Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Quick question: does the show have some sort of player progression after the end of the season? Like 2k and madden have, so trading prospects actually benefits teams in the long run and not just being horrible wastes forever in the minors. Thanks!

Can't say for sure but The Show 11 did if I'm not completely mistaken

Simmons or Pastornicky is probably not happening, I can give you that - seems a bit far fetched when I think about. I like the idea of swapping Pennington for Vizcaino or Martinez though given how many young arms the Braves have in their system.

What would you suggest the Braves offering for Pennington if they were to trade for him?

No chance the Braves give up Vizcaino for Pennington....a couple of C prospects are more likely

Vizcaino is even more farfetched than Pastor/Simmons IMO, because he's our 3rd best prospect behind Teheran & Delgado. Martinez isn't going anywhere because other than being very top heavy, our bullpen isn't all that deep, so giving up a proven ML bullpen arm in Martinez probably isn't gonna happen.

On top of that I doubt the Braves would actually want Pennington. He's a career .258 hitter who will max out at 5-9 HR's with a .965 career fielding % at short. Those numbers are eerily similar to the career .266 BA and .977 fielding % we already have on the roster in Jack Wilson.

With that being said, I doubt the Braves give up much for something they already have, I'd say at most a C level prospect, maybe two if the A's sent something else like another prospect back our way. So maybe Jean Carlos Gil and/or Navery Moore.

Hey guys, first post to the site and new to the game (had xbox before)

I'm a bo sox fan but started a franchise with the royals cuz I thought it would be more fun than having a super talented team already. I love the royals prospects so with that being said here is some of the moves I made in spring training after loading Knights rosters.

I try to be somewhat fair in my trades, but don't try follow whether a team would actually do it in real life, its a video game after all imo. I don't remember exactly who I traded for everyone but will try my best to remember so you guys can have something to go from for your own teams.

My goal is to build a team with a bunch of young studs. Please give your thoughts or advice.

I got matt moore, desmond jennings, bj upton from the Rays for Broxton and Franceour and a B prospect (don't need broxton with soria, and personally don't like Jeff) Obviously this would never happen, 2 studs for not much)

Traded for Beachy for one of my younger pitching prospects (A rating) I refuse to give up Duffy or Montgomery

Stole a couple of the red sox prospects for some of the royals prospects (one's I havent heard of) Got Ranaudo, Swihart, and Iglesias

Got danny espinosa for a D rated pitching prospect (ridiculous yes, but they also turned down an A rated hitting prospect and a variety of other deals so who knows that they were thinking)

got mike trout for ranuado

got Mike stanton for trout, Escobar, and bj upton.

got jed lowrie for a c rated prospect

got JP arencibia, a b rated pitching prospect for the royals backup catcher and bruce chen

signed Magglio Ordonez as a 4th OF for some depth. Signed Francisco Cordero to bolster the bullpen.

Excited to get the season underway!

Oh and has anyone traded for Dee Gordon, they dodgers would not budge on him and wanted three of my best players for him.

When I start my Braves franchise he is my #1 target. I absolutely love watching him play (Dodgers fan as well) and want him on my team.

From what I have gathered reading around here, is that they did this because the AI seems to focus more on current rating than potential.

Whats a fair deal to get Ichiro?

Im using the Orioles and just fancy getting him as he seems fun to use.

However it seems the M's are desperate to get rid of him as I can offer any C rated RP and they accept. I dont want to fleece them like that so just wondering whats fair.

Im not bothered if getting Ichiro is realistic or not just whats a good deal for both teams.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Being a mets fan, I was dissapointed to see the mets trade jeff francouer (spelling?) away for no one. I was just looking at him for fun in some trades. I CAN OFFER ANYBODY IN MY ORGANIZATION FOR HIM AND THEY WOULD ACCEPT THE TRADE! Are you kidding? I look at a trade straight up: an f potential prospect for him, they would accept. Not going to trade for him unless Andres Torres really stops preforming and I'll move alex presley to cf and trade for him in right. Just highlighting this GREAT trade ai.

To be honest you kinda justified the trade AI. Just as the Mets IRL traded him away for nothing, you can just as well trade for him for nothing.

Is there any AI logic in the game that tries to shed big contracts?
