Quick question for those who've played that far: Will the budget be adjusted for the next season depending on your sponsor's satisfaction (or maybe the promotion to WT) or is it like last year with the budget only changing by adjusting goals or signing a new contract?

Didn't it next year's budget change by sponsor satisfaction last year too?

Okay, that's good to hear. But I suppose I only get to see the new budget at the end of the year? Is there any specific criteria to estimate the budget? That would be quite useful come transfer time.

does the sponsor satisfaction have a effect on the next year's sponsor. my contract ends this year and I'm sorta failing all my goals (Top 3 at Qatar, fuck that I'll get Top 25  )

(Obviously this is not the final budget but only an estimation)

But if you want to prolong, it might matter. (At least it was like that in PCM 2013)

Correct.
People are growing impatient for a new patch, though. |

You know that there is a thread about the next patch, right?
BTW: As far as I could see, the sprinting problem will not be fixed. |

Well, with the patch out, I finally can sell my double and triple riders(even had some rider 7 times ).
I managed to gain exactly 5001 coins.
So opened my first gold pack.
Guess?

Let's all take a minute and laugh hard at that. That's like the worst PCM gold pack ever. Well done Jes.

I can't really find any threads about armada, so i have a question.
Im a newbie to armada, i played a little bit in PCM13, but i didn't really understand it. So i have some questions:
- Which packs is best to buy and when should i begin to open the big packs (gold and legendary)
I also just in general need some small tips about it.
Can you guys review my team? is it good?

You're able to use Legendary packs from 8th level, asaik. Your team is solid (on level of mine, to be fair), so just keep playing and getting new guys.
Some tips:
- You can start buying gold packs now (I don't know which level you are, but you should be able to use them soon), but do not save much money for them. Buy 1-2 gold packs on start and focus on getting many bronze packs (explanation below).
- Never buy silver packs. The answer on your question ("Why" is simple. They're giving you 1, mostly 2 and rarely 3 silver guys/items and you can get that pretty much in every bronze pack (you get at least 1 and mostly 2 silver guys) and judging by their price (you can get 3 bronze packs and save 100 coins in price of only one silver), it's clear that bronze pack is better option.
- Never use multiple leaders at one stage - just not worth it. Your riders will get tired soon and you don't get much with bringing many leaders in one race. So, the best option is to save other leaders for some future stages. That way, you can play more armada stages and get more coins. F.e., if the stage is flat, bringing your best and 4th sprinter will be enough for doing good. Bringing 1st, 2nd and 3rd best sprinters (refers to any other type of rider) is just nonsense, as they will be tired right after that and you won't have any good leader left in 2-3 stages.
There are probably few more tips, but I just can't remember any of them atm. Other than that, it's on you to discover. Have fun!

Bronze packs > Silver packs.
You get a lot more silver riders with 3 bronze packs(3x 300 = 900) than with 1 silver pack(= 1000).
Always buy Bronze packs.
When to buy gold packs? Difficult to say. If you are as lucky as I am, never.
It's your decision when to buy it. If you collected 2500+ coins, then it might make some sense to save the money and go on to the gold packs.

Thank you so much! Amazing help! Btw im in level 8 now
With the new auto simulation, is then very smart to use that?
I if wanna watch some tv, should i just go in to a stage and then let it ride with the new auto feature? Will it still give me money?
And is it worth it?
Quick question how do i use the in game chat (stage)?

When I install the patch manually, it makes a whole new folder with the new files, causing the game to not have the necessary files to run, and the old game to not be updated.

I am not even sure if auto works in online mode, to be honest. I don't think so.
For chat, just press Enter. If you miss something in chat, press Space and find Chat table. There you can see all previous messages from that stage/race.

Just drag the folders/files over, like you were installing a db. I've done that before, I think on PCM 10 if you move over a certain file it makes the game think you've updated your game, but you really haven't so I could play with the 2nd last patch, instead of the last patch, which ruined gameplay that year. Only difference here is you move all the files over instead of just one.
