MLB 11 The Show: Franchise Trade and Off Season Logic Has Been Massively Improved

[treyraq]

Is the interest bar removed? Do more trades happen in July...than say May?

Thanks again great news!!

I don't know if you guys are referring to the interest bar in regards to me recently bringing it up...but I personally don't mind it when it comes to trades--I was referring to banishing it in regards to Free Agents.

By the way, counteroffers were another dream of mine. As are 3-way trades--I think they are a necessity.

So I decided to start another franchise to see if the Angels and Blue Jays trade would go through, I simmed to the offseason and went to the exact day the trade happened but it told me I couldn't trade Napoli because he didn't have a contract yet. I offered him arb but it would not let me include him until he agreed to a deal. Has this been fixed or did I do something wrong?

Also, will we be able to know how many high draft picks we got? For instance, Matsui and Fuentes were both type A FA in my franchise offseason and Shields was a type B. I offered them all arb but I got a message saying they are decided to sign elsewhere. I can't find any place where all my draft picks are. Will that be in 11?

SCEA (Russell),

Has anyone brought this up (perhaps there's still time for a quick solution)?

On the Team Rosters, and someone correct me if I'm wrong here, I know you can select to view the 25 or 40 man rosters (seperately), however if you are trying to trim your roster down to 25 or 40...you cannot SORT the entire organization roster by who's on the active or 40-man roster--you have to actually count the players as you scroll down the screen. And the League column (MLB/AAA/AA)and their roster designation (whether or not on the 25 or 40) column don't appear onscreen at the same time--you have to scroll right and left, back and forth, repeatedly--and I think it's confusing how 13 names fit on the screen at one time and it's hard/tedious to keep track of how many players you count.

Is there a way to make the entire roster SORTABLE by who's active/40-man/minors and get numbers (1., 2., 3., etc.) on the left hand side for a quick visual aid? Perhaps you can make it 10 or 15 names to a screen-frame rather than 13?

Does anyone get what I'm saying?

There's nothing to be fixed. In baseball, teams cannot trade a player who does not have a contract, except for those who were drafted in the amateur draft that year.

Teams can trade players who they have offered arbitration to even if they haven't signed yet, the arbitration numbers just carry over, so in the game that is incorrect.

I honestly did not read that in his post when I responded, that he had offered arbirtation.

If it is him trying to trade after the World Series and before January 1st of the new year, then it is the "bug" that does not allow you to trade until the following year. (seems like the game still thinks you are still in the world series week)

It was brought to their attention when we were there.

If it is after January first, then this will have to made note of.

You can't see the draft order(it's not in '11)....but I guess there should be a draft order screen somewhere...but you do get the draft picks and can see the order and your extra picks when the draft starts(I'm not sure about the sandwich picks though...if you see them on the board or not)

I've made it all the way to 2015 in a couple of the simulations and everything looks pretty good.

Hey Russ have you paid attention to the retirements? Are players still retiring with 3 or 4 years left on their contracts?

See if you can replicate and fix the 2031 "Glitch" please......





Just play'n... Thanks for the work!

Nice to see SCEA so dedicated. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but the only thing holding me back from getting this game is still the fact that during franchise mode, the AI never calls up/sends down players due to performance, only injuries.

Any chance this has been fixed or can be with a patch? It seems to work with the RRTS mode at least for your player, but obviously it's not identical to franchise.

I'd really love to hear info on this from peeps in the know...

Or should I say, peeps in the show! ;-)

They won't be doing that via a patch.
Most likely...next year when franchise gets its updates.

Idk if this has been answered yet but in franchise do players have preferences of where they would want to play when there FA and not just pick the best contract offer ( How Cliff lee spurned the rangers n yankees)and accepted the Phillies offer which was less money and years

Re: MLB 11 The Show: Franchise Trade and Off Season Logic Has Been Massively Improved

They did that last year so I assume its the same this time around.
