RTTS: Ask for trade/Position change?

[lv2bll]

Does anyone know if they changed the ask to be traded option from last year as it was a 95% chance that you get benched?

Also the position change NEVER worked last year, does anyone know if it got fixed?

I'd also like to know this. I'm in the UK and have to wait for my copy to arrive so I won't find out for myself for a while.

Last year I got promoted to the Indians from their AAA side, I was naturally happy at first and after a couple of seasons won the World Series. I had good enough figures for some team to want to trade for me but trade offers never came in, obviously I started the game with the ultimate goal or hope to be traded to the Red Sox.

It never happened and despite constantly trying to antagonise for a trade all I ever got was a ticking off from the coach or a stay on the bench. This really drove morale down and after a while I gave up and stopped playing the game.

Isn't that kind of realistic? Unless its a superstar demanding a trade I would think anybody antagonizing the coach would get benched rather than immediately traded.

I have only played about about 15-20 RTTS games but it does give you an option to ASK for a position change. No guarantee that you will get it. You can also ask to be moved up in the batting lineup. If your coach doesn't agree you either get moved down or benched for a few games.

So far those are the only two options I have so I don't know yet if you can request a trade.

last year i got traded when i asked from the astros (thank god) to the brewers. astros kept platooning me with chris snyder as the #4 hitter. it was mind boggling, they wouldnt let me start, so i asked for a trade right before the allstar break and a week later they sent me packing.

bad news about that trade was that even though we made the playoffs, fielder, braun, and hart all left, so i was there all alone for 2 more season till i could become a free agent.

I'm talking about four seasons in to RTTS mode with the best part of two of those seasons asking for a trade and antagonising for a trade. So no I don't think it's realistic. Also on that point even if it might be a 'realistic' experience being a virtual prisoner in a video game does not make for a fun experience at all. I was too far in to quit and start again so that was pretty much it for me.

I wish that if you are an All-Star, you can try to sign with ANY team...
