First time owner. I have played other baseball games, most notably Baseball Mogul and MLB The Show. This is not a comparison thread, I just wanted to give some background.
There are issues with Trading, and I will explain. Example 1: I offered my 15th round pick for a 20th round pick from Computer AI controlled team. It rejected the trade. There were no players or cash involved, just pick for pick. If the Computer AI offered me this trade, I would take it in a heartbeat, and I am sure any player out there would do the same. Example 2: I offered a 5-star potential player and my 1st round pick (#5 overall) for a 3.5 star potential player from Computer AI controlled team. Again, it rejected the trade. There was no cash or other players involved in the trade. These two trade attempts were made after season 3 was over. My trade picks option is turned on, and the AI for trading difficulty is set at normal. I have gotten trades to work in game, including trading draft picks. The AI should have accepted both trades.
The trading in this game is weird and not consistent. I will give another example to explain the weird part. Example 3: First season in, I offered 2 3.5 star potential players and my second round pick (#1 in the order) for the second overall pick in draft (#2 pick in first round). The Computer AI accepted. This was probably a bad trade from the AI to accept?
Does time have relevance in making trades more difficult further you play game? I have not played game long enough to explore this hunch, but curious if others have noticed a "time" trend element in game.
I hope some expert players will read this and give us a diagnosis, I would greatly appreciate. Of course, if there is any truth to what I am saying maybe the delves can be informed.
My thanks to any of those who read and share.
