Trade Logic?

Re: Trade Logic?

But you basically have to look each day right so you don't miss a trade out there?

Is it like that?

Trust me on this; you'll be glad you did. Do 30 team control when you run your real franchise.

Do you have to check every day? Technically, if you want to catch every trade, yes. But I usually just turn off auto-save, that way if I accidentally miss a pending trade while simming, I can just go back to an old save. Just be careful about keeping updated saves.

It takes extra work, but in the end it is sooooooo worth it. 30 team control is the equivalent of "commissioner mode."

Re: Trade Logic?

every trade, signing, release, DFA...etc. is possible in the game of baseball and specially in MLB...so to think that Halladay to the twins, or Bautista to the cubs is unrealistic, is just plain naive...IT CAN HAPPEN.

the only unthinkable trade in MLB is Jeter to the Redsox(LOL)...after that...anything is possible.

IMO

Yeah who would have thought the sox would trade Crawford, Beckett and Gonzales to the Dodgers for next to nothing.

I have never done a 30 team control franchise in any game but I will for The Show. I am doing it mainly for the trades but I am curious, what other things do you do to other teams in your franchise? Do you set all of their lineups, do their drafts or sign their free agents? or is it just for stopping ridiculous trades and let them control the rest?

I agree but there are some trades like Lester for Strasburg which is totally ridiculous and is unrealistic.

Do 30 team control and make trades manual for everyone until July. Most trades happen then anyway and you'll only need to pay attention for a month.

The thing I dislike about 30 team control is the draft. I'd have to draft for every single team, and it just sucks.

Of course, in real life trades like this are a once in a blue moon anomoly, yet in the Show they happen quite often.... every year....

Re: Trade Logic?

That being said, the game doesn't recognize names. I think when people realize that they would get over the fact that big names get traded. I've stopped trying to figure it out as to why certain players get traded. I just play RttS and worry about my player. Not much you can do tbh.

One of the things I really like about the game is the ability to edit players and their ratings (now only if we could edit their ages... sigh). That's why I'd like to see a "trade probability" rating that we could edit for each player, or a way of making certain players franchise icons that are not able to be traded by the CPU. This would especially be nice for when we create legends rosters, and don't want all of the teams continually busted up....

That's why I don't do it. I was hoping trades would be improved this year since franchise mode has been rebuilt. I've already started my single team franchise mode and there is no looking back now. If stupid trades happen then they happen I guess. One thing I might do is create a backup save and see if that helps prevent unrealistic trades but if that doesn't work then there is nothing I can do about it.

Next to nothing? Yeah right. Got rid of 3 substantial contracts and got 2 great pitchers and a player that helped us get Hanrahan.

IIRC, you can press square which asks the CPU to give you its input of which player to take.

I thought they made it so you can sim it this year.

thought so too but seems like already some other things that were supposed to work don't do so, do I would not be surprised abt that one either

Re: Trade Logic?

In my RTTS Stephen Strasburg was traded for Jon Lester... A straight player for player trade like this is so unrealistic its not even funny... They have to change this
