I have some experience from playing 2007 database for pcm2 and now I am at the end of 3rd season with tinkoff. When I tried first it was unbelievable for me to see beatufil graphic work that was done by ppdb! Database and everything is just fantastic! Many races I went on my own were made really realisticly and also startlists- like in real life. But I wonder if there are possiblle ways to change other parts of the game- after one season there was no single talented youngster no more when making scouting. Other thing was the unrealistic race diffiulty- usually in spring it was quite difficuilt to win some races- like in real. But when i came to the end of the season i was able to win everything with one single rider that saved his shape for that part of the season ( boasson hagen in year 2008 in my game won Tour de Pologne, WC, Zurich, Lombardia, Paris Tours, + all other 1.1 and HC hilly races he started. Overall it was not difficuilt to be very dominant and sometimes I had first 5 riders in 1.1 races that are in real really hard to win. Question is which difficuilty I experienced. I played on Hard. When I played Extreme I found it sometimes unrealistic. It was annoying when you had 83 level climber in top form around 90 and guys with 75 climbing were better even you played with no attacking style and tried to stay behind the wheel!!:-) I have no idea if there are ways to improve something of this in 2008 db. But I have to say I enjoyed a lot of fun and great playing with 2007db and without it Pro cycling manager was just one week fun for me. Game alone is just for children 3-13 (they didnt stick that limit to the game, there is just 3+) 
I just ordered on web pro cycling manager 08 because I saw that lot of people starting big work on db for this game here. I have big hopes for PCM4 
). I'm playing with VitaFytea in the Tour of Faso. The Tour of Faso is an important race, looking at the goals. Everything went allright until 31/10, where I lost 4 of my players because of transfers, and they all left the Tour! The next race, I couldn't click on the names in the rankings because otherwise the game crashed, so I simulated the stage, and here's a classic CM3 bug:
