Suggestions for the game

[aroda]

CNT and AMT calendars already have days off between races. On the higher divisions it is not possible to allow days-off during competition as the season length would increase too much.
Having days-off on ContinentalPro and CyaTopTour means that we would have to sacrifice for instance 1 stage on the big tours (total race would be 6 days instead of 7) and I think we already discussed that during the first beta of cymo and most people voted for having an extra racing day.

It would be nice to be able to see the rankings in the other divisions (adds a bit of interest to see who's doing what!). Is this possible?

[Cyclemad]

I'd like to see a seperate forum grouping for the CTT, CNP, CNT and AMT, which then can be organized into the 4 different GW's.

Do you think it's possible to improve the tactics ?
It is impossible to set it correctly because it's an obligation to register in PRO when you are in CTT.
So,if you don't have 30 riders,you can do nothing.
I don't really want to race in PRO!!!!
I would like to be able to register only in CTT.
I hope I will have an answer this time, cos the games developpers seem to be somewhere else since a week....
I have an other question,post 2 or 3 times already: How can you hire a rider when his team accept the deal??????????
In case I still have no answers, I think I will turn off the game for a long time...........
It's thursday right now,so I hope someone is working today.
Sorry to say that,but I think CYMO is killing the game by his silence......
We can understand bugs and issue,but not the silence....TY

Hey TEUZAC,

Don't quite understand what you mean by "silence" from the staff. Cyclemad and Aroda routinely post information at these forums and they are very accessible. And to my knowledge they don't really make money doing this. Remember you are playing a Beta game. Everyone was well warned that there will be glitches and there will be problems. Some of the issues you are raising have been discussed before. For example, since none of the PRO races count for CTT points and rankings, you don't have to worry about winning. You can send the minimal number of riders in their worst shape to those races and it won't affect how you run your CTT campaign.

As far as your question; once a team accepts your proposal you will then have to negotiate with the rider directly. When you make a proposal to a team, the money you pay only grants you the right to negotiate with the rider. Trying to lure the rider away from the team is an entierly separate negotiation. So now that the team has accepted your compensation, click on the name of the rider and make him an offer.

If you do decide to quit the game, we'll miss you. But I'll be more than happy to have your spot, even if it means I will have to change Game Worlds.

Don't worry,I won't quit the game....I am addicted
But it is a lot of frustrations right now.

Please give us the changes you'd like to see, and we'll forward them to the developers.

It is possible, even with 18 riders, but does take a bit of a mental exercise. I did do it before the last restart, and I can tell you it is possible.

Unfortunately this is one of the requirements for being in CTT.
If you would like to play the game as it was in season 1, you have the option to delete your team/account, and then to re-register. If you do this, you need to select the "playground" option, which will allow you to play the game as it was for season 1 with none of the new features.
After season 2, you will have the option to select to ride CNP and not CTT, even if you are a top manager. You can do this if you don't want all the extra pressure and requirements that a CTT team would have.

I hope I will have an answer this time, cos the games developpers seem to be somewhere else since a week....

Yes, aroda is now almost 100% on the PCM team, and I have no idea who the people are that are now working on CyMO. I am busy trying to be a contact so that I can keep all the players informed.

I have an other question,post 2 or 3 times already: How can you hire a rider when his team accept the deal??????????

I think that you go back to the team page, and then make the rider an offer. This time you will not have to make an offer to the team, but only to the rider. If he accepts, he moves, if not, he stays. Look to make it a 3 star offer if you want to be sure of hiring him.

In case I still have no answers, I think I will turn off the game for a long time...........

I am sorry that I have not seen your posts. As for the silence from the developers, I can do nothing about that. Cyanide have taken many people off the project and I no longer know who is taking care of it. I will continue to try and find that person.

Couple of things...

Tactics wise: Could we include some kind of responsive (or 'IF') tactics? Like if team member makes it into break away the rest of the team are to block the peleton and not chase, etc. (I came second after a breakaway by 1 sec after being partially caught by the bunch after my team had forced the pace earlier in the chase!)

Falls/Punctures: Part of me doesn't want to suggest this because I like riding unaffected races, but it seems from my minimal knowledge of real cycling races there are many more falls and punctures than I've witnessed in the game simulations. Although it might be frustrating I think it would add some of the less expected results if there was a crash on the final corner taking half the sprinters out! So what do you think about including group crashes? and more often seeing these occur? Also is there the potential for riders receiving injuries? I realise these are frustrating things when they happen, but appear to be part of managing a cycling team.

Glad to have the game back up and running again, there is more continuity in my life once more!

Hello,

It would be nice to have a small display box of the skills development status on the Home Page as we had for the TDFO and the Vuelta !

[bambini]

first: Change the "!" (participation sign for a rider on the tactics page) in something else. For instance the initials of the actual race, the use of different colors,or so because now if you are doing tactics for lets say the third race nearly everyone has a "!" and unless you have written down on paper who is riding what you have no idea anymore who is riding what and when, when selecting cyclists. .

second: about choice in tactics: I wouls like to see a double setting for settings such as "force the pace." When you want the first points for some yerseys and you set "force the pace" the appointed teammates will keep going till they drop dead...long after that sprint. I would rather want to see something like in the TTs where you can work with 3 zones .
