Trading between 2 CPU teams

[BigL]

So how do you guys get around this considering you can only trade with the team you are using? Do you have to control all 32 teams?

You can't control all CPU teams. At most, 4. To get around a bad trade made between two CPU teams, I would imagine that you would have to force trades with the CPU for the players involved. Then trade them back to the CPU.

I have Trades between CPU teams off. What I meant is if two teams I am not controlling make a trade what is the trick to get around this? For instance, I am only controlling the Yankees so How would I pull off the Kim for Jorge Julio trade?

Ok. This can get tricky. Let' see.

Force a trade between a scrub on the NYY and Kim
Force a trade between a scrub on the NYY and Julio

Force a trade between Kim to the right team for a scrub
Force a trade between Julio to the right team for a scrub

Force a trade between the scrubs and the teams you acquired Kim and Julio from to get them back on their respective teams.

The force trade trick is the only way to make it work. I think this feature is great for updating rosters during your franchise.

What is the trick if a team releases a player. How do you get them off the team without messing up your own roster?

iS THere a way around this without losing players on your team?

FOr instance the Blue Jays released Toma Ohka, so it appears the only thing I can do is trade a scrub from my team to the jays for ohka than release him than trade him to st louis (who signed ohka) for one of their scrubs but i wont be able to recoup the player i traded to the jays and ill have a player from the cards in my minor league system.

anybody else have another way of doing this?
