Trade Logic cant improve until they fix budgets

[ltw0303cavs]

I am not saying that trade logic is perfect in the other 3 sport video games BUT because there are salary caps in the other 3 games it does narrow the variables. Really if Budgets worked as they should then in a way it would work like a salary cap. My main issue with the logic is it doesnt value team control on young players enough. The AI should never be offering Jackson Chourio, the Red Sox shouldn't be offering Roman Anthony AND you should be rejected on trades for those type players. The AI needs a value system and everything is calculated in that value system. Control, potential (which really needs to be redone) , performance etc.

8thHeck, trade logic cant even become closer to real MLB until there are at least 125 man rosters ( maybe even 150) and there are at least double the draft rounds. Those two things also even impact budget in addition too.

Cardinals IRL traded Sandy Alcantara and Zac Gallen for Marcel Ozuna - and then failed to re-sign Ozuna. They ended up with a draft pick for two aces.

Cardinals traded Ernie Broglio for Lou Brock. Cardinals traded Steve Carlton for Rick Wise.

Teams make bad trades IRL. I use self imposed trade restrictions to restrict my ability to rip off the cpu but teams make bad trades.

Reminds me of all of the bad Marlins trades over the years.

They traded Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis for a bunch of crap, Cameron Maybin, and Andrew Miller. Can’t tell me that IRL teams won’t trade great young players in bad deals after seeing that putrid trade.

The Giants traded Zach Wheeler for two months of Carlos Beltran hoping he would help them make playoffs. They missed out on the post-season by four games. Beltran signed a FA deal with St. Louis that winter.

Marlins traded Yelich to the Brewers for Lewis Brinson and a couple prospects that didn't amount to anything.

Stanton leaving for Starlin Castro and Rafael Devers cousin didn’t work out either. It’s amazing that they traded all 3 of their star outfielders and all they have to show for it is Alcantara. Even when they moved Gallen for Jazz, they got rid of him and got some ok prospects from the Marlins.

This thread is making me feel like the trade logic in this game isn’t too far off after all.

Agreed, Dansby Swanson was an overall number one pick and traded. However IRL bad trades are never at the volume than in The Show ? Also a lot of "bad trades" are determined after the fact. Cardinals traded Randy Arozarena for Liberatore for example. Also low budget teams shouldn't be trading for high payroll guys
