Trade AI issue

56lightsout56 · 06-26-2006, 09:23 PM

I have been playing around with the Trade AI with the value set on "Very Hard" and the AI GMs would not accept a fair trade even though I offered up a combo of 10 triple AAA & MLB level players, a number 1 draft pick and 1.5 million cash for one of their A level rookie league player rated 29 out of 80 in potential.

I had to go down to the "average" value to get decent acceptance offers. can this be looked at?

Eventually, I would like to see the AI GMs make more offers around the trading deadline for those teams with great records attempting to get a better player or two for some minor leaguers with high potential.

The trading AI needs help.

One other thing, probably will go unnoticed here, but at least was posted elsewhere at some point, is I was trying to trade a player. He was 28 years old, not producing, and was making 3 million a year for this year and the next.... the computer kept saying something about overpaid veterans. He had good ratings, bad stats... I wouldn't make the trade straight up either. But I offered them 7 million dollars to go along with it... that more than paid that guys salary.

The game needs to take that idea into consideration, they get a player for free for 2 years and his ratings indicate he may actually help them... if not they still lose nothing and gain 1 million dollars.

In this instance, the trade probably shouldn't have been made... but I never got a message other than overpaid veterans, which I negated by paying the guy for them.

I noticed on the 'hard' setting, I couldn't trade a major leaguer for a single-A player, so I bumped it down to 'average'.

I'm sorry for the awfully slow response to this thread.

We're always open to improving the AI. Obviously, some time has passed since you posted this issue, and the 1.0.2 patch has since been released as well.

Have you seen any improvements in the trade AI in 1.0.2? If you're still seeing poor trade AI, could you please post specific examples of trades or offers, and how you think an intelligent AI should have behaved.

Please let me know!

Thanks,

Steve

We have a rule that states that Tech Support threads wherein we have not received a response within 7 days will be closed.

This one meets this criteria, so I'm closing this.

If you want to discuss it again, just PM me with the thread link, and I'll re-open. (Don't just say "Hey, reopen my thread." I need to know the URL, thanks!)
