Offseason trades and waiver claims

[Rod_Carew29]

and if one wants to just look for the pending transactions screen just because...

go to whatever team you choose

Roster Moves Heading

3 lines down--Pending Transactions

press 'X'

you'll see Waiver Wire

press R1

you'll see that team you're on...their Waiver Requests

press R1

you'll see that team's Players Designated for Assignment

press R1

Trade Offers

press R1

Trades Proposed

most MOST player moves in my first offseason, I went to Manage Roster, pressed 'X' for the player I wanted to move to another team, then pressed 'X' over Release Player

then I'd go back to Pending Transactions-Waiver Wire (under the team where he SHOULD be goign to) and press 'X' to claim him....he'll automatically go to that team....even teams that are over budget can get players that way...whereas trading won't work out

Really!
Nice!

Hey RC....you gotta be diggin' the player vault, right?...I had all of us in mind when I asked for individual imports...but guys like you specifically who didn't do a complete set en masse...but individuals. Too bad no in franchise import yet...but I see that coming.

Thanks for the tip on moving players for over budget teams!

Knight,
Do you know if they ever fixed the bug where you can not trade until Jan 1?

I don't.
I did put it down on the list when I was there on things to check(them to check into I mean).
I noted that you were under the impression...the game doesn't realize the W.S. is over....until Jan 1st(opening up the trade channel)...(that was it...right?)

Yes that seems to be what I believe is happening. Thanks for looking into it.

Kniiiiiiight! Whats good? I woulda NEVER thought I have had one on you! The king of the workarounds? Wow LOLOLOL

I love the player vault....and you know what? Honestly, if there's nothing for it in franchise, I'm good...the way I do things, I wont miss it anyway...

My sched is like SCEA's...I mean the only time in the last year that I was basically off from doing anything rosters-wise was December 2010/and about 2 weeks into 2011.....that's it LOL

I first discovered this workaround while playing in my 2010 franchise. Right after the real-life trade of Oswalt going to the Phils. I tried moving him and the over budget message came up. I hadn't noticed Philly was over....

At first I was gonna do one of those three team trades, but then I realized in this case, it wouldn't work...so something told me to release him. I did that. But my initial mistake was that I had all of the NL Central teams place a claim (LMAO)...stupid me (duh!)..so whomever was in last place at the time (cant remember now) claimed him. LOL THAT wasnt gonna work, so I released him from that wrong team and made sure I only claimed him with the Phillies. In a couple of days he was automatically assigned to the Phils' AAA team and from there it was a wrap!
