Does anyone knows how the Riders Salary works. I have a 24 Years old rider with avg 77 and with better stats than Klöden or Menchov but the half of salary. I increase his salary to 60.000 beacuse it was to low IMO and to make it difficult to have such an rider even for me, but then when I was negotiating to renew his contract he only wanted 27500. He is way better than a lot of other riders but he only wants a very low salary, in 1 year he will have better stats than evans and will only have a salary of 27500????? I cant understand how this salary thing works.
I think it has something to do with the riders reputation, and then I have a feeling that the major salary bumps happen in relation to transfers rather than extensions.
The morale probably has something to say as well...
The game has not a very realistic budget and management system.
Personally I edit the contracts of all my riders to make it more realistic and then set the sponsor payments accordingly.
I did that too, the problem is when u have to renew the contract. If I set his salary on 60.000 it doesent make any effect in the value that he wants. I had riders with a salary edited by me and when they leave the team, they sign with another team for the half of the salary I was paying them. Thats really unrealistic.
I think after a 8 years career there are no longer riders with the avg from Contador winning the same salary he is winning at the beginning. Its a shame because editing all the salaries is too much work. Another triumph from Cyanide Edited by fickman on 17-12-2012 00:28
