MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

Re: MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

yeah this years franchise mode has some serious flaws and may be a deal breaker for some. However, from following these boards the devs are working on a fix and we will get a patch in the near future. It sucks that it shipped with these flaws but there is nothing any of us can do about it now except try use the workarounds. Maybe for those of you who cant wait til the patch comes out, trade in the show and get 2k10

Unless we get a clear answer on when the trade bug will be fixed, or even a decent way to ghetto rig it that doesn't involve spending hours simming 1 day at a time and checking pending transactions every time, this may be what I have to do.

The potential ratings I was ok with because at some point in time in the franchise the current players will retire and be replaced with the guys you draft (who hopefully have better potential ratings), but if I'm drafting these guys and the computer is turning around and trading them then I don't know what the franchise mode is even good for.

that may not be a big deal for those of you who apparantly play one or two seasons in franchise mode, but there is a reason they make the franchise mode more than 1 or 2 seasons long.

I'm not talking about playing every game, I'd play every game once I get 10-15 seasons into the franchise. if I was focused on the 1 season I would play season mode, not franchise. Having to sim 1 day at a time and checking the pending transactions every day for 10-15 seasons is rediculous.

its a workaround until the patch comes out. But it seems your mind is made up...so I'll stop with the workarounds.

And you won't get a definite answer on the patch for a few weeks at least in my opinion as they have to fix, test, and approve the patch before they give an ETA.

I was very happy that the developers were working on a fix so quickly. Something some developers would never dream of doing. I am waiting for the patch and hopefully it comes before opening day. I am feeling ripped off, and disappointed at the same time; they took something that was not broke, and broke it

LOL, if you can't wait why not go back to MLB09 still would be better than the other option you mentioned. Funny stuff!

its not a reasonable workaround, lets think harder here and maybe we can come up with something.

I don't think there is another one. The workarounds work, but are a pain to do. It's like having a leaking roof and having a bucket catching the drip, and you have to empty the bucket every hour so as to not have it overflow. There is no fix other than a patch.

Not reasonable? Think harder? LOL

Like I said, your mind is made up. Just go ahead and trade in the game and lets all move on.

ok, so you think what you are proposing is reasonable to do for 10-15 seasons? Please video tape you doing this and put it on youtube, after seeing that you did it I will use it.

Well so far....every time I've heard that YOUR team trades a player...it's been someone who use AUTO FIX for a lineup or rotation....or the DL.
I keep trying...and have only gotten trades like that if I used AUTO FIX.
I'm still testing though.

Now...onto the "crazy" trades particularly the Red Sox trading Lester, Beckett, Buc and Ortiz.
Here is what I did....I've only had a chance to try for two seasons and in both seasons...the Red Sox were in 1st(so never went into rebuilding mode as they might if they were in 3rd and out of it)..
I moved all the fake A and B potential players off the roster....and NONE of those guys got traded. They were even on the block. Granted...only twice I tried it....but maybe the game is seeing those A/B guys waiting in the wings and starts looking to cut payroll.
I need to have them start losing and see what happens then.
I'll try later.
I need a nap.

Like I said, its fine if you only use franchise to play a season or two.

Well that is not the case for me. Like I said, I turned injuries off and DID NOT AUTO FIX a single thing and they still traded away my players. As far as crazy trades I see those happening too (another flaw) but if at the very least it didn't involve me I might be able to ignore the computer trading Scott Kazmir and Brian Fuentes for A.J Nobody!!

Are you controlling all 30 teams?

I beleive Knight stated to control all 30 teams. one profile for your team, and 1 profile for all other 29 teams.

yeah the trade logic is poor, but im hoping the roster update on monday, with potential being fixed, will have quite an impact.
