Re: Franchise Trade and off season logic has been massively improved

This is a very very late addition/change to MLB 11. Kolbe and Jeff Ulman one of our senior AI programmers went into the cave this past weekend and re-wrote a massive amount of code for trades and off-season logic for franchise mode.

Very interesting. Can you elaborate more? Is the cpu looking for something different now? What offseason adjustments have been made? Trades, FA signings, arbitration, renewing etc...?

Have the bugs from 10 been fleshed out? 2013 issues as well as not being able to trade until Jan. 1st?

Thanks again guys.

Awesome!!!! Hopefully no more Albert Pujols trades for a C-Ranked Shortstop!

Ramone, Thank everyone for all their hard work from all of us die hard franchise players here at OS! You guys really go above and beyond for all fans of The Show!

Re: Franchise Trade and off season logic has been massively improved

Hopefully its not too difficult... Realism is all fine and dandy but theres still the Vernon Wells trades of the world...

It has been extremely difficult - so a big "you better damn like it" damnit from Jeff and I to you!

Neither of us has slept more than 4 hours a day since Thursday when we started down this road. We still have a few kinks to work out but I'm really pumped about the improvements thus far.

Details... no, but I believe I'll allow RamOne to give you his impressions (He's playing with our changes today).

{edit} Let me make one fact clear... We did not do even 10% of what I want to do with Franchise... This is the best we can do with the time we have remaining. So dont go expecting Expansion mode or any other nutball idea {/edit}

And Ramone would like to say thank you for that......




In all seriousness Kolbe, thank you to both yourself and Jeff for your hard work. It truly is appreciated.

And in all seriousness Ramone, might wanna hop off meebo and turn off PM's.

Kolbe, thanks. Looking forward to seeing how it all works out.

What are the 2013 issues?

Re: Franchise Trade and off season logic has been massively improved

What are the 2013 issues?

Where no one gets signed in 2013 off-season due to no money being available to sign them because of high contracts

I'll just post a few things I come across them. One of the major changes is dumping old elite players for young studs. You all know exactly what I'm talking about from last year. You can no longer accomplish in an unfair manner like previous years. However you can still trade them for prospects but you won't be receiving anyone who has developed into a solid player yet. For example I'm a Rays fan we just signed Manny I have no use for him on my team and I want D.Jennings to get a shot. So I need to move Manny but I can't get anyone decent with him only prospects or players of similar caliber and age. For instance the Phillie's won't even take the trade of Manny for D.Brown seriously last year they take that trade.

That's awesome!

This just makes the wait even harder. I can't wait to get my hands on this game.
