Don't start over just yet.

Tbarnes seems to be testing whether or not this is actually an issue with how the game is treating 30-team/Single-team trading.

If what Bcruise posted is consistent, and the issue is that 30-team only is broken, then maybe...just MAYBE...SCEA can isolate the cause and fix it.

Let's see if that's what's going on here first.

Ok, thanks for the tip.

I am doing 30-team control but am only using the Phillies. I have the 29 other teams set to a CPU profile I made. I even tried switching that profile to see if it does anything. It was still the same. Only 4 trades and all in July.

Yeah, those are my thoughts exactly - a fix to something involving 30-team doesn't need to include a trade logic change. I'm interested to see the results he gets now that this is out there - I'm pretty certain no one has been able to claim 23 trades in a season post-patch until now. At least that first sim he did with the live roster (22 trades) tells me this wasn't some isolated occurence with my game.

Here is a 30 team control using the latest rosters. There were 14 total trades. Many times there are fewer.

bcruise by you simming spring training have you checked the injuries? Teams fill injuries with trades.

Even using single team control the most trades I have gotten has been 22 using default, live and custom. Most times they are between 14-18 trades. I skip spring training.

Me too and I see the same stuff. This why I was saying earlier that I was surprised that only me and tbarnes (and a couple others) seemed to even notice this issue. But I guess it shouldn't surprise me, really. Most people haven't gotten far enough in their Franchise to notice it.

Like I said, this literally kills the mode for me. Fingers crossed that the problem can get isolated and patched. Or worst case, that single team control ends up working fine so I'd just end up doing that instead.

How's the quality of the trading, though? Is it better than what we were seeing in 30-team (meaning have you noticed any logic improvements in single-team)?

I just started a new Franchise as a test. The only different thing I did compared to my current Franchise is put instant trades to on. Started simming and saw 3 trades in April, 2 trades in May, 2 trades in June, 4 trades in July, and 2 trades in August. Still not a ton, but better.

Instant trades will give you more if you are using 30 team control. I averaged between 4-12 trades without instant trades post patch and 12-21 with instant trades.

Pre-patch I was getting between 18-28 trades.
