new implementations

[gelies]

ok now that the game is back online andsafe, and now that economy and trainer had somehow been fixed(in a good why imho!) what would you like to see implemented next?

please motivate. the more we are the more IP will take this poll seriously!

[Adrimir]

What a good poll, gelies!
I'd very like to see implemented in order....

1) Some special tactics and improve the importance of the "peloton"
2) Live race to see in real time our races and follow our cyclists!
3) National Team ^___^

[gelies]

my vote is for live...
the best way to keep people tuned on the game!

1) more tactics
-> If somehow it would be possible due to great teamwork and tactics a less good cyclist would be able to beat several better ones, this game would become really huge.

2) more races on the calendar
-> Especially races in which you can't gain much money or points, in which you can also enter your less good cyclists.

3) global ranking
-> All cyclists in one big ranking would be a nice feature.

4) restricted races
-> Most probable would be youth categories (18y->20y / 21y->23y). But other restrictions could be applied as well, such as ranked lower than place X. Or only with a wage below X (cyclists with higher wage would be considered too costly).

5) race reports
-> Automatic reports of course. As it would be too much work if one person would have to do this all manually.

6) national teams
-> National teams would be a nice addition as well, but it's not too high on my list of demand.

...

1000) live races
-> Guess this could be difficult to implement. And it will probably have to be quite basic. You also would have to take care about server load.

As I just wrote in THIS TOPIC, some skill additions would be nice as well.

[sgnappi]

national team would be very nice...

One extra hidden skill could be useful as well : Form of the day.
A random form changing daily for each cyclist. To add a little more randomness.

Team tactics are essential to cyclism, but it"s not yet in the game. This would bring the game to a next level.

Live race and new team tactic..
the first really important to see the grown of our cyclist..
the second one to decide what cyclist must be leader in mountain, who in flat and so on...

I think live races and new tactics are very important in order to make grow Peloton, but these are changes rather difficult to implement. National teams are quite easy to do and would give new options for every trainer. Anyway I find very interesting the proposal about introducing restricted races for young cyclists.
Peloton need important changes, not only in the financial part. I hope Il Padrino will do them as soon as possible.

Well, just like every online game, Peloton is always evolving and striving to be the best. The game has been launched for a year now and if you compare the current version with the start version, some hugh improvements have already been made.
But I understand that there will always be need for change and that's why we are constantly searching for improvements.

Live races and race reports, for instance, is already from the beginning on the to-do-list and will be implemented someday (and we already have a quite good vision on what it will look like and how to implement it) but other things had to be tackled first (the economical change, announced a few days ago, is a very good example of this)

Divisional, national, international and world championship races are also something which will be introduced but the game has to grow a little more for all of this.

Team tactics is a very nice but hard-to-crack feature, since it may require some drastic engine changes, but eventually it will be there, no doubt about it.

To make a point here, we are thinking and discussing about how the game should evolve every day and as always, the community has a very important role to play in this, so I like to see topic like these where managers express their wishes ...

Fo my opinion the game need more tattics.
Some time ago I heard that one of the first modify will be"Under 21" classification...somebody know when can be introducted this classification?

I also think that there are so much falls in the race.
In a real cycling season one cyclist can fall 2 or 3 times every year, but not 2 or 3 times every 15 days! I don't want a parameter from 1 to 20 on steering, I think that the falls are only done by unluck and only a minimum % by steering.
In real cycling this year Paolo Bettini falls a lot of times, but if He can be in this game, I think He must have 20 on steering!!! He has been only unluckly

p.s. sorry for my bad english ;D

[Il Padrino]

The under 21 classification is already there, but in the past tours this season it wasn't possible to display this visually in the tour standings. In the upcoming tours, you will be able to see the standings, though.

get some money at U-21 Tours
for example if sprinters jersey pays 100,000, U-21 could pay 75,000

and could add ONE more cyclist if the trainer want, but this cyclist MUST BE U-21, have 5 places for any age and ONE special palce for U-21 cyclist

and improve the team training..i think that 25 "possible cyclists training" is very low..i think that 27~30 cyclist is enough

There is already enough money flowing into the game (just watch the crazy transferprices)

That's the beauty of the U21 : as a manager you must decide to give up one (or more) of the 5 spots to put a U21 or not. Go for money or for points.
Adding an extra spot will allow everyone to enter a U21, taking away the dilemma

and improve the team training..i think that 25 "possible cyclists training" is very low..i think that 27~30 cyclist is enough

But you CAN train 27 to 30 cyclists !!
