Developing Riders
jandal7
Two questions:

What is the highest potential level that works?

And what is the most realistic evolution level with no trainers (continental team)?

Thanks in advance.

Potential is 1-8, 8 being high and 1 being low.

Evolution: Game standard is 0.5 but most agree it's too fast. My recommendation is 0.3 but PCM14 loves it's stat inflation so for a long career probably 0.1 or 0.2 is best.

Also what does capital_f_[stat] mean?

You'd better not touch it. It has something to do with the riders' developing when they reach the highest stat but I don't know exactly what actually affects. But I guess that is not used anymore in the dbs and it has just to be removed.

Capital is used.
You see, a rider can develop when the capital exceeds the current stat number. Say capital_mountain is 100, mountain is 76. Mountain is able to progress to 77 in that case, leaving 33 or 34 points left at capital_mountain.
If capital_mountain would be 166, Mountain would be able to progress to 78, since there would be enough points.

This will build up until the next ''developing'' moment comes, which you can find in one of the last columns of Dyn_cyclist, gene_i_day_progressing I believe. (A new progress moment will happen when gene_i_day_progressing hits 0)

0,3 is the most realistic progress speed, at least that is the general opinion.

If you somehow want to speed up development of a single rider, I'd suggest that you change gene_i_year_progressing to 5, rather than changing Capital. It should be a 1-5 scale, and is a random development factor. 5 is about 10 times as fast as 1, I believe, so if you want someone to progress fast, you can change it to 5 during career. It will be reset each season though, to keep the randomness.
