I guess he was referring to those who do have the game. I have asked a few franchise based questions, but they get lost so easily with questions about RTTS, gameplay, etc. I just wish they had a thread for each area, so if someone wants to ask a question about franchise, just go to the franchise thread and bam. Just my opinion though.

I wish things weren't so regimented. After all it is just a video game forum.
I hear you about questions getting lost. I can see how there is good with it too though as this site has grown.

I think the original thread said exactly what was improved. Trade logic. That's the improvement. Not trying to be sarcastic, but what more information are you looking for? It means that the logic in which the cpu trades with is more realistic, hence improved. Improved trade logic. There you go.

I think the logic looks improved; you still have the problems with players who IRL wouldn't be traded, but at the end of the day it would make sense for these guys to be moved.

For example, I just simmed to July 31st. Sabathia and Hughes got hurt and the Yanks are in 4th in the East...so they shipped Jeter to the Cubs for Castro and a good prospect. Makes sense to me since the Cubs are fighting for 1st in the Central (if anything the Cubs got ripped)

Other "name" guys who got traded were Rios (2 A prospects), Burnett (for Mike Minor), V-Dub (doesn't make $26 mil in this game hah), Teixiera (um...guess the Yanks are really going firesale mode haha...got Freeman + 2 A prospects though), Slowey and Tejada

You could argue with the Yankees firesale, but I think its pretty solid. Yanks system is absolutely loaded now too.

If that's all of the 'name' players that got dealt, than that seems pretty improved to me.

Do you recall how many years Jeter, Tex, and Burnett had remaining?

I assume it was the same as real life but I just closed the game (Hawk game's on in a bit hah) so I'm not 100% sure.

Also virtually all of the trades happened within a week of the deadline, and more on the 31st than any other day. The only "name" guy who got traded before July was Slowey.

This is great news!

As far as the contract length, the Show does not duplicate real to life years.

It's also encouraging to see a powerhouse team, way out of it, be one of the only teams unloading superstars.

Thanks. Enjoy the game...Uh....both games! LOL
