I have a suggestion about something that is eye-catching, but is a minor problem.
I see many riders in peloton in with a length of 2m or higher, and there are pretty many cyclists with a length of 2m10. Not really realistic if you ask me, it could fit for a basketball game. I reckon that there (almost) aren't any cyclists longer than 2 m in real life in cycling..
Isn't it possible to adjust the possibility of being that long? Can't there be a random number of length between 1,60m and 2,00m with an average of 1,80m (a normal distribution/ gauss curve)?

Not a bod idea, but hey it's still a game. I guess it's a game with superlengthracers. ;D

I think it's a good point, especially if you want to improve the race engine to be more realistic, then 2.10m cyclists have a too great potential to act as wind catcher for other cyclists.

agree... range between 160 and 200 cm with less possibilities to be near 160 and 200 and more to be 180...

I dunno, this does not bother me much.
This is a game and not necessarily meant to be realistic.
For example, you can also say that there are no Romanian professionnal cyclists, so Romania shoud not have any cyclists in the game. Would that make sense? of course not!

Also, after checking a few real life riders, there are no riders around 160 cm, and a lot between 185 and 190.
So do we really want a distribution that would be so narrow? say between 175 and 195?
Again, I don't think so, imho.

Still, I could take a look at it, see if it can be improved a little bit  Same for the weight... |

I think having a few very tall riders and a few very light riders is interesting. Riders taller than 200cm or lighter than 60kg can be rare, but possible. Since tall riders get penalized by their weight and light riders by their height the game is not unbalanced by a few extreme hts/wts.
It would be interesting if IP can come up with a way to make the more extreme body types less common.

Ages every 16 weeks? Gets his finger stuck in the wheel during training and 10 days later races again? IT IS A GAME! YOU SET THE RULES IP! If you change wheight and length, your formules should be adapted too then? considering the advantages of being tall or short or heavy or skinny in the flat parts of a race or in the mountains... Are you going to shrink some racers and let others grow?  ;D |
