i think i read somewhere that the new db had a new fatigue system built into it. can any one explain how it now works or am i just making stuff up again?
'New fatigue system' may be too exaggerating, but the pointi s that the riders build up fatigue more slowly than in the original game, thus making them able to do more races than usually.
thanks crue. so it's gonna be less likely that my team will finish a 7 stage race with on 2 or 3 riders like my milram team often did
i always thought they built up fatigue to quickly. does it count for training fatigue or just in race fatigue? i think on the old db that riders maxed out to quickly in training fatigue. I had 4 or 5 riders in the red before the Giro had even started.
does this affect the '60 day limit'? i.e. will they still have their maximum training fitness reduced once they go over 60 days, or has this been increased to, say, 80?
I got the idea from Mercury, a Danish member, He mentioned that Cyanide has changed the fatigue points for PCM08, meaning that riders now can get 7.000 fatigue points (6.000 for PCM07) before the riders start dropping in fitness - but the fatigue graphic bar hasn't been changed.
Anyway, what's been changed is when fatigue is generated. And with the changes, it means:
When the form / fitness is between 48 and 56, 0 fatigue is generated
Same for form between 56-64, and 64-68. Fatigue starts being 'generated' when the form is between 68-72.
You can go have a look in STA_fitness_interval. It'll probably make more sense than what I tried to say above
In addition, rider lose the fatigue much faster than in previous PCM versions. I rode the classics and Giro with Cunego in Top-Form. After Giro his fatigue was so high that his max training fitness began to lower. I made his training programm completely to zero and in early autumn his fatigue was nearly down to zero which made it possible to ride the Giro di Lombardia with him in Top Form
