I dont want the CPU trading with itself or with me without me authorizing it. I also want injuries off. So how? Thanks in advance!!!

Control all 30 teams and change all their roster management options to manual. This should eliminate the bug where the cpu trades for human controlled teams because with that bug, the cpu only proposes trades, he doesn't accept them.

Just pay attention to the pending transactions page and your emails. Should the cpu propose a trade for you, simply go in and back that trade out.

If so, I will cry.

It shouldn't because the bug only causes the cpu to propose trades, not accept them. So if its trying to trade with another human controlled team, the trade should go unaccepted.

Trades such as Beckett, Lester and Ortiz for a home plate. Well, after reading above, in order to play this game pre-patch realistically, may have to do every trade manually. Trade Logic needs an enima.

nope. Outside of controlling every team and setting their trades to manual(or turning off trades altogether), there is no way of stopping these trades.

And fyi, the reason these trades are made is because the cpu is trying to dump high dollar amount players in the final year of their contract, or high aged players at the end of their contract. At least a great majority of these are due to that. Same with the waiver wire "issue".

I'm mocking? How many times have you said 'you've obviously made up your mind'.

Just leave me alone dude, we've discussed your options, I've said they won't work for me or anyone else that wants to play more than 1 or 2 seasons of franchise, so either come up with something new or stop responding to me. For god's sake please.

Does this sound patchable?

I never have really done that in baseball games. If you really want to do this, I would suggest turning off trading. In my opinion, it's a bad idea to wait for a patch. I did that last year with the Show and this year with Madden. I end up losing interest in the game by the time the patch comes out.

works for me and I'm going to play more than 1 or 2 seasons. Playing one now. Just so you know...these workarounds are just until they release the patch. I'm not sure how many seasons you are hoping to accomplish in a month's time or with the game, but imo, doing one of the workarounds, sure beats sitting on the game.

But I'll stop trying to help you.
