Why should Cyanide kick prizemoney out of the Game!?
I mean they want to create a realistic Cycling manager and a race without prize money is unrealistic! Of course, i mean not all the money comes to the Team there are Boni for the riders, but why they think the smaller Teams are more presented in atacks on flat stages... ? Beacause of the prize for the sprint and hill trophy !
I know what they want to create and how it works, but it doesnt make sense to me! If you do not have a Downloaded Database where the bikes dont cost anything, you have no money to engage trainers or scouts or even teamphysicians. This, i think, is not really good for the game, because in the last PCM's you had to win prizemoney for pay the salary, and now you have to look for the whole season if you buy a trainer and so on.
I think, in the first season when you must buy your bikes and wheels and so on, there is no money for good trainers and goot training camps both in this year.
Im sorry for my english, i hope everybody understand what i mean
You get half a million at the start of the career and at the end of the season you get an additional (13th) monthly payment. It should not be too hard to calculate how much equipment you can buy or how expensive the additional staff should be.
And I think it is good that you cannot buy all the equipment and all the staff in the first season.
Oh, and on another note, in case you didn't know:
Equipment doesn't have any influence on the results. At least not when racing in 3D, Simulation hasn't been proved yet though.
