At TMM: Wanted to clarify, about the squad limit size of 30.
Is this simply a limit of riders you can use over a season?
One could for example finish the transfer season with a roster of 32 riders and then just simply choose to use 30 or less riders?

@Smowz
You can finish transfers with as many riders as you like. But yes, you are limited to using 30 for the season. Any unused riders will then leave the team
So you are totally spot on there

Just to notify managers who want to contact me tomorrow...you can send in offers, availability checks, whatever you want...but I won't respond to them in the first few hours because I need to
Doesn't mean I don't like the offer.

How cam you say Euskaltel is weak? I reckon this squad is probably the best climbing squad you can find, even if there is no 80+ climber. Because of the continental type races the riders like Ion Izagirre will get you the most points. By the way he is not for sale or trade.

How can you compare Ion Izagirre to riders like Froome...Nibali...Quintana...Rodriguez
And no competitive sprinters means you'll definitely be in the bottom half of the rankings no matter what. That's why you have a massive budget

True about him not being as strong but there are limited days for those riders and riders like Uran and Sammy can surely be at least partially competitive.
On the sprinting side of things I need to find a Sprinter or multiple sprinters as well as a few classics riders. You also have to think about the future.
And also keep in mind that simulating races can result in some rather huge surprises.

Just a few questions:
1) How are 'new' riders generated at the end of the season?
(Being at Astana I would like to generate some Eurasian riders at the end of the season, will this be possible?)
2) Just to confirm... the budget does reset at the end of the season?
3) In future seasons will there be different races in the calendar? |

@The Rider
1) New riders will be sort of randomly generated... Basically for a couple of seasons it's easy to add in the younger talents like Laverack, Groeniwegen (or however it's splet) and people like that. They will be mixed in with re-gens from career modes.
So there should always be a variety of Nationalities, Styles, Ages and Abilities. They will always be introduced during Transfer Periods.
2) Yes. Budgets will reset for each season. Money does not carry over or have use outside Transfers (yet, eventually it will but not for several seasons)
3) Of course the calendar can change! There are a good number of stages for PCM13 and PCM12 that can be used. There will be general themes to follow ("ardennes classics" and "flanders classics" in some form) but yes it can change up in lots of ways

Planning
https://www.mediafire.com/?363w0sy04k...sy04k9jmz4
That is the planning template. It's really easy to fill out!
1) Download and open the file (it's excel)
2) Write in your riders names down the left (replacing the Rider 1-30)3
3) Leave out any riders you want to "fire" (can only be done if you have over 30 riders)
4) Each race must have 8 riders! To assign a rider, put the number of race days into the corresponding box
5) Total race days per rider cannot exceed 50 days. Automatically calculated on the right hand side
6) Rename and save the file. Title it with your team name.
7) Send it to me via PM
Nice and simple! Any problems ask me. Deadline is next Saturday (11th). Plenty of time for you to fill it out, and for me to make the new .cdb.

Sounds ok. Could you give us a team screenshot once the DB is finished?

Yes, but don't expect it to be finished for several days at least

Nice that we have a lot of time to get this done.
TMM - No doubt some will have troubles getting the planning done, what is the
punishment if they fail to meet the deadline? |

@Rider
Well the season will start so they may not have their best teams riding the races. They must then take these races into account with the rest of the their planning, which will be annoying i guess.

TMM, NC and WC will not count towards race days, right?
And can you link me to the post with the point system, cannot seem to find it. Thanks.

NC doesn't count. WC RR is not a race. ITT is the Chrono ITT event.
Might not have posted it then... It'll go up in the front post tomorrow

Could someone be bothered to write a small summary on the race profiles? (I have my last 2 exams coming up on Tuesday and then the next Monday, so I'm kinda busy until the deadline ) |
