Franchise things with pics

[tabarnes19_SDS]

Ok guys I have been simming and checking out the new franchise features for a few hours. I have found some things I love and things I absolutely hate. I will post some picks to show.

First things I love cpu offered 3-1 trades all A prospects for established player.

I hate that the waiver trades and waivers in general are off.

When AROD and CC were claimed I noticed they did not have contracts and were in aaa. You can see in all sims I have done Lester and Beckett are traded.

This needs to be adressed ASAP! I was just getting ready to start a franchise but I think that I will hold off for right now!!

Re: Franchise things with pics

Here are some of me claiming players on trade waivers and the cpu signing free agents in season.

Re: Franchise things with pics

Yikes, certainly doesn't look good. Can you show any screens of certain players being put on waivers and claimed?

Nevermind, you beat me to it. I appreciate you putting up those pictures, even if it makes me sick.

Wonder if this has anything to do with players being signed by the CPU in season. If I remember correctly, Knight and the CD guys said that CPU teams would NOT sign free agents but that Kolbe was looking into to it to see if it could be done without screwing things up. (Im paraphrasing here)

This is horrible news, I think i'll wait to buy now, or untill we get a little explaination.......

Re: Franchise things with pics

Right now Franchise is essential worthless to me. As you can see if you have 2 closers one goes to AAA and it goes with position players as well. More often than not the higher rated one goes down???

I have seen Palpebon down while Rivera up instead of both up, trades too easy..last year was much more difficult.

They're trade waivers though, the team should be able to pull the player back if he gets claimed.

Re: Franchise things with pics

Can this be corrected by controlling all 30 teams with multiple profiles?

Re: Franchise things with pics

So basically you can claim any all star and get them easy as pie..

Is it only you claiming all star players or are cpu controlled teams also getting all stars?


if it's only human atleast you can put it off untill "if" they fix it.

Re: Franchise things with pics

Wow! This very disappointing. This is one of the main reasons I play this game. They really didn't need to tinker or tweak the franchise model from last year. They could have keep it as is. I hope there is a patch OR at least a work around OR explanation for this.

Re: Franchise things with pics

were these just claims or did you really acquire Mauer? I noticed that it was in august which is after the trade deadline. Therefore it could be the team hoping he'd clear waivers in order to trade him. If not it definitely needs to be addressed.

Re: Franchise things with pics

I can't believe the list of players being claimed. This is a huge issue and needs to be addressed. I only played one game last night, but Franchise will hurt if this isn't fixed. I'm kinda shocked this got over looked.
