I agree. The athletes who do better on the season should get more priority on training in the off-season. I think some athletes should train in the middle of the season too, like the player can.

I want to say thank you again for this amazing game. I have just a few new ideas for it.
1. Athletes: Karoline Erdal, Gro Randby, Camile Bened, Olena Horodna, Anna Andexer, Tamara Steiner, Isak Frey, Patrick Jakub, Daniele Cappellari, and Blagoy Todev.
2. Careers: I would like to see broadcast mode in careers. At the end of the season, you could choose to do another season, where you can choose new tracks and new races, create new athletes, and change athlete's stats manually.
Careers (& Tournaments) Part 2: Be able to have more than one relay in a stage. (IRL Mixed relays and Single Mixed relays are on the same day.)
3. In careers, athletes should move leagues every time they switch venues based on how well they did in the last stage. (Consider this addition if we have more than 42 racers for each league.)
4. World Cup Start Spots: There should be more variability of countries in the World Cup. Teams like Norway, Germany, and France take up more slots in the World Cup than they should. IRL it's more balanced; each team has a certain amount of start slots.
5. Single Mixed Relay: IRL, athletes tag off to their teammate right after their standing shoot. If possible, I'd like to see this in the game.
I also would love to see more athletes in races (60 in the sprint and individual and 30 in the pursuit and mass start.) I guess since there wouldn't be enough athletes to even fill in the IBU cup in the career, it won't work that well. You'd have to create athletes or select full 4 leagues for careers.
Hi,
One thing more thing,
The stats of all the athletes after the 2023-24 season was over were changed to match the performance of the athlete from that season, but then we couldn't access the 2022-23 stats. A feature where you could choose which year you want the athlete's stats to match would be cool. This would mean for careers that you could have a career that is more similar to real life than just having the athletes upgrade/downgrade stats normally, and at the end of a season, you could choose if you want to have the athlete's real stats from a particular season, or change the stats from training regularly.
First, I want to say I absolutely love this game, and I know it takes time to make updates. I appreciate everything you did to make this game. I just have a few things I'd love to see in the future!
1. Something I find a bit annoying is that I have to delete a created athlete to change their face, and if I do that it messes up the career. It would be nice to be able to change an athletes face that you've made after it's created.
2. Can you make the parameter "shooting speed" more spaced out. IRL, athletes can gain a lot of time by shooting fast, and in the game, you can only gain about 1 or 2 seconds max. This would definitely make shooting faster more important.
3. Can you also add bot photo finishes? Maybe you could click on a name in the standings and you'd be able to see their photo finish.
4. In real life there are a lot of relay teams even in the men's and women's relay. In the game, I sometimes only have like 5 or 6 teams; in the next update, could you add a whole bunch of athletes from minor countries and also more athletes for lower cups such as Tamara Steiner, Lea Rothschopf, Maya Cloetens, Valentina Dimitrova, Lora Hristova, Maria Zdravkova, Benita Peiffer, Susan Kuelm, Noora K. Keranen, Sonja Leinamo, Johanna Puff, Hannah Auchentaller, Beatrice Trabucchi, Karoline Erdal, Natalia Sidorowicz, Anastasia Tolmacheva, Emma Kapustova, Maria and Zuzanna Remenova, Lea Meier, Khrystina Dmytrenko, and Kelsey Dickinson for the women.
And for the men: Tomas Mikyska, Kristo Siimer, Danilo Riethmueller, Patrick Braunhofer, Renars Birkentals, Maksim Makarov, Johan O. Botn, George Coltea and Viktor Brandt.
5. I would like to be able to look back on the ending scores for a previous career season, (transfer the data from the "Total Score" and "Results" section of the season to the season summary), and also to add prone and standing accuracy separately in the summary.
6. New tracks for IBU competitions such as Arber, Idre Fjaell, Sjusjoen, Ridnaun, Brezno, and Jakuszyce would be appreciated.
7. I would also like something along the lines of slip-stream. For example, if you're directly behind an athlete, you lose a lot less energy.
8. I loved the animations you did for the start of the races for beta 6.1. Another thing to possibly add is for the beginning of the races, you could have the cameraman go to the top starters and have the athletes wave. I would also like to see an extension of the podium cutscene if it's possible; maybe have an announcer calling up each athlete. Discipline globe ceremonies as well as relay podiums would be appreciated. Also, medals for the top three instead of flowers in the World Championship and Olympics.
9. I think this would add a lot but is only a small innovation is an athlete's height It could affect the look of the athlete and possibly how the targets appear when they shoot! Another small innovation that could add to the game is left-handed athletes.
10. When biathletes are competing in a venue from the country they represent, the skiing parameters should all be pumped up a little and the rifle should fluctuate slightly more during shooting (showing nerves in front of home crowd.) I also think the fans should cheer for their athletes too, instead of just for me.
11. When a biathlete tucks on the downhill, you could add the little foot movements they do so it looks more natural when the athlete changes direction.
Thank you! (Don't know if you have any of this planned for upcoming updates!)
