Hi everybody,
I have a problem, but didn't really find a useful solution to it with the "search" button: My continental team will sure move up to the Pro Tour next season, so now I'm on the 1st of july and want to sign some good riders, but after offering a contract of 40.000 to one, I just have a budget left for signing riders of 6.500, which won't get me very far.
I've read that it's not really possible to change this budget, except for lowering the salaries with Hannes Converter. I anyway just had a total team salery of about 60.000, so lowering all 20 cyclists to 2.000 would just get me to 40.000. I did this, but now the budget for signing is at 0.
I have a backup of the game, but just after I already offered the 40.000 contract to the one rider. Any ideas what I could do? The best of course would be, if someone found a solution to change the signing budget.
Thanks and greetings to all of you  |

Did you try to raise the budget of the actual year, it should raise next years budget as well (If I am right). |

Hi Lachi,
yes, I had to change the budget for the year already earlier in the season, as I was spending more than earned  |

Did you really change the budget? How high is it now? Normally the next years budget should be double the actual budget. (To be sure to move up to Pro Tour you should have won many points by now and the budget is directly linked to the superprestige points or the sponsor hapiness, so how high is it?) |

The budget right now is a little below 1.000.000.
I'm in 1st place at the continental rankings. It's not the first time I play this game and it never happened to me, that I didn't move up to the Pro Tour after my first season.
My sponsor is perfectly happy. I have a full green bar and reached all my 3 goals so far. 3 more goals will come later in the year. This all shouldn't be the problem. Maybe the financial crisis hit my sponsor |

Which game are you playing? In PCM09 the budget is per month and nobody needs 1.000.000 per month. Are you sure you do edit the correct values? |

The 1.000.000 is the general budget (the one on top). I changed it at dyn_team with the Hannes Converter. I think I lost about 150.000 each month for salaries and staff, so I put it that high, not to run in the minus again for the rest of the year. I know, how this works and it works fine for me, but I don't know how to change the budget for signing new cyclists. It probably works with ArtMoney, as I've read somewhere, but I downloaded it and it looked too complicated to me, so I deleted it again |

I have not in mind what amount is displayed where but your description sounds wrong to me. If you raise the monthly budget of your main sponsor you will most probably solve your problem |

Thanks so far, but can you tell me, where to change the monthly budget of my main sponsor? |

Well, I think I already changed it. It was 38.000 and I put it to 1.000.000. My sponsor was so heartbreaking generous But actually it didn't change anything.
The only solution I see right now, is to use my last 6.500 on 2 or 3 cheap young riders, then sim one day and reduce my 40.000 offer to the one rider with Hannes Converter, like I've read somewhere here, but I never did it before. If it all works then, I don't know, but I hope I have a bigger budget again then for offering contracts. Usually I play with Euskadi and then I'm not interested in signing expensive spanish riders, who I anyway know are not Basque. I stay with my own scouted riders then or young unknown talents and probably never ran into this budgeting problem.
Maybe you have another idea, but anyway thanks for your efford Lachi

When playing this game properly you shouldn't get financial problems in the first place. And you shouldn't be able to win the Conti-Tour with an initial budget of 38.000.
And if you cheat your way throu this game anyway, why not just modify the contracts without negotiation? Just simulate some days until the good rider has accepted the offer, then use his two contracts in DYN_contract_offer as reference for the further editing. |

Hi again,
To me it's not really cheating to adjust the budget a little bit. It doesn't seem realistic to me that a conti team gets 38.000 a month. I think the annual budget for pro tour teams in real is around 5-10mill a year. Before with Euskadi I think it was around 100.000 each month. It's also not a lot, but I managed. But what I actually do is to do a lot of training camps, which seems a bit like doping to me, but it's cycling I also don't like to employ coaches, scouts and doctors, that are not good. I guess this is rather what makes my teams expensive |

Look, I don't care what you consider cheating. If you bust the game by using the most expensive staff allthough having a conti-team, fine for me. If you want to have a yearly income of 12.000.000 from your primary sponsor, I don't care.
But if you play as unrealisic as it can get, why not edit the team you want?
That beeing said. I still am sure that you could edit your team to get what you want. Just look for a value of about 38.000 and double or tripple it then test it in the game. (Not without backing the save up of course) |
