Career - Youth development Potential
Pieroku
Hi guys, I got a few questions about the Scout/Youth development part:

You scout a rider, you get his potential (1 to 8)
You close monitor a rider, you get his development potential (bad, good, ...)

Just wanna double check:
1. I would guess that Development potential is how fast the rider's stats are increasing?
2. Potential... I'm confused:
a) is it how good the rider will become?
b) Or is it like in PCM14 how much growth potential he has?

---> The difference would be if I recruit a rider with potential 5-8 and low stats (<60): in the a) situation, then my rider will become good regardless, in the b), then he wouldn't become necessary good (like in PCM14, a guy with 60 and 4 stars would have a good increase margin but the stat will never be above 68.


3. Close Monitoring: can you only monitor 1 rider per scout or have I missed something?

4. Can you improve your chances to have good riders in your development team, or is it totally random?



I think that's it for now Smile

Potential is their limit and speed they are growin. with potential 8 and a player 18 year old. he already could have 85 mountain at 21.

Close monitoring: 1 each scout
just close the career and make a development team again if you want a better one.
(first look at the transferlist for uncontrracted cyclists)

ok thank you!

Is there any way we can know when a rider reaches his maximum stat without looking in the db? Because when you don't know, you keep training him and it's a waste of time... I guess when you see the stat not increasing anymore, you know but because sometimes it takes a long time to increase, you would have to wait maybe 6 months before you are sure he is maxed out... plus write down each rider's stat to know if he improves...
How do you guys figure it out?

Another question: I've noticed that riders improve more when they don't race for a while (so more time training I guess) that would make sense. Is it how it works or is it just me?

Thanks

Nobody has figured that out?

If you are talking about career, each rider has got some stars next to each stat. A star roughly is worth 1.5/2 points. If there are 0, he could progress max 1 point or even 0 for instance, of there are 6 he could get better by 10+ points though Wink

Are you talking about pcm 2015? I dont think the stars are there anymore, unless I have missed something?

With close monitoring I only see stars there. Is that the ones you're talking about ? (because if I remember correctly there's a max of 5 not 6). IMO these stars refers to the max potential of the rider.
