Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

I can see that they touched up on it and worked on it. There was no time that I saw a "star" player in his prime traded. I also think they lowered the amount that cpu teams value potential and made it a more even weighting between potential and OVL. Last year you would see a super low rated A potential player traded for a good player.

There are some things now that the cpu looks for in building its team(The Team Strategies) That I am sure they are going to hit on in the blog.

One area of the trade logic I think is a little off is I still think RP are value a little high.

But trading is subjective, would OS complain about the Red Sox-Dodgers, or Blue Jays-Marlins trades and say it was unrealistic.

And as far as exploiting the logic, every software program and video game can be exploited. The NBA 2k players always exploit draft picks in traded etc. I guess the key is to put house rules on trades for yourself.

Yeah you're right, we are all used to house rules from the past. I can always control my moves, but I cannot control the CPU (of course there is 30 team control, but that's just another party solution.)

Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

Another question about trades. Has there been any talk of why the trades haven't been expanded yet? I've read some posts, but I'd still love to see them in at some point. Even if it did mess up rosters, I'd accept the game manually releasing players or sending them down to single A to facilitate such a thing.

As it is now these blockbuster deals can't be done in the game, not without turning force trades on and doing multiple trades. Not a huge deal, but it would be cool to trade a player like Matt Cain in the last year of his deal for a bunch of prospects. Or trade for Matt Cain. I always play with force trades on since I don't like the logic the game uses I'm hoping this year I can just let it be, but what tabarnes wrote makes me feel I'll do the same this year.

You're saying you couldn't trade Matt Cain to a team with budget room and a number of prospects that was in the running in the past?
or vice versa?

That would be the easiest trade in the game I would say.

I think he wants more than three players in return...

When I say bunch I mean getting 5-6 prospects for 2 players at once.

For example trading Matt Cain and Lincecum to the Rangers for 6-7 prospects in one trade.

Both ways as well. I'd just like the ability to do a large trade.

Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

You could do that, it was just a hassle.

Trade one:

Cain for prospect A + B

Trade two: Random scrub for prospect C

This is, of course, playing with 30 team control on.

Yeah, that is true. A lot of things need 30 team control, but I don't like to play like that. I just don't think that is a good solution. I don't like to force trades either, but its necessary sometimes to get things right.

Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

I just turned off CPU trades and used force trades for 12. I'd just post in the trade thread asking for advice.

Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

Any chance that there are players who didn't play in 2012, guys like Vlad, Miguel Tejada, Brandon Webb, even lesser ones like Eugenio Velez, who in some form are still trying to play are in game as editable players with correct stat just not correct names.

I have used forced trades in the past (using the scrub players you mentioned) to get around the inability to migrate franchises. This allows me to reassemble the previous year's team. Trouble is, once you start a franchise, you can't go back and turn forced trades off. So you can't make trades with the CPU. Until they get franchise migration into The Show, I wish there was a way to go back and turn forced trades off.

Not this year....but I wish someone would have mentioned it pre-CD day...
It might be possible as a toggle on/off.

I can still ask Aaron about it at the very least.

Exactly. A toggle would be a fix until they get migration incorporated. Sorry this was not mentioned before, but I appreciate your checking into it. Maybe they can still squeeze it in.

The game is checked in.
...and I don't know if this is something that can be or would be considered to be patched in as if it causes a bug...yikes!(testing at this stage is iffy and with last years patch problem....I'm sure they are cautious)

Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

Are game times in correctly or will we have to wait for patch?
