My cyclists are not happy

[wheelnut]

Seems most of my cyclists are not happy? Is it because I am not paying them enough? I have four of them up for contract renewal in three weeks time. I tend to just choose the default suggested new contract terms. Should I be given them more to increase their mood?
And does this affect their cycling performance in races?

Do you know about this?

- mood will be recalculated weekly, after the sunday-update !
- the goal was to base the mood primarly on the wage that is payed in respect tot the transfervalue, but also age and duration now have a bigger effect.
- not only underpayment but also (serious) overpayment will result in a lower mood !
- victories/jerseys earned in the last year (52 actual weeks) will raise the mood.
- extra moodpoints for bonusses promissed (including wage increase/number of races) can be scored.
- mood changes after a contract negotiation will disappear to prevent the kind of abuse we witnessed in the past !

Though that is from 2021 (might have been changes).

I would'nt worry about this to much.
Since the last changes, cyclists do'nt ask rediculous wages anymore, wich was the main reason.
The downside is that mood changes in positive direction will occure a lot less than before. But don't worry, it does'nt sound good whet a cyclists mood is ok or not verry happy but these are only words. Look at this, then you will see that these sentences still are mediocre


wants to leave the team as fast as possible
very unhappy

unsettled
not very happy
ok
content

delighted

Well, that is life. I am not happy too. But well, if I say I want to leave, my wife says no.
Have to deal with it.

What I mostly see is a strong relation between the Wage-Transfervalue-ratio and the mood:

W/TV	Mood
0,32%	not very happy
0,44%	not very happy
0,45%	ok
0,47%	ok
0,53%	ok
0,53%	ok
0,54%	ok
0,55%	ok
0,60%	ok
0,61%	ok
0,65%	ok
0,65%	ok
0,66%	content
0,71%	ok
0,75%	content
0,79%	content
0,81%	content
0,82%	content
0,85%	content
0,89%	pleased
0,92%	content
0,98%	content
1,03%	happy
1,09%	pleased
1,58%	delighted
1,71%	delighted
1,88%	happy

The content one with a 0,66% has a win this season lifting his mood a little bit. The same for the pleased one at 0,89%. Give 'em cash and they are happy. naspa will you make the wife comparison on this one too?

With the start of the new season the new mood calculation should come in effect. It took me more (re)thinking the concept as I expected (on already limited time) , so I have only finished my "homework" today.

- mood will be recalculated weekly, after the sunday-update !
- the goal was to base the mood primarly on the wage that is payed in respect tot the transfervalue, but also age and duration now have a bigger effect.
- not only underpayment but also (serious) overpayment will result in a lower mood !

- extra moodpoints for bonusses promissed (including wage increase/number of races) can be scored.
- mood changes after a contract negotiation will disappear to prevent the kind of abuse we witnessed in the past !

So I only just finished a simulation and was surprised how high some wages are (I already knew the lows). One cyclist even managed to score a negative mood by paying almost 10 times the normal wage ! (There is a correction afterwards to keep it in our boundaries, but still). People in this position should break contracts asap.

P.S. : The requested wage by the cyclists also has been lowered to give people a better negotiation position.

and another question

TIP : roughly speaking 1% of the transfervalue is considered a normal wage, the best moods (without bonuspoints) can be reached somewhere between 2 to 3 %, if you pay 4% or more you are actually scoring a lowerr mood.


I've checked a few of my riders and none have the 1% of there TV, so according to the text above they will not have a good mood. OK but if they would have at least 1% of their TV the team would be very expensive.
This way rich teams can pay enough wage to rase the mood and poor teams can not.

Maybe do something about the calbulation of the TV? make the TV much lower?

I agree that the calculation of transfer value is something that can be improved.
