Only 3 seasons in? So you only made it to year 2014? Thats right when things really start to go haywire. In 2016 Felix Hernandez (in my franchise anyway) is a free agent because all the teams are broke. The Show 2009 I played franchises all the way into the 2020's. Obviously I sim ALOT. 2010 had wack trade logic and 2011 was no different. Im sorry but Ubaldo Jimenez for Kyle Farnsworth is a wretched trade. That cannot be considered subjective. It would not appear attributes were considered in that trade.

15 Years in Bryce Harper, Manny Machado, Strasburg, Brett Lawrie, and all the young top prospects would still be playing, so I would hope they would not be traded for mediocre relievers.

Are you saying you don't see "wretched" trades in the real MLB?
Really?

30 team control can work, but not for very long. And it takes ssooo long. The 30 team control was a work around. I liked 2009, that franchise system seemed to run just fine.

Senior Knight, you seem to be like a Ken Rosenthal/Peter Gammons type. I dont know your ties to the devs, but you always have to good inside scoop. Do you remember anything changing franchise wise between 2009 and 2010 the show?

Glad we are all talking about this.

GM logic.....trade logic in particular is always being worked on.....but one particular thing...I can't really say what that might have been.
I know that guys(community here on O.S.) wanted to see more playoff push teams trading prospects for vets and vice versa.
I have always felt that MR were valued to high(both in teams wanting them and $$$ they get)
I'm sure they are working on these aspects of franchise(FA/trades/$$$) right up until the last minute.
It's the toughest part of any sports game IMO.

once again subjective, I can fly through pending transactions in less than a minute and nix any trades I dont like

I would love to see teams who are out of the race trade guys with large contracts, established veterans, etc. for prospects. IMO, the only game to get this right was ASB 05. Even if you had all fictional players (year 20) teams who were in the hunt almost always traded prospects for proven talent. Was nice to see

Also, I do agree that trade/FA logic is perhaps the hardest thing in sports. I mean, I can only name 1 or 2 games tops that were solid regarding this area (not perfect by any means). These guys do their best and that's fine by me.
