[What]

Thanks... Ora cá está a SL Benfica - Sagres:

 

 

Equipa continental que tentei criar sem roubar graaandes vedetas ou atletas de Porto e Sporting. Agora é tentar levar o Nelso a ganhar a Volta. :mrgreen:

[Siul]

Com essa equipa é pra fazer 1º,2º,3º,4º,5º (pra nao dizer mais) na volta e vencer as 11 etapas

[Lage_Effect]

Se os manteres todos tens equipa para subir a WT em 2 anos.

[What]

Com essa equipa é pra fazer 1º,2º,3º,4º,5º (pra nao dizer mais) na volta e vencer as 11 etapas

Que exagero. :mrgreen:

[Siul]

Que exagero.

 

Talvez

 

Mas essa é uma equipa já muito superior ao nível português

[What]

Eu não vi em detalhe como estão o Alarcon, o Veloso, o Nocentini ou mesmo o Amaro Antunes no jogo, mas tirando o Nelson para a geral, os trepadores não têm mais de 72 na montanha (Belda e Delio Fernandez) mas depois não têm mais de 65 de CR. O Ovechkin é o contrario... tem 73 em CR mas só 67 na montanha.

[Lage_Effect]

O jogo está a 19.99 na Steam.

[SabezZ]

Amigos, vale a pena comprar o PCM 2015? Está a 5,99€ na steam. O último que joguei foi o 12, creio.

[What]

Bem, resumo da primeira época... Flopei. :mrgreen:

 

Cumpri a maioria dos objectivos a que me propus mas não ganhei a Volta. Isto em grande parte porque não preparei convenientemente os picos de forma e cheguei à volta com o Nelson a 75% de forma. Mesmo assim ficou em 3º atrás de malta estrangeira (Trofimov e Egor Silin). :mrgreen:

[What]

[What]

Bem, tentei a dobradinha. Meti o Tiago Machado na fuga mas não resultou, então na última volta meti o Nelson a puxar forte na frente para preparar um ataque do Rui Costa na última passagem pela subida.

 

E cá vai disto:

 

 

Sendo um percurso mais para sprinters, obviamente todos tentaram ir atrás, e cheguei à reta da meta com os sprinters a cheirarem-me o traseiro:

 

 

Cheirava a que ia ser mesmo apanhado nos últimos 100 metros, já que já ia esgotado. E terminou assim:

 

 

 

 

HE DID IT! HE PULLED A DOUBLE! :mrgreen:

[Contador]

ui, esse final se perdias :lol:

Era desinstalar logo o jogo :mrgreen:

 

 

Bem, já tenho objetivo para a DB de 2018 :mrgreen:

[What]

Eu honestamente arranquei mentalizado que não ia conseguir ganhar, porque um ataque tão perto da meta dificilmente vinga. Foi mesmo à tangente e quando deu o slow motion do fim pensei que tinha feito 2º ou 3º. :lol:

Apenas tentei o ataque ali porque desde o inicio da corrida que vi como únicas possibilidades ganhar na fuga do dia ou com um ataque do Rui naquele sítio. Mandei o Machado para a fuga sem sucesso, restou-me aquilo.

 

Qual vai ser o objectivo para o 2018? Fazer a dobradinha?

[Contador]

Não não :lol:

Criar um ciclista com o nome de Contador no Be a Pro e ganhar tudo com ele :mrgreen:

[Lage_Effect]

 

belo regen :mrgreen:

Pro Cycling Manager 2018 devblog! - AI Improvements

 

Breakaways

 

 

 

With regards to realism, a fundamental part of a cycling race is a breakaway, and we endeavored to make the way that the AI approaches them more realistic. The characteristics of the race that can cause a breakaway to start are affected by multiple different factors. If the race is a classic - Escapes will be less numerous, with cyclists from small teams with few possibilites to win taking it more slowly. If it is a stage of a grand tour, such as le Tour de France, the amount of cyclists (and their quality) in the breakaway will depend on the profile of the stage, and how far through the tour the stage takes place.

 

During flat stages at the beginning of a grand tour, a rider's teammates will have the fresh energy needed to spend on catching the breakaway, and bringing their best sprinters to try and gain victory. As such, the cyclists in the breakaway will generally be less numerous, and be represented by cyclists in the small teams that have to take the desperate chance to win.

 

As stages move forwards, and the teams energy levels decrease, the possibility of the breakaway winning increases, with the consequence of more and better cyclists becoming interested in joining the early morning breakaways, especially with the more difficult stages having the possibility of having 30 cyclists or more taking part in them.

 

The riders taken part in the breakaway will now also react with more intelligence with a long-term tactic. They will give more freedom to cyclists in the breakaways with a large gap in the general rankings, or who are considered not dangerous to the leader's ambitions. That's not all, though, in the very last mountain stages, the most combative leaders, even those that may still be a significant way from the yellow jersey, will try all or nothing attacks to gain positions.

 

 

 

 

Leader Strategy and Winning Tactics

 

 

In this edition of Pro Cycling Manager 2018, we aim to make the behavior of leaders more logical and intelligent. Leaders that want to attack during the mountain stages will be more careful to plan their strategies, using their teammates to make selections in a group before moving to attack. Strong riders and team leaders will try to make the stage harder and more selective, as well as attack far from the finish line to surprise the other team leaders.

 

As a consequence of this, the evolution of races will be more difficult to predict, and players will need to adapt and discover, stage by stage, by the best tactic to win.

 

 

Classics

 

 

In addition to improving the AI for stage races, we know that there should be a different and specific set of behaviours for classics, and so now teams will face these with a different approach.

 

Cobble races have been revisited completely, with particular attention to the Paris-Roubaix. The difficulty of the cobble sectors has been increased to make it more similar to reality, and having excellent cobble specialists in your team will be even more important. While the best teams will try to keep the race under control, underdog riders will try to attack and surprise other cyclists from the very first cobble segments.

 

Any classic will have a forgone finale: In Sanremo, for example, while punchers may try and early attack from the Poggio, the best sprinters will be even more combative, using their teammates to close the gap or to follow attacks, at Wevelgem, the North races specialists will make the most to avoid a sprint final, attacking in the centre hard sections of the races, or by exploiting wind. Classic like San Sebastian or Lombardia can be solved either with attacks from the final hill, or a small group sprint.

 

 

Cyclist Speed

 

 

Finally, cyclist speed will now completely adhere to reality in every stage profile and race situation. Now that the AI has been improved, intermediate sprints will be more competitive, as the AI is more combative as it tries to gain points.. Flat Time Trials have been improved by increasing the time gaps. What this meas is that we have made larger speed gaps between riders to improve the time gaps in Time-Trial. to bring them closer to reality. Being a time trial specialist will be instrumental in conquering le TDF!

"IA isto IA aquilo" á volta do minuto 16:20, acaba a chegada em alto num sprint a 6 :lol:

[ZeLeitao]

Podiam estar todos com boas sensações. :mrgreen:

 

Btw, a nível de gráficos parece não mudar nada. Se as alterações forem, supostamente, a nível de IA mas se se mantiver, vou pedir reembolso.
