    Things you may want to ask for.

    1. Can you add sortable columns to the ‘Rankings’ page so you can click on the Rider ‘Value’ column and have the list sorted by rider value instead of its current sort by points scored?

    120 credits is a really tight budget for the Womens race…. Fancy Dion Smith for the U23’s race.
    Love to see looser budgets next year and the U23’s have their own race… 🙂

    Dave, would you consider
    Dave, would you consider having a box showing how many transfers you have left for the competition on the ‘My Team’ page so we don’t always have to go to the ‘Make Transfers’ tab to check?…

    Please may I cordially request that the generic jerseys for minor teams are made a bit more colourful? I can’t tell whether they are in the race or greyed-out. Thank you.

    ouch… not much of that (!) happening in Romandie… 😐 I’m back to a team with 4 ‘stars’ and 5 3.0 or so riders for this race… 🙁 What a difference from the team we could pick for the Trentino TTT… I guess the difference is the field for Romandie truly is world class and that means lots of high value riders… 😕 Hmmm… I think I meant to post this on the Romandie thread, not here..

    Dave, just noticed the “Riders in this comp” “All riders” buttons on the ‘Rankings’ page… Nice! 🙂 How about two more for “Points Current Competition” and “Points Last 12 months”? :)
    Dave, with a whole lot of us contemplating wholesale chnages to our team and trying to fit in a different set of “fillers” for the Ardennes, it reallly would be nice to see all rider values as opposed to just the ones that are riding just the next stage (in this case Brabantse Pijl). 🙂

    Could we have the http://fantasy.road.cc/riders page do that for us, like it used to?… 😕 This may be the only competition where we have changing start lists for each stage, of course, but I always thought it was pretty neat to see all rider values, and their total points for the year, at will anyawys. Thank you! 🙂

    … Could we have a sort for riders on the Team Selection page next year based on their total score for the running competition?…
    I also thought this was another idea worth considering. It’d be nice to be able to sort, once a competition has started, on the amount of points the rider has within a competition. 🙂

    It’s always been a strange quirk of the game that there isn’t a ‘reset button’… It adds to the fascination of the game that you have to live by the maxim ‘Think before you click’, I guess 😕 … but I’ve always loved the option of resetting your team, as you can see below… 😕

    It’s an old topic, of course, but one very dear to my heart! 🙂

    Have a team reset button when doing transfers – Basically be able to reset my own transfers if I realise I’ve messed up.

    enrique wrote:
    Yes, please! Or! Being able to make all the changes I want to my team and have transfers charged only at the end of a transfer deadline! :)…

    It’s a strange thing, amusing, but cruel, to see folks mess up their teams and have no way to fix it…

    .
    This could happen at any point during the year, but I wonder if it would also make more sense next year, as an option, just for the Classics, to have a really high number of transfers, 64, or 72, which would be 6 transfers between each race… or maybe unlimted?… and that way you’d have a way to mess up and not feel the hurt… 😐

    It’s painful to watch as it is, but also entertaining to observe, in a sad liitle way… :”( I cry sometimes… :”(

    Regardless, this will always be true…

    The values have been a bit strange, for instance Marini and McLay are 20 ish and Mareczko is 3. They are pretty similar in talent and results.

    the engine can only count results that have been part of a competition in the game though, so there’s always going to be discrepancies. to exploit, i might add.

    It’s very difficult to get
    It’s very difficult to get the team prize for 9 riders when we only have 8 :))

    It is also a very different game with the ‘SKODA’ transfers and I’m still getting used to it, and it is actually much harder. I like it though.

    we’ll be having prizes for the bigger races still, but there were a lot of issues with the prizes and we didn’t feel we could commit to a prize for every stage of every competition. that being said, i’m going to look at reinstating (and backdating) at least a winner’s prize for everything. so you could be in luck 😉


    Wooooo!

    I guess the query counted the riders on both Purist and Standard teams and calculated a percentage from all teams entered?… 😕 I’d settle for just a count of riders and not a percentage, if that’s implementable…

    Ummm… Just for the record… You amaze me, Dave… 😉

    just a quick note to say that
    just a quick note to say that the game engine has changed a fair bit this year, but we’ll be using this game engine for 2016 too. so there won’t be masses of changes and things will settle down a bit.

    looking at suggestions:

    We must tweak the rider value algorithm

    we’re always looking at it, and there’s a bunch of variables we can use to tweak it on the fly. maybe we’ll try a quicker fall-off in value for an upcoming race to see how it affects the dynamic

    I really miss the penalty transfers

    They’re not coming back though, at least not this year

    When clicking on a riders name in the selection, we get to see what scores they recently got, and what date, but no longer what type of stage it was. Which used to be a good help

    I’ll see about a fix for that

    I think we should go back to 9 man teams again

    Grand tours will be 9-man teams

    Having a running total for certain badges over the season, such as Top 10 stage finish, and Top 20 Tour Finish etc. To give an indicator how you have done over a season

    it’s probably something we could add to the home page, i’ll have a think about how that might work

    Also miss the prizes from last year

    we’ll be having prizes for the bigger races still, but there were a lot of issues with the prizes and we didn’t feel we could commit to a prize for every stage of every competition. that being said, i’m going to look at reinstating (and backdating) at least a winner’s prize for everything. so you could be in luck 😉

    I miss the rider stats that said how many teams had a particular rider on their team

    you might miss them, but they never actually worked properly 😉

    I have an issue with the algorithm for working out points for new riders, specifically those who have a few races under their belts

    going to look at this too as part of the general look at values

    I guess I’m just lazy and don’t want to click 1 time to get to the competition and then another to select the riders

    yup, you’re just lazy.

    I remember that… the 2011 Vuelta… I came in 119th at that competition… My first spreadsheet for the game… In fact, you’ll see a screenshot of the team I think I had for a mountain stage below… I became addicted after that… :W It was so cool to see your budget inch up ’cause your rider values had appreciated! =D> Hugely unfair for the uninitiated, despairing when your budget went down, nerve wracking, but ultimately intensely engaging! Wow! 🙂

    4…. the prizes…

    … I like.
    … the new bonus comps… Overall still the best game out there! …

    Nice list, flippy… I echo your sentiments…
