Update: Dynamic Driver & Pit Crew Atrophy

How do you train 22 times per day?

22 training sessions per day? Someone who has a lot of coins in their hands. Most managers are not one of them. Again, this is not a well-thought-out change. 

Appreciated change but 22 trainings a day is quite utopic. With daily races you can train a maximum of 10 times I think (to have drivers at 100% health for the next race)

Actually, in daily races you can gain even less:

After a race your driver has around 75% health, which need to be rounded to 70%. 

Right now there is a bug where your drivers lose 11 health points instead of 10 with a 5 star doctor.

The total health you can use on training can be calculated as follows:

70% (after the race) + 5% health points/h * 4 hours, which equals 90% total health.

90/11=8,182 

So, right now, you can train only 8 times before the next race. Without the 11 points subtraction bug it would be 9 times…

To reach 8 times you have to log in right after the race, remember to fix the simulator building, train the drivers, wait a few hours and then train again. Not everyone will manage to do so.

The pit crew can get more training though. They don’t lose health after a race, so they will start training with 100% health and they don’t have the 11 points per training bug. They only lose 10 points. So doing the maths:

100% + 5%*4 = 120%

120/10=12 

So the pit crew can be trainend 12 times before the next race.





“Young drivers will manage to gain 20% worth of stats in a season”. What does “young” mean? Just 18 years old drivers? How much slower will it be for older drivers? At the moment training drivers which are 24 y/o is pretty slow. I’m not sure 10% is possibile for them.

The 20% you talked about should apply to drivers who are 30 years old. As many said after adding atrophy, it doesn’t make any sense to have any atrophy at all on young drivers.

Honestly, all these aspects just make you lose the desire to play and to invest time (and therefore money) in it. IGP is a different kind of game, based on race strategies — not a management game focused on running a team.

edit: Maybe I misunderstood how it works. I Hope! 😊

Jack is a bad game designer. He continues to add broken stuff to this game without thinking how new mechanics will break the existing ones.

It's time to fix the bugs in this game. I will quit the game when I will be able to do my first race in holland (free to play leagues have still to debut there).

Before leaving the game make a long thread where I will list what is broken, which mechanics are silly/non sense and which (lost) aspects were making this game better than others.

the same concept using different words.

If you design killing stability then it's a bad design.

EDIT: the post above has been deleted, why? Jack remains a bad game designer even if incoherent deleted opinions say it's not despite being his work badly designed.

Next up needs to be a big old look at the staff wages structure. Absolutely nothing to be gained from using the Headquarters for staff anymore. Get 20 races at £300k/race and then ooof, big jump to £1.2m/race. What happened to the gradual increase? Getting absolutely rinsed by wages at the mo when I'd reached a nice stage of sustainability before. Got about two seasons left before I'll need to stop racing

Make your own game if you dislike it that much 🙂

I could but before leaving I will explain what is going in the wrong direction for those like you who prefer new bugs, senseless game mechanics and fixes which are worse than what they were supposed to patch. All of this, hoping you won't follow me.

I’m glad you will explain everything. I’m sure Jack and everybody else are not aware so it’s a good job you’re choosing to do this completely free of charge - such a nice gesture!
