PICK DEFAULT ROSTERS( NOT CURRENT OR SAVED) 3.SELECT YOUR TEAM(ONLY 1 TEAM AND AT THE BOTTOM MAKE SURE YOUR USER PROFILE IS THE ACTIVE ONE NOT NO PROFILE! 4.WHEN ON GLOBAL SETTINGS CLICK COMPUTER CONTROL ON( YOULL GET A MESSAGE) THEN TURN IT OFF!! 5. YOUR DONE EVERYTHING SHOULD WORK NOW( ITS WORKING FOR ME)

Did exactly that in order, and it def fixes the problem of trading! Actually, it may work too well as there were NO trades at all done by the cpu. HOWEVER, after the trade deadline and ton of players were put on Trade Waivers inclding Pujols, Rafael Soriano, Heath Bell, Jose Reyes, and Lance Berkman, just to name a few of many great players.

It appears however that if YOU don't claim them yourself, they all will clear waivers and still be on their perspective teams. I had injuries off as well and noticed the cpu won't move Minors up or down throughout season UNTIL.... September 7th, then a bunch of teams "Recalled Pos. Jhn Doe from AA whatever" So they do at least do the september call-ups which is great to see.

I think I can definately start a franchise up with this fix or workaround, thanks alot man!!!

Just out of curiosity, are all these big name players in the final year of their contract? I am just wondering if that is why the CPU is placing them on trade waivers.

I posted this in a different thread in where they were discussing the effects of the player potential fix, but it answers your question as well..

-------------------------

a majority, if not damn near all, the players being put on trade waivers or even traded for prospects are players that are in the last year of their contract and:

* are in a big money contract

* are old

I don't believe the player potential fix will eliminate this from happening. Teams are looking to dump big salary players for cheaper, high ceiling, prospects. Not sure there is anything one could do to fix this outside of controlling every team.

It also works on saved rosters as well! I downloaded a "Topp 100 prospects" roster from the vault, and used that. It works perfect! CPU won't make any trades but it's better than them making them for you, as well as them claiming players off trade waivers. You just have to resist the temptation in not claiming a few players for yourself lol...

Noticed this time my team was 13.5 back of Division lead and did NOT call up players from Minors this time. Dunno if this was the reason, but regardless they didnt call anyone up. September 7th is when the playoffs start for the minor leagues, so that's why it happens on that date. I'm excited to start a chise now!

I believe the trick is to flip "CPU Control Roster" ON at global settings at the start, and then flip it back off. It's some sort of glitch in there, like the game still thinks ur in control when ur not. I am going to try it with injuries on this time and see if it works.

Yes...mostly....
..and every player traded seems to be in their last year...so if you re-work the contracts...we can easily lessen the frequency.
You'll just have to play "agent" for some players.

But again, the cpu controlled teams won't claim them so it's not a big deal imo. Just as long as YOU don't claim them, and pretty much forget they are waived then no problems!

Just did it with injuries on this time and worked like a charm! All you have to doo is flip CPU roster control on, then back off and its cured! Thanks to the man who figured this out(don't know ur name)!

Now the real question is, do I wait until Monday to start my chise or not..haha

But that's NO trades?
None even offered?
I don't think this work around has anything to do with rosters.
It's gotta be the switch for CPU ROSTER CONTROL...and with you saying no moves are made...it also sounds like it's staying on because injuries are off.
I think if you're able to get injuries on...the CPU will move guys.(up and down)

Knight... i set injuries off on purpose. Did it with them on and they were moving around cuz of injuries. If you can deal with NO trades being performed or offered to you then this will work great! Basically, its everything on except trades are off.

I personally can deal with that, cuz when the cpu did trade the logic was awful! Now im not home to check, but im sure you can trade manually if u wanted. Also, if u controlled all 30 teams like most do then you can eeasily perform trades manually to replicate real life, or whatever u wanted. Its just that the cpu will not trade PERIOD on their own.
