Unable to undo dumb trades.

[Gagnon39]

I run a 30-team franchise (controlling the Cubs), and lately I’ve noticed that many times I’m unable to undo dumb trades the CPU makes. Even when I go in and switch the team profiles to, “manual,” trading, often times I’m unable to reverse trades.

Sometimes I just let it slide, but this one kind of has me frustrated. The Astros traded an A prospect (forget his name, but young RF) to the Cardinals for Michael Wacha. First of all, the Astros don’t need Michael Wacha, and what’s worse, they have him in Triple-A. I even tried to mess with ratings a little to make the trade more, “even.” I tried proposing the trade back as both the Cardinals and the Astros. I moved both players to the Majors and proposed the trade. I can’t think of anything else to try to be honest which is why I’m posting it here. I’ve never noticed this happening in any other, older versions of The Show.

Anyone have a solution to this? I’d really like to get Wacha back on St. Louis, especially since the Cardinals are a division rival for me and we play all the time.

Yeah I've got a dumb trade I need to find a way to undo in the off season because I didn't notice it until after the trade deadline. I don't have 30 team control so I'm going to need to involve the team I control to make it a three team trade. The Phillies, who are 17 games under.500 and 21.5 games out of first traded Rhys Hoskins to Houston for Ken Giles and a two month rental of Dallas Keuchal

Well, it’s one thing to not have 30-team control, but I do. And I still can’t reverse the trade. It’s pretty ridiculous.

Does everything look good budget-wise? Have the cardinals added any salary since the trade and adding Wacha back will push them over budget?

It does look like there might be budget issues. But I don’t understand because I’m trying to reverse it immediately. I haven’t waited more than a day in the season so there’s no way other moves have been made.

Using player search can override the trade deadline. Just search that player and “trade for.”

It’s not a trade deadline issue. It’s just that neither team will accept the trade.

Yea I have had same problem in my 30 team control franchise with budgets ignored.....I just had to set waivers to manual for every team and put the players on waivers and placed claim on them with team they were originally with...

Re: Unable to undo dumb trades.

I ended up trading Dexter Fowler to the Astros for Wacha. Then I traded that right fielder (A prospect) foot Fowler to get everyone back on the right team. So frustrating. I wish they’d bring back the pending trades. It made things so much easier.

This is one of the many things that would be so, so much better if modes like Diamond Dynasty and Madden Ultimate Team we’re not popular. If developers had spent the last 10 years improving franchise mode instead of online modes we would probably have decent trade logic by now.

If it’s not going to be improved, the least thing that can be done is make it so it’s easy to regulate the trades that do happen.

Re: Unable to undo dumb trades.

How do you do 30 team control with only 1 team controlled? Whenever I do this, the CPU uses very unrealistic lineups (such as leading off someone who should be a cleanup hitter) etc I know how to do the 2 profile thing, but am wondering how to keep the CPU from making unrealistic lineups etc

Force trade would allow you to trade back without CPU rejecting

Re: Unable to undo dumb trades.

My rosters are all legends that I created they're all on the team's I want them to be on. Takes a lot of effort really don't appreciate chasing my tail. Give us an option no CPU Trading user trading only.
Here's hoping that franchise gets a little TLC this year more options would be welcomed.

I'm not sure this is an option once franchise is started.

Re: Unable to undo dumb trades.

If they would just put an option to haver a League Commissioner that needs to approve all trades, it would solve the problem.

This would work regardless of whether you control all 30 teams or not. You would get a notification of a proposed trade between CPU teams and you would have to approve it. Problem solved.
