Re: ***Offical MLB 10: The Show Patch Impression Thread***

AWESOME!

As for the "trades issue"... if having 100% "realistic" accurate trades are for you just set up your franchise to handle it that way. I look at it as my fantasy world... so if something happens that "MIGHT" not happen in real world so be it.
In any case you can set up the franchise to mimic exactly what the rel MLB does so thumbs up SCEA!

Here is my problem with the trade logic. They will have a team trade for a position they don't need. For example in the last sim I did I saw a Lance Berkman for Clayton Kershaw swap. That makes no sense, first of all the Dodgers wouldn't trade Kershaw and 2nd of all what are they going to do with Loney? Sit him on the bench?

That's my #1 issue with trades in this game. I don't have to have them mirror real life. I know they won't but I want them to make sense.

I can see your point there, the only other aspect that you could 'defend' the AI on with that is; I believe Berkman has a large expiring deal... that way the Dodgers get him for x games this year, then he is off their payroll, where as Kershaw could have a multi year deal that they dont fancy carrying.

Im just speculating, but thats the sort of things I also keep in mind when deals go down.. on the field it might not be ideal, but off it, that could be just what the team wants?

Haha, in a test sim, Boston also signed Manny in the off season. Some people are just slow learners.

I saw the Yankees trade AJ Burnett for Hideki Matsui when I was simming. I Lol'd.

Kershaw doesn't have a large deal IRL (he isn't even arb-eligible yet). However, the game may have him making significantly more??? May just be an oversight with Kershaw's contract in the game...that certainly wouldn't ruin the game for me though.

It is. Don't hit Select.

That sounds way too complicated. Isn't there any easier way?

If that's the case the deal would go down like this.

Loney, Kershaw, and a prospect for Berkman. You wouldn't trade for Berkman and keep Loney.

To make sure trades aren't wacky (and I agree those aren't very "smart" lol ) we can still set franchise up in a way to prevent the dumb trades though right? Conntrol 30 teams then when a "off the wall" trade happens we can go in and correct it...?

I'm sure there may have been games with a bit better trade logic but I don't think we'll ever have a game with perfect trade logic as there's just too much human factor you can't program in.

When we do get that in a game, 12 hours later they will become self aware and it won't matter anyways....

no you keep loney and when berkmans contract expires you essentially dumped kershaws huge salary to make a splash a different free agent.

Re: ***Offical MLB 10: The Show Patch Impression Thread***

There are some big trades, but it seems a player only gets dealt once and not over and over and over.

This. Since you can basically control any team, at any time.

I'm planning on only controlling "my team". However, if I see something that is out of whack (which I can justify most of the moves) then, I'll consider compensating the team that I feel got cheated. Like in the trade mentioned, I might add Loney with Krenshaw for Berkman (or something similar but first I factor in a the variables- like contact, age. potential, etc). However, with that being said, I don't see myself compensating other team too much.

That's not a bad idea, teams don't usually trade with each other until June at the earliest though so you could keep it on manual until then. I think you are going to notice a lot of trades start to pop up in May. I think that's a bit unrealistic, teams don't start trading that early.

I've got a question, I have instant trades off and since I've already started my franchise there is no way for me to fix it. If I want to go fix a trade I have to wait two days right? I can't just go fix a trade the same day can I?

Re: MLB '10: The Show Patch #2 is Available, Post Impressions Here

Does the computer claim players off waivers? I saw a post a few pages back that he has seen zero claims by the cpu. Also are players called up and sent down by their performance or is it still just due to injuries?

Re: MLB '10: The Show Patch #2 is Available, Post Impressions Here

I saw the Yankees trade AJ Burnett for Hideki Matsui when I was simming. I Lol'd.

Same deal as the others, Matsui has an expiring one-year contract, Burnett doesn't.
