In any case you can set up the franchise to mimic exactly what the rel MLB does so thumbs up SCEA!

Here is my problem with the trade logic. They will have a team trade for a position they don't need. For example in the last sim I did I saw a Lance Berkman for Clayton Kershaw swap. That makes no sense, first of all the Dodgers wouldn't trade Kershaw and 2nd of all what are they going to do with Loney? Sit him on the bench?

That's my #1 issue with trades in this game. I don't have to have them mirror real life. I know they won't but I want them to make sense.

I can see your point there, the only other aspect that you could 'defend' the AI on with that is; I believe Berkman has a large expiring deal... that way the Dodgers get him for x games this year, then he is off their payroll, where as Kershaw could have a multi year deal that they dont fancy carrying.

Im just speculating, but thats the sort of things I also keep in mind when deals go down.. on the field it might not be ideal, but off it, that could be just what the team wants?

I saw the Yankees trade AJ Burnett for Hideki Matsui when I was simming. I Lol'd.

Kershaw doesn't have a large deal IRL (he isn't even arb-eligible yet). However, the game may have him making significantly more??? May just be an oversight with Kershaw's contract in the game...that certainly wouldn't ruin the game for me though.

That sounds way too complicated. Isn't there any easier way?

If that's the case the deal would go down like this.

Loney, Kershaw, and a prospect for Berkman. You wouldn't trade for Berkman and keep Loney.
