can you make it possible to see which messages you sent to your friends. Sometimes I forgot the things I wrote and that is very ennoying.

a weight and height field for the search in the transfers!
could be useful.

It could be useful, but I think it would make it to easy to find the perfect cyclist. The same for secondary skills, if you can search on these it would make it to easy. I have an other suggestion/idea Scouting a race with a cyclist The idea is scouting a race with a cyclist. You can select a cyclist and let him scout a race. The advantage is that the cyclist who scouted the race will know the parcours better and so will have a better time as he would normally have. The cyclist can scout one race every two days, so he won't be able to race in an other race. He also will lose 5% fitness for every race he scout. With this idea you can concentrate you with a cyclist on one big or small tour, or maybe a single race. This would be better for the teams whitout very good cyclists. Every season you will have to scout the race again to get an advantage. Every time you scout a race, the advantage will become smaller. (Example: You scout a race once, you get 3% bonus, when you scout it twice the advantage is only 4%) Sorry for my bad English, but I think this is a great idea. Maybe a big change, but useful  |

That's actually a very original idea. It means that possible Tour winners probably will scout several races of it, which rules them out of other competitions before that tour (because the loss of fitness and because they can't be at two places at the same time). If one would like to scout the whole Tour de France, it would cost him 22 days! That means more possibilities for the other teams to win in the previous tours, which means a more exciting battle per division! Plus it would make some races less predictable: some cyclist will perform better than usual. There are some drawbacks, however: * teams with a lot of cyclists can scout every race beforehand, because they can switch between participators. And often enough the big teams are the richest teams. (Allthough I think that not a lot of teams can win with a complete B-team against their division companions, so the problem is not that big.) * I think it would make the management of your team very complicated. You'd have to keep record of ALL your cyclist which races they already have scouted and which races they still need to scout and you'd have to arrange the appropriate day to scout those races... I can assure you that will be a complete chaos  |

It will be chaos allright but I think the differences for rich/poor teams of winning races will become smaller so that's a good thing. Also, chaos means that the best managers will make the most advantage and that's what the game is about, isn't it.
I like the idea very much, maybe if we think about it, adjust it a little so it is even better.

To avoid chaos you can limit the number of races you can scout. Or make a new submenu with your cyclists name and if you click on it, you can only see wich races they've scouted. In the same submenu also make a tab calendar with the races and there you can choose wich cyclist has to scout a race.
And to scout the whole TdF it will take long, but maybe ITT's aren't that important to scout, so that's 4 days more time you have.

If you take a look at the transfer list, more than half of the cyclists has got a serious steering/bravery problem. I guess everyone in this game has a skillfull cyclist that doesn't perform well because of his many falls or flats.
Now, I'm not complaining about this, because I think it's a wonderful feature. I don't want it to be trainable (or maybe veeeery veeeery slow). I even don't know if I like my own suggestion, but yeah well, here it is:
I guess cyclist now get a random number for steering and bravery if they are pulled/appointed to a team. Maybe it's cooler if you give the average steering/bravery numbers (let's say: 7-13) a higher probability.
Something like this:
0: 2% ---- 20: 2%
1: 3% ---- 19: 3%
2: 3% ---- 18: 3%
3: 4% ---- 17: 4%
4: 4% ---- 16: 4%
5: 5% ---- 15: 5%
6: 6% ---- 14: 6%
7: 6% ---- 13: 6%
8: 6% ---- 12: 6%
9: 7% ---- 11: 7%
10: 8%
That way there are a little bit more 'decent' cyclists.
Reasons not to do this:
* There are already enough good steering/bravery cyclists in the game.
* There would be too much good steering/bravery pulls. (Solution: only introduce this change if someone gets a new team. I'm a fan of that suggestion!)
* It would make the game boring: everyone gets the same cyclists...

Well, as a matter of fact, since most people scout cyclists within the range 14-16,5, they are - on average - already very valuable with regard to their skills. For me, the steering/bravery figures are then very important to determine if your cyclist is worth anything or not. Today, I did scout a 0 bravery for instance ... so, this was my bad luck 'pull'. And to be honnest, I really like it if this kind of cyclist come by so now and then, because the market is already flooded now. Your last argument (boring) is therefor (imho) the one which I would use to shoot your suggestion.  |

on the cyclist page, there used to be an empty line in between the cyclists. Since the update that line seems to have gone, so all the cyclists blend in together to make a giant page full of text, which makes it really difficult to find a particular cyclist. Could this be changed?

Is this still a problem? (I've fixed the faces)

Yes, the faces are fixed, but the empty line is still gone, it does indeed make it quite difficult to separate the cyclists.

I was thinking about the contracts.
Do you get a message when they expire? I mean: BEFORE they expire? If not: that should be the case.
I'd suggest a news message from your assistent when there's only one week te go. Otherwise a lot of managers will forget to renew those contracts.
If this is already the case: good job! ;D
