mlb franchise- CPU trading.. very unrealistic

[matty09]

So I've come to realize that CPU trading in the show 12 is a bit far fetched. At times there's a general consensus that would make sense in real life sports. But in my dynasty just finished year one and I've come to decide that I most likely will start over again because of this problem.

1st example. Seattle is trying to get younger in real life with a lower budget as come fit in June they decided to trade there long time perennial all star Ichiro for a top prospect of the Yankees. Make sense? I think so. But the other half doesn't they traded Felix Hernandez for cost cutting, and supposed prospects*. When I say that they got back 3 players in total of 15 million all over 30 years old. Hmm.. then after being first in there division for the first two months the Phillies cleaned house come June. Halladay, Utley, Howard and few others were shipped out the door and for what? Very low end prospects, and no major league ready players. Arizona won the Halladay sweepstakes, 4 months later after the world series they shipped him to the Yankees. The Royals traded every single prospect major and minor league and stacked there team by the all star game.

Hell I know its a video game.. but man when you see 30-40 of these trades happen in a span of the first 3-4 months of the season, kind of ruins authentic part of the sport. I'm only a little sour because as the Jays, I couldn't even aquire one of these guys with Romero, Batista, and Lawrie packaged together :¦ not that I did or would, but the CPU wasn't interested.

Thanks

30 team control. You have no choice.

I know I have no choice at all what the other 29 teams. But how often in sports do you see a legitimate contender say hey you know what were going to sink the ship and blow up the organization with a 110 games left in the season? They should make a few untouchable just as the nhl series does, or possibly just have better CPU logic behind what they do, eg. Madden 12

I'm a little worried about the CPU trades, I have to admit. The Yankees are in first place and they put Cano on the trading block? The Rays are one game out of first and they're blowing up the team? Hellickson has already been traded to the Nationals and the rest of the rotation is on the block.
I simmed through the trading deadline as a test of what I could come to expect and it was pretty ridiculous. I witnessed the last place Blue Jays trade for Chase Utley, only to trade him right back to the Phillies. A three-way trade between two teams! Good job!

Unfortunately we have no control over the trade block...
