Not sure about players stats when there read out as i haven't been following that as closely. Have noticed my team is never mentioned when going through division standings.

Yeah the scores are fine. But the stats are wrong. Just had one where it said Strasburg lost a game even though he went 9 and gave up 3 hits. He didnt even pitch in the game.

I also noticed the radio show was wishing everyone a happy Memorial Day on May 1.

# 483 THESHAMISASHAME @ 05/07/15 06:32 AM

Playing on QC with Armours sliders or Allstar default with only solid hits for both down to 3 and its really as good as can be expected for me as that Im not really playing feeling at times is gone or more realistic

So kudos SCEA as gameplay is now sim , realistic and fun and thats the key for me so whoever writes your code deserves a raise

though I cant get that sorry kid trophy and I dont wanna use cheat sliders as gameplay is so good .

Honestly I haven't checked stats compared to what is mentioned in the radio show. I don't listen to the show anymore because it became extremely repetitive. Great foundation to build on, but after 100 games or so, I couldn't take listening to it

I tend to use the Fast Forward feature a lot instead of simming during my franchise as I like to set my lineups and watch the game progress. However, I've noticed that when I do this that the CPU won't pinch hit for relief pitchers, even when a new pitcher comes in to begin the next inning. I've created a bug report (#14495) if anyone else has noticed this and would like to upvote it. It's become rather frustrating to watch a relief pitcher hit in a key late-game situation when the tying run is on base.

I'm glad the trade issue is finally being mentioned again. I stopped playing my Franchise over a week ago because this just really kills the mode for me.

The developers are aware of the issue but please upvote the bug report tbarnes19 created just incase.

Here's the report: http://theshownation.com/bug_reports/13683

I created one as well.....upvote them both. I am sure they read them...but it helps when more who have seen this bump it up the priority list.

We won't be altering the trade logic in any future patches.

# 489 Ebpmd @ 05/07/15 01:48 PM

Regarding the fast forward issue. If you go to select team and choose no team then go to fast forward screen you will get an appropriate substitution/pinch hitting pattern.

Ramone, it's not like we find the current state of trading a little less than ideal and are asking for a fix.

The last patch completely obliterated the trading logic. It is literally broken.

I don't see how anyone that cared about Franchise mode could play this game now.

Everything was working fine with the day one patch. I beg you, if a fix can't be found, to please consider putting the logic back to where it was before 1.02.

Any chance that at least the frequency can be adjusted? It is too low right now especially for the default option of trade delay.

# 492 bcruise @ 05/07/15 03:52 PM

Regarding the trade thing:

I respect you guys that run all the sims and check these things. But I'm not seeing the same thing. I'm running sims with the default rosters and I'm seeing 20+ trades in the entire MLB through June. I'm also seeing the transaction log cut off because there's so many of them - in this last sim I ran I saw 5 trades in April but by the end of June the last one I can see is from 4/20. Hypothetically speaking if you guys are checking trades at the end of a season is it possible that some of them are getting pushed off the transaction page because of the length of time that's passed?

Here's the log - again, there were about five trades in April and only a couple are showing up here.

And this is with trade delay on. 30 team control is off.

If it's not that, maybe this is some kind of problem between the custom rosters and the franchise engine. I don't know - but I don't see the issue on the defaults, and I think that's what Ramone is getting at when they say they aren't going to change the logic again.

I'm going to try with SCEA's current roster and see what happens - that's more relevant to me since it includes Bryant and Russell.

Here's some more...this is a thing, guys. Again, single team control and trade delay is on. Check out deadline day toward the end.

Edit: Whoops, video will take some time to upload. This one's a bit longer.

I don't remember the last time I tested with single team control. I wonder if that is the issue?

I can't load the video. Care to spoil it for me?

Yeah, blame my slow upload. It'll be up soon, I promise.

3 trades on 7/31, 9 total in the month of July. I recorded all the sims and checked transactions after each month as it does seem to cut the transactions off by date.

Tabarnes: Wouldn't surprise me if that's the case - I know a lot of you guys who test these things are 30 team control types. But that would mean the logic (or at least the frequency) isn't really broken - some kind of setting involving CPU control on 30-team is.

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.
