Re: Franchise trading.

You can only turn off cpu trading when you start your franchise

Yep. After you pick your team and hit start, the option comes up for your franchise. You can only choose cpu trades off here. It actual let you know you can only choose it there. If you hit start without changing it. You will not be able to change it afterwards. So, if you already started a franchise and didn't change it there. Sorry, but you're screwed.

Progressed 3 more weeks in franchise, and Pujols was now traded from the Phillies to Detroit for Prince. Matt Kemp was traded for Ryan Braun and Cole Hamels was traded for Tim Lincecum. I just don't understand it.

2013, 90 games into the season. Teams are literally unrecognizable now its ridiculous.

Re: Franchise trading.

Unfortunately this is why 30 Team Control must be on by using 2 profiles, and if you set it up right, it pretty much is like "Commissioner Mode" because you can set everything for AUTO on the 2nd profile, so the AI still does the contracts, training, etc. You just now have the option of scrolling through each team's "Pending Transactions" and approve or disapprove the trade based on how fair you think it is.

It's actually a quite simple process, and takes all but 1-2 minutes before each game to see if their is a trade offer on the table.

If you get the time, would you mind explaining it? I don't really understand the two profiles set up.

I wonder how the game would go in season mode.

Re: Franchise trading.

Hey guys, FWIW I simmed to just past the trade deadline in 2013 in SEASON mode and I'm just going to post the best players who have changed team.

Josh Johnson is a Yankee
Johan Santana is a Blue Jay
Andre Eithier is a White Sox
Andrew McCuthcen is a Pirate
Papelbon is a Phillie

Mostly everything else is status quo.

Go to the main menu and select option (4th icon over).

Go to user settings.

Create one for yourself (I use my name).

Go to the mode specific section and put every option that DOESN'T say RTTS to manual.

Next, create another profile for the rest of the teams you DON'T wish to control in your franchise (I named it computer).

Again, go to the mode specific section but this time change all the options to Auto.

Now create a franchise.

Under the Select User Teams menu, go to the team(s) you want to control.

Select the team(s) and use the right analog stick to choose your profile with the manual settings.

Then go through every other team you DON'T wish to control and use the second profile you created with the auto settings.

Next, make sure the Instant Trades option is off under the Mode Entry Options menu.

Now all you have to do is check the pending transactions under the transaction menu and you can accept/reject any trade.

Re: Franchise trading.

I've noticed a lot of trades too. One thing I did notice was the trades teams made would fit what they are trying to do; ie: win now, rebuilding, etc. But I don't think thats the problem, its the names being traded which is what the question is but there is no legit way to make a team favor player A or player B.

mccutchen is a pirate IRL and Papelbon is a Phillie IRL

bigger issue, isn't this related to every player (or most players I should say) having a 1 year contract. Hopefully the OSFM's fix this but SCEA should at least try and mimick the real contracts by correct years.

Hmm, I knew that about McCutchen. He must have been with someone else and I typed Pirates. Didn't know Papelbon was a Phillie.

Most players do have a 1 yr deal, which is then either renewed at the minimum and goes through arbitration yearly. Big name players tend to have long term deals but the majority of MLB run on 1 year deals, the game has it right in this respect.

Here are the trades ive seen so far.

Aroldis Chapman for Michael Choice (meh, stupid but maybe Cincy wanted the CF)

Zach Wheeler for Brett Anderson

Red Sox seem to have traded for Cespedes only to then trade him for Jimmy Rollins

Reds then trade Choice to Colorado for Cuddyer

Royals trade Mike Montgomery for Wandy Rodriguez (dumb trade, I mean really stupid)

Mouse tacos traded for David Wright

Yu Darvish for Roy Halladay (wtf?)

ATL trades Freeman and Delgado for Justin Moreneau

Yankees traded some minor leaguer for Torii Hunter

Brandon Belt for Carlos Pena

Alfonso Soriano for Travis d'Arnaud

Ichiro traded for some minor leaguer

I mean there were a lot of very good trades, but some very big head scratchers.

Re: Franchise trading.

Seeing these lists means im considering using 30 team control for the first time ever.

That said i might just live and let live, who knows, or simply keep trading off until at least halfway through the season.
