For scouting places i'll suggest to add: Liechtenstein (cause it's fun), France, Austria, and other countries like San Marino, Monaco or Vaticano (if it exists) or even slovenia (like 100% alps countries team)
Yes! Tudor Pro Cycling with our Czech legend Petr Kelemen (2nd at Strade Bianche U23 irl) is an interesting project and they're probably gonna be ProTeam in 2023. You can try some scouting in Czech Republic and Slovakia, these regions are connected so it shouldn't be problem.
@@adrianwanner7092 When I reach World Tour, I'll likely be a bit more international than them as I want everyone to feel like they can support a rider from their country in the team.
On the Sqaud page, when you're seeing the Attributes, there is a button on the top right corner (yellow circle button). If you click it maybe it shows the development arrows. At least on the previous editions of the game that function was there.
@@BenjiNaesenTV I thought multiple clicks could show different attribute changes, Like current form, increase/decrease since career start or since joining the team. Would be nice...
Benji a challenge for you. See how far you can get with something like a Mongolian only team. I'd love to see that. As much as I enjoy your playthroughs, I just wonder why you wouldn't challenge yourself a bit more? Choosing in this case for an all zwitser squad. I know a lot of people are a huge fan of globalism and internationalism. But for veteran players, which you can count yourself one of. PCM isn't overly competitive on extreme difficulty. If you handicap yourself by set rules and limitations this game actually becomes challenging. Having to deal with the restrictions of countries not being able to produce and having the best talents, makes the game so much harder and above all in my opinion a lot more enjoyable. As some nationalities outside the top 10 countries just don't have the top cyclists in the world. Which makes you appreciate the talents a heck a lot more and their current stars. In my PCM 2021 playthrough I ended up the first season with Gazprom with Russians only top of the PRO conti teams in prestige and second season 4th overall. With Vlasov and the rest being max 73 riders. Being able to win grand tours and monuments will be tough. As in the mountains there won't be much back-up while other teams have plenty of domestiques left.
Reason is simple, majority of the viewers prefer if I'm international in terms of team because then they can support a rider from their own region. It's why I usually have extremely international World Tour teams at the end, because everyone asks me to sign a rider from their country, haha.
You'll have to go old school and take screenshots of your team every once in a while to keep track of the stat increases. A flashback to my PCM07 story telling! Far better in video for race reporting and all the set up and game play!
New to the game and I don’t understand the Calendar / Planner, wish you had showed that… maybe do a tutorial? Either way it was a great video can’t wait to see the next episode!!
Nice. Time for another great PCM season. xD BTW Can anyone explain to me how the team Index at the end of the season works and how your rank gets calculated, for the placement in the next season?
My riders often peak weeks befor their objective? Do you give them a lot of objectives? If i eg. give a rider LBL, TDF and WC as objective, he will peak weeks before the races, even if i give him few or a lot of races before the objective. What is the best way to make them peak the correct time?? :)
Suggestion: train one of your 66 COB riders to become a cobble rider. You might score some points in smaller Belgian races with him. If he doesn't become very good, he still can be of help for a future signing. edit: I see, you already did that ;)
I am watching this now as i type this comment & I know the new series is going to be awesome. I’m excited for whats to come. As soon as I can buy Tdf 2022 in US, the first time I play will be with Eolo in honor of you 🫡👏🏻.
It's still funny that after all those hours in the PCM career mode, Benji still has absolutely no idea how to manage the fitness peaks with the selected objectives 😂
@@BenjiNaesenTV thank you so much i get allways blocked by the sprints... i hope this will help me :) as allways great videos ! I love the game and this channel
Might not be the best time to do a career, there is a bug where your game crashes during late August or early September on career mode and corrupts your save. Hopefully it’s fixed by the time you get there but might be worth do a pro cyclist first
@@andrewkane4228 Tested with 18 careers who have all gotten into season 2, and additionally, August is the end of my season, so I can switch DB like I did with EOLO if it becomes an issue.
@@patrykgrajewski3773 I think they're both amazing. Just like SDB 2022. I'm just using this one for Season 1 as it fit what I needed the best. I might switch between season although that will take some time in the DB editor.
@@BenjiNaesenTV i prefer world tour over pro conti. With pro conti you have to wait for invites so you can't set up your planning completely and the pre season page is always fucked bc of that
