto. Won't be a long career though nor will I play it a lot, due to me having a story.
Not quite sure how to create different PCM copy so I can use this and the FCD, going to give it a go now before the DB is released. Hopefully nothing goes wrong  |

I had the same question as you, but the solution is quite easy.
Insert your disk, go to 'My computer', and then go to F/G(wherever PCM is then). Then, there's a setup option, and you can just install it again, even without an additional activation and without deleting the FCD

Chad Haga is a good young climber nacho.
And what kind of sicko would start a career without Bibby? |

Didn't get the disk version, so just re-download and install to a new place so I have 2 games? |

Just watch out that your savegames don't overwrite eachother seen the fact that the save folder in your "My Documents" will be used by both games then.

That's a really big squad, but nicely balanced I'd say
Good luck on extreme!

Phil Gaimon, decent climber, from the Baltimore area. Signed with Garmin for 2014
Kiel Reijnen, also reasonable climber
Keogh brothers for the sprints (Luke and Jake)
Of course if you are going conti too many of these and the others listed in prior posts will be too strong, all really pro-conti level riders.
Take a look at the mountain jersey standings from the Tour of California and you will find a good list of mediocre American climbers. |

Never been so dissapointed in my life of PCM, Quintana who as i thought got stronger and stronger throughout the Giro was 23 seconds with 1 MTF and 29km ITT left, i had won the last 2 MTF taking little bits of time from Nibali and he just beat me by 18 seconds now leads by 2 seconds before the ITT(which means zero chance of a win). So annoyed i have Intxausti in 5th and Cappechi was 7th now 8th, as i knew i had an ITT to come i let no break go as i wanted the bonus for the stage win, i also sprinted for Intermediate(probably a bad move. But i even blew Intxausti up he lost like 4 minutes compared to guys ahead and behind and it still did not work i usually just use Amador, and Capecchi to protect Quintana and Intxausti and then after like 2 kms of the last climb just tempo on their own but even using Intxausti to protet Nairo never worked. 4 stage wins, points jersey, Kotm, Young rider, Team and all is missing is Pink . That means Quintana has podiumed all 3 GT's but i wanted the win he came 3rd in Le Tour and 2nd in La Vuelta last year and now 2nd this year in the Giro.
