What do you have to avoid in the game just to be able to play it?

Trade logic is a little goofy, but not outlandish. If you do not want to see a star traded release and resign hm to a longer deal.

I actually like that big players are traded for prospects, just wish it would be after the team is out of contention.

Good post man...

Can't play a full game in Tropicana Field.

Can't intentionally walk someone online.

Always worrying about a game freezing up sometimes late into a franchise season.

Can't perform some actions in RTTS without worrying about if the game will freeze or not?

And some can argue that the aspects created by some of the bugs & glitches detract from this game so much so it is no longer a baseball game....just some odd sports game.

They could fix a lot of the star trade issues if they just added the real life 5/10 rule, where players with 5 years on a team and 10 in the majors can't be traded (without consent). Then you wouldn't see the Jeter's or Chipper's traded away. I haven't gotten that far in my franchise yet, but last year's game was pretty good in regards to trades. I didn't feel that it was at all terribly unrealistic.

Nothing to do with franchise, but can understand your frustration. Always worrying about a game freezing up sometimes late into a franchise season. Cant comment as ive not played late into a Franchise season yet Can't perform some actions in RTTS without worrying about if the game will freeze or not? Again not Franchise, and also cant comment as dont play RTTS And some can argue that the aspects created by some of the bugs & glitches detract from this game so much so it is no longer a baseball game....just some odd sports game.

I appreciate your post and im as annoyed as anyone when a 'bug' interferes with a game I enjoy, but Franchise mode is playable and does not need certain things to be avoided.

Sergio's post explains the logic thing more than I could, things dont always go to plan, thats how Franchise is atm.

I agree with you. Like many of us here, I would love for the Show to be a real as possible. I love to have up to date real life rosters in my franchise but, in all honesty, it boils down to it still being a video game the mimics real like in a "virtual" vaccumm. Yeah, some of the trades made during a franchise can be outrageous if you apply them to the real world, but since the trades are virtual, they sometimes aren't so bad if you look at them from the "virtual" perspective. I hope this makes sense to some.

With that said, rather then drive myself crazy and buy myself a one way ticket to "shutter island", I choose to start my franchise with the most up to date rosters when I decide to start. What happens during my franchise is fine with me. I don't have the time to control all 30 teams and don't have the time to keep up with all the transactions during the season and mirror them in my franchise.

Just my .02 cents.
