RTTS Trade logic a bit off?

[offishall]

Hey Folks, happy opening day. Jays fan who is cautiously optimistic about this year. Hope all of you and the team you support have a great year.

Now, been playing the show since pre-load went live, but recently started the RTTS (Did a carry over of my '14 player but decided to start fresh with new roster) and chose the Jays team, as a CF.

Didn't take long for me to get called up as the Jays need a decent CF, and my secondary position was 2b. But I noticed as I was playing popups about trades that something was off.

So 2015 in the RTTS this is how the trades went down before my call up.

Week 2
Rays trade Drew Smyly to Jays for Russell Martin

Week 6
Redsox trade Xander Bogaerts to Jays for Josh Donaldson

Week later

Yankees trade Jacoby Ellsbury for Edwin Encarnacion

Day later

Orioles trade Matt Wieters to Jays for Michael Saunders

Then I got the call up. But these trades seem kind of off the wall to me. Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but seems to me in a few months everything they did in the off season was wiped out, and so long to Edwin.

Anyone else notice Garth Snow like managing like this?

Thanks all, here's to a great 2015 MLB season.

Re: RTTS Trade logic a bit off?

Yeah its pretty bad, really wish you can have some control like in franchise to stop this. In my 2018 season with the Rockies they just completly threw aware our great season by trading away all their best players like Nolan Arenando who becomes really amazing and two of our best pitchers that year like Brett Anderson and Juan Nicasio who were All Stars that year. In return they got a young reliever, Matt Dominguez, and Adrian Gonzalez. We ended up missing the playoffs this year because of those terrible trades, it really killed my enjoyment.

THere are a lot of improvements that need to be made in that mode honestly. I had a randomly generated player who won the Cy Young and Rookie of the Year one season only to be placed into Triple A for that next season. Also they need to promote and demote players/pitchers better, they kept playing Adam Octavino even though he had his Era over 7.00!! Sorry, I am not trying to derail your thread but I just would like to see some improvements to this great mode.

Should be able to decline some trades

Re: RTTS Trade logic a bit off?

It's always been that way in RttS. The game does not look at names only things such as position of need, contract, age, etc. I'm used to it now. I just go with it. Not much else you can do

Re: RTTS Trade logic a bit off?

I'm playing for the Mets on my RTTS & they were trading like crazy in 2015. They traded for Goldschmidt, Sterling Marte, Aroldis Chapman & Neil Walker. They traded D'Arnaud away. Lol

Re: RTTS Trade logic a bit off?

Yeah, the trade logic is a little crazy for RTTS, especially around the trade deadline. I had a player who kept getting traded away from the team I wanted to stay at so I had a few save files at different points trying to bypass this trade. Long story short, I went back to edit the player and take a trade to a new team. The trades were crazy on a few reloads just to see what would happen.

1) Had a scheduled start against KC on 7/29, immediately traded to KC for that start. July 31st hit, traded back to my original team for the same player.

2) Traded to SF from Det for Cain. Next day, sent to Det from SF for Scherzer.

3) Traded to Braves from Det on 7/27 for 3 players. Went from Braves to Tampa on 7/29 in a 1:1 swap. Went to Washington on 7/31 on a 2:1 trade.

4) Traded from Det to Washington on 7/26 for Fister. Traded from Washington to St. Louis in a 1:1 deal on 7/28. Traded to Atlanta from StL in a 3:1 deal on 7/31.

5) Traded from Det to NYM on 7/25. On 7/27, traded from NYM to Seattle. On 7/28 traded from Seattle to Atlanta. On 7/30, traded from Atlanta to St. Louis. On 7/31, traded from St. Louis to Washington.

6) Traded from Det to Washington in for Fister on 7/26. Traded from Washington to KC for Salvador Perez on 7/28. Traded from KC to Det for Fister on 7/31.

Re: RTTS Trade logic a bit off?

Why in the world would the trade logic be any different for Road to the Show than it is for Franchise Mode? Does the CPU still make ridiculous trades in Franchise Mode as well? Every year we're promised improved trade logic... yet.

Re: RTTS Trade logic a bit off?

I feel your pain bro! I made a thread about this happening to me just two days ago... I was playin 3rd for the dodgers then right before Allstar they got rid of Kershaw for Cueto then traded Cueto 10 gms later. This is just one of the crazy trades that happened that season, but on a good note we did win 106 games and a WS so I just let it slide for now!

Yeah, I know what you mean. Some of those trades were just to see what would happen. A couple of them literally wiped themselves out within 2-6 days or could have just been done as swapping the players my RTTS character was traded for (Cain for Scherzer or Fister for Perez in a straight Wash-KC deal).

Gagnon, I haven't really messed too much with franchise this edition but using 30-team can eliminate this as you can see pending transactions and cancel them or just swap them back after the fact.

It's literally never been no where near this bad.

And it should be addressed.

Re: RTTS Trade logic a bit off?

In my RTTS I have a SS for the Pirates. 2 weeks into the season they trade away Pedro Alvarez for a AA pitching prospect 1:1. The pirates have only 1 other 1st baseman in Cory Hart and he is garbage. There is no way that this trade would ever really happen, especially with the minor league pitching talent the Pirates already have.

Then in the offseason, they trade my guy to the Reds after resigning me. I hate the Reds!!!
