Still, if you consider the salary system, it seems awfully weird. Because you cannot negotiate anything during the end of seasons, you are stuck to your original budget if your sponsor is committed until 2016 or so. But this budget, even when selecting easy for extra money, doesn't take into account the staff you need. And that's most likely the worst of the system, because you will still lose lots of money that way, every month!. Your expenses may need some control, but your sponsor should at least have some possibilities to increase your budget if your results are okay and you want to improve the quality of your team (both riders and staff).
Oh and by the way, the budget of, at least, the Rabobank team is not even close to the real world. You are assigned 5.4 million per year, but the true budget (okay, including the Continental Team for young riders) is about 12-15 million every year! So there's a very big gap, that doesn't make sense, I think.
Improving the management part of the game. That's what we want to see, instead of better graphics that are only available for 'super'computers...
