I thought the trade logic was fixed?

Re: I thought the trade logic was fixed?

They have Jackey Bradley Jr. It still stands out the sox traded their best pitcher for a prospect, thought that wasn't going to happen anymore.

I guess not.

WTF do you even follow baseball? Teams trade their best players when they still have value all the time for top prospects.....happens every year, and you dont want it to happen? ROFL.

If you guys are expecting 100% realistic trade logic ina video game, you will be waiting for eternity, this is incredibly hard to replicate in a game, seriously it's a game.

Re: I thought the trade logic was fixed?

All I know is 6 years into a Franchise, no team in the league (other than me, who stays way under budget) has enough budget space to do anything. And virtually all of my trades are rejected, nothing ever "fits our strategy". Even when the ratings are comparable. Then the CPU turns around and asks me for my 86 rated RP in exchange for a 67 rated 29 year old?

I understand that the trade logic will have flaws. But the budgeting is still a huge issue for the game.

In 6 years, no one has offered me a trade deal for a player I've placed on the trade block.

That's interesting to hear about the budget being an issue. I remember early on a lot of people were saying the budgets became so large for every team that you had teams that were usually small-market teams signing and trading for superstars they couldn't afford in real life.

What rosters are you using? I have tested with many types of rosters. I feel budgets are much better. There will be teams that spend every last dollar, but most teams have 6-25 million available.

When are you proposing these trades. July 1st is when team strategies change. A playoff push team is looking to add and a rebuild team will dump vets.

Many times in trading the cpu tends to want more than they are giving up. Ratings are also subjective to the position. An 87 shortstop is worth more than an 87 first baseman. contracts in the game reflect that.

I just simmed to spring training of 2020 using osfm v 2. Here is the available budget room per team.
Bal 9.41. Chiw. 1.71. Ana 19.19
Bos 41.71. Cle. -1.34. Oak. -11.92
Nyy 62.36. Det. 52.94. Sea. 26.07
Tb 1.01. Kc. 12.06. Tex. 15.26
Tor -6.31. Min. 14.38. Hou. 9.66


Atl -8.72. Chi. 7.08. Ari 5.21
Mia 17.13. Cin. -1.69. Col -3.45
Was -7.57. Mil. -11.52. Lad 97.13
Nym 3.89. Pit. .64. Sd. 10.57
Phi. -5.96. Stl. 11.61. Sf. 24.65

I think big teams should spend more money, but I don't think budgets are the issue in regards to trades. I do agree RP are too heavily valued, what bothers me the most is players being traded 3-4 times a season.

Re: I thought the trade logic was fixed?

For anyone wondering if the trade logic is broken or not, the Astros just trades Scott Feldman and Matt Albers for Byron Buxton and Miguel Sano.

The trade logic is still very much broken. Thank goodness for 30-team control.

Re: I thought the trade logic was fixed?

Is there anyway to turn on 30 team control or disable trades after the franchise is already started?

Re: I thought the trade logic was fixed?

Joe Mauer was traded in my franchise as well.

Twins Get:

SP Jameson Taillon (Top 50 Prospect) Age: 22 Potential: A Overall: 79
SP Tyler Glasnow Age: 20 Potential: A Overall: 64

Pirates Get:

1B Joe Mauer

Re: I thought the trade logic was fixed?

At least I haven't seen Miguel Cabrera traded for Colby Rasmus

I offered Caleb Gindl for Matt Holliday. I also didn't know that it would AUTOMATICALLY be accepted if they agreed. I thought I would have the option to back out of the trade.

Needless to say, Holliday now starts for the Brewers.

Re: I thought the trade logic was fixed?

I'm using the rosters that came with the game, so maybe that's the problem lol

I didn't realize that about the Team Strategy. I'll keep better track of that. How do you check the budgets of other teams?

And I agree, the CPU just seems hellbent on G'ing you.

The default rosters should be the same if not better in regards to budgets.

You need 30 team control To see everyone's budget...just cycle teams and hit square.

Re: I thought the trade logic was fixed?

To be honest, I don't know. Same for Lester. He is 30 years old making what 14 million in game in the last year of his contract. There are a lot trades that seem fishy, but it is what it is.

I completely get why people upset, because I am in my Oriole Franchise and 3 weeks into the season I see lots of guys (like Lester 0-3 6.56 ERA) on the trade block. That bothers me, but these CPU GMs aren't stuck having to deal with things like fan outrage, and loyalty so you will see more of these type trades, again I am not justifying them, but a video game AI isn't a GM. It is what it is, but like I mentioned earlier I turn trades off until July 15th sometimes July 10th, but then that only gives the CPU 16 days to make deals. Seems to work for me.

The red sox traded Lester for a prospect, I understand why they did that (went into the standings and they were indeed in last place) but then a couple weeks into the next season they trade that same top prospect for Doug Fister. How does that make sense?

WTF do you even follow baseball? Teams trade their best players when they still have value all the time for top prospects.....happens every year, and you dont want it to happen? ROFL.

so why did the red sox then the next year trade him for Doug Fister?

Answer me that

They need to give us an option of deny any trades by the CPU in RTTS or franchise mode. That would fix 90% of these issues.

They do in franchise. Its called 30 team control.

But if you do 30 team control don't you have to offer the CPU trades? Do they make them own their own?

And I am playing RTTS right now and that is something you can't do in that mode.

Re: I thought the trade logic was fixed?

Answer me that

Maybe he was a bad clubhouse guy or slept with the manager's wife.

Gotta roleplay at least some of this stuff, dude.

Re: I thought the trade logic was fixed?

This thread only re-inforces my decision not to turn trades on until a month before the deadline...
