The Red Sox then trade him to the Dodgers and receive a player. The Dodgers then sign him.

My bad. I completely misunderstood your post. Sorry tabarnes

Pre patch; test 1 April 10 trades, May 3 trades, June 6 Trades, July 10 trades (3 at deadline), aug-Sept 0 total trades:29 test 2 April 3 trades, May 3 trades, June 6 trades, July 9 trades (1 deadline), aug 1 trade, sept 0 Total trades:22 A 2017 sim had 25 trades. I would routinely get 20-29 trades Post patch most seasons have between 14 and 18 trades. MLB has numerous trades per year and I think an average of 25 was good. The 16-17 average that I am getting now is a little disappointing. Also if you plan on not having instant trades on, I only see about 4-7 trades per year. This is one sim I had. I'm also seeing players traded in the offseason as soon as they are signed.

Hey man, are you seeing what we were discussing earlier pre-patch?

Specifically how there were an ok number of trades being offered that were not being accepted?

Because honestly, pre-patch, if I had committed to making sure most of the offers went through using 30-team control, I would have been happy. Still way too low, but with me doing that, I would have seen on average around 22-25.

Are you seeing the CPU reject a lot of trades?

Yeah, but there are also people who will play GTA V for 13 hours in a single setting. It takes all types.

I understand that. I'm a long session player myself. But we buy the game no matter what. To bring in casual gamers, you need to shorten the time to play a full game.

That's not the point. The post he responded to made it seem that this was something no one or very few wanted. That's simply not the case.

I am all for more options, my point was there those of us who like the new presentation.

I'm not sure. I tried one sim without instant trades and only saw 4 trades. I'm seeing anywhere between 8-20 trades post patch with instant trades, so I am assuming that is what will be for you to allow.

Alot of major league rp for minor league starting pitchers. I also see that no one is on the trade block in August and fewer now through the season. That may be why there are fewer trades. When I try to add players to the block with 30 team control the cpu clears it the next day.

You should file a bug report on them clearing out the trade block. I would highly doubt it's intended to work that way.

8 trades in a season has to be unintended too; unless SCEA has shifted their strategy on how frequent they want them to be on the front end.

Anyway, please fill out a report man. I'm really hoping they can up the frequency somehow and hopefully there's just a bug going on.

Anyone noticed any differences when hitting? Ive only played one game so pretty much no sample size at all. Had 10 runs on 18 hits and 3 HR. Just curios what others are seeing.
