MLB 11 The Show: Franchise Trade and Off Season Logic Has Been Massively Improved

[NAFBUC]

Thanks SCEA....once again you step up to plate and hit a Grand Slam in extra innings to win the game!

Franchise mode is the MVP of The Show.

Will this logic be also used for RttS seasons and how the CPU manages teams?

Anyone want to play the guessing game as to what's been added?

I'm going to say this is what I am hoping for:

• Three team trades
• Some sort of 'counter offer' system
• Some sort of better 'negotiation' system with free agents (counter offers, preferences on what city they want to play, etc.)
• more than 3 players per side in a trade

Did this mean only 10% of what they want to do to franchise for this year's release or down the road? Honestly, I've played enough text sports game to be very nervous when I hear of a major rewrite this close to release; not to mention a graphics based game. I know these guys will do all they can with patches, etc to fix anything that comes up but there always seems to be a nagging situation that drags on to the next version (like the 2013 issue). I was also a little troubled at the first response "what is the 2013 issue?" What? If someone who checks the OS forums doesn't know what the 2013 issue is, that has me a little worried. I know the game will be good and am looking forward to it. Guess I'm just a little jaded by sports games overall....Come on spring training...

I believe that Knight said that Kolbe is well aware of the 2013 issue.

Well, this is awesome news, to say the least. I had been debating whether or not to purchase 11, or stick with 10 for awhile. Well you guys just sold me. My $$$$ is ready, bring on 11 !
