I'm trying to wrap my head around the changes to trading. The trade quality itself is really good. The problem seems to be that team strategy seems to mean nothing anymore. Teams like the Phillies and others in rebuild mode don't put players on the trade block or move vets.

I believe that is why trade frequency is reduced. I have tried just about everything to increase trades. The only thing that helps is to increase the injury slider. It doesn't look like teams are trading to improve the ballclub, but only replacing injured players.

The last sim I had there were 0 trades in July. That to me is just not realistic. Here is a shot of the Phillies in July in rebuild mode with their trade block with no one on it. BTW I'm testing with OSFM.

I know some people want fewer trades, but remember the way the system is setup the only way the 40 man roster gets moved around is by trades opening spots for prospects. A few years ago when Strasburg was the highest rated pitcher and in AAA but not on the 40 man, he would sit there until a trade and sometimes stay for a year or two.

I see players are still being traded multiple times in a season. Jackie Bradley Jr. was traded twice. To the Orioles, then to the Nationals.

To be honest that doesn't bother me as bad. I've seen Tanaka traded 3 times in one season in another sim. I can pretend its a 3 team trade.

For me to feel engaged in a franchise I need to feel the teams are trying to position themselves to try to improve. Right now I don't see teams in playoff push make a move to acquire a piece or a rebuilding team dump for prospects. I much preferred it before the patch.

It doesn't bother me as much either I just don't like the consistency of it. Happens way too often.

I see trading logic was addressed in this patch. What was broken before 1.02?

Oh, I'll happily up vote any bug reports you file, BTW. Either link them here or hit me up in a PM. Hopefully they can up the trades if they put out another patch.

# 326 Knight165 @ 04/24/15 08:10 PM

I'm with you tb......
The quality is improved....but the frequency AND the importance of playoff push(neutral and rebuilding don't need it) needs to be emphasized for more moves with those teams.
IMO anyway.

So I know this has been asked a few times in this thread, and it has been answered a few times but not definitively from a developer......but do we have to restart our franchise for the improved trade logic, etc. in franchise mode? I read through the entire thread and did not see a definitive answer from a developer or someone saying they heard it from a developer.

you don't need to restart your franchise for the patch to take place. If you did they would've said so in the patch notes.

Also, if the patch didn't take place in existing franchises, the highlight reel wouldn't be working which it is nor would people see McCutchen with his new hair style.

Yeah true...I haven't played yet since the patch came out though. I am on vacation. But good to know. Thanks.

# 330 TheRealC7R @ 04/25/15 12:11 AM

Any word on whether or not the frame-rate can be improved such that it at least matches that of 14?

Same here, post patch. Also had a ball hit down the right field line that bounced off the corner wall and into play and was called fair while Matt V announced that it was "off the ivy."

I have to believe this is all related to some sort of boundary problem. The camera follows foul balls way back into the stands as if they are in the field of play (commentary also indicates this) and the ball disappears right through the crowd. Matt V says "Lands foul" instead of "out of play" or something else to indicate it went into the crowd.

# 332 mdiggitydawg @ 04/25/15 01:21 AM

Has anything been done to address the way pitchers and catchers go after the ball only to watch each other allowing an infield "single"? If not, hopefully in the future...

I do love the game though

If only my franchise Mets were as good as the real club...Been a loooong time since I've made a statement like that

Let's go Met's go (so cheesy, but love the Mets)

# 333 Zinger @ 04/25/15 01:40 AM

The patch downloaded to my PS4 yesterday but McCutchen still has long hair. Anyone else got that?

General – Public Announcer audio was frequently incorrect (announcing the wrong name) during the end of game wrap up and also when bringing relief pitchers into the game.

Still occurs in DD (PS3) - just played against the A's and both our P's were announced pitching for the Dodgers. My team's audio name is All-Stars.

Edit: Played an Ex (Det/Bos with QC) and the WP was announced as Jake Arrieta, so both sides of this are still wrong.

please find the bug, that is killing online leagues with games not processing/recording W/L, byes not simulating so unable to advance to playoffs, announcers commenting on first career doubles and HR's well into league games played, every home game being opening day and scouts no longer scouting players leaving pool for amateur draft completely blind

# 337 2ndBase @ 04/25/15 03:26 PM

* So far, tagging seems to improved
* Still cannot dive with player lock & there are still moments when the player lock at bat is skipped. Seems to be post 8th inning at bats
* Would love an option to turn off the post out music. It is too repetitive.

The patch was downloaded, but was it installed? Make sure the patch was also installed. The easiest way to do this is to just try to play online somewhere. The game won't let you proceed into online play without the patch, and will ask you to install it.

If for some reason that doesn't work, you can also return to the main XMB menu (the PS4 one, not in The SHow), and press "Options" --> "Check for Update"... OR you can go into your Notifications (from the XMB menu again, press up, and it's one of those icons) and install the patch from there.

Maybe because Lawrie knows he is suppose to be on the A's?!

# 340 scogna579 @ 04/25/15 05:37 PM

I would like for an online game to know if it is a lefty or righty pitching so I can adjust my lineups. Picking a jersey online would be nice too.
also diamond dynasty hat brim and helmet flaps are not able to edit for your player created.

other than that this is a huge step forward with this patch , I played maybe 10 games after the download and the game plays so smooth and no freezing!! thanks sds
