Okey, I am having a bit of a problem, or maybe it depends on how you look at it.
My sponsor revenue for the next season will be 287.000 Euros. After signing a few clilmbers my wages for next season would be 233.000 Euros so since I had some money left I decided to sign a sprinter. I tried my luck with Greipel and offered him 55.000 Euros.
In the text box that poppes up when you try to sign someone I could see that my sponsors max wage budgett would be 287.000 Euros and that wouldn't allow more than that. Since I figured I might not be able to sign Greipel I also tried my luck with EBH. Since the sponsors had set a max leve when it came to wages I didn't think I would be able to sign both.
Suddenly, I get a message saying that I've signed BOTH Greipel and EBH! The system for signing riders have f*** me up the ass so my times by not letting me sign enough riders, now it suddenly gives me way to much leeroom!
Short story; I thought the financial system wouldn't be completely retarded, now I'm stuck with one rider too many. Any suggestions as to what I should do? Don't even think about suggesting edting my budget, I do not cheat.
I've included a photo of my financial situation for the coming season. Do you think I can make it with both Greipel and EBH in my team? Or will I go bust? Keep in mind, I have 2 scouts who both I'm planning on sacking, that will free about 50.000 Euros.

Well, without those scouts you'd be losing ~130000 per month. That's a lot, but you should survive with a decent season plus your available cash.
So you should be fine imo, although your balance will probably go a bit down.

If you can't edit the budget, get rid of a rider. Or tank. Your choice.

I must say, I'm regretting the signing of Greipel... I am allmost considering releasing him from hist contract once the new season starts.

If I were you I would just edit the save and delete the future contract with Greipel. It's DYN_contract_cyclist, which can be accessed easily through DYN_cyclist. |

I am thinking about doing it. I am not very interested in loading up the back-up save since in the time between I was able to get a 3rd place in the TdF with Kreuziger. I had some "tactics" during those stages that I won't be able to repeat.
So how do I go about editing it? What do I write instead? I still want other teams to be able to sign him, so.

You have to delete the whole line in DYN_contract_cyclist which is linked to Greipel and your team. Just try it. As long as you don't overwrite your save, you cannot make huge mistakes. In case you cannot figure it out, you can upload your save and somebody here will fix it for you. |

I deleted the line and overwrote the save, however it still said Greipel would be signing with me next season. Strangly though, the budget was now as it would have been without Greipels contract.
I tried advancing one day, but it still said he would be signing with me. When I clicked the "contact-button" I get a message saying he is under contract with a new team.

I guess you should also change his fkIDcyclist_future (DYN_cyclist) to 8 (free).

Okey, we're closing in. Now it still says he's joining me and I I still get the same message if I click "Contact". The only difference is that on his rider profile it says "looking for a team" on the last line.

Well, I think there's still another value to change - but I don't know which one. Once I've tried to add the strong riders which sometimes are left as free agents in the end of a season to any team, but it didn't work 100%, like in your case. So there must be another value to edit, just not sure which one.

Hmm... If I can't get it to work maybe I could upload the save so someone could give me a hand?
Seems like a bit of a luxury problem, though having Sagan and Greipel as a leadout for EBH might be a bit overkill.

C'mon. Greipel and EBH in team its great. You should be happy with that. If you want to release him you'll have to pay him salary so it makes no sense. You can do it safely through the race awards. Release scouts.

Yeah, it's a tough decition... but with him the sprinters in my team would be Greipel, EBH, Sagan, Blythe, Guardini and Kristoff.
I probably wouldn't be able to win a damn sprint anyway

There's no doubt that the game is missing a "confirm signing" stage from your end, like FM has. |

Yeah... there's still still big way to go before PCM hs a fucntioning manager-part. This is only one of the reasons why I'm very hesitant when it comes to purchasing the new version.

I have uploaded my save file in the hopes that someone could take a look at it for me. Remember, I would like Greipels future contract with me nulled out. My team is Litex - Trilux and if I remember correctly the teamID is "7".
One minor problem, though... how do you upload a save file? I can't seem to remember how.

Sometimes there is a bug in this forum about attaching files to your post but it should work like this:
Click the REPLY button
Below the message box, in the area "Attachment" click the "select" button
Post the reply
In case this does not work, you can upload it to some "on click hoster" and post the link here. |
