Wasn't there a very similar problem last year? I never seem to get as far in a franchise as I plan but it sure sounds similar. I really don't understand this with any sports game. It would be very simple for someone at Sony (or 2K or EA...insert developer name here) to sim 20 seasons and check for things like this during each offseason. Couldn't take much time in the overall scheme of things. I mean if Halladay is sitting in FA or Pujols is being signed for 5 mil, they could look at the code and see why it was happening. It really makes me think that a deep, detailed, accurate franchise mode isn't nearly as important to these companies as making the games "pretty."
Don't get me wrong....MLB '11 plays a great game of baseball. I enjoy it very much. I just wish that these companies paid more attention to franchise issues during development. Something like this happens with almost every title any more.
