I don't even do the trade deadline; I make all my trades a day or two before if I feel the need to make a move... which I usually don't. But if I *do* need to address a depth position, or want to add a high pick in the upcoming draft and am willing to move a talented 2nd tier prospect for it, I'll do it the day prior to the deadline.
I have CPU trades off because no trades is much more realistic than the trades the AI GMs make. Oh well.
Not a bad idea to turn trades off as they are especially terrible this year. I always save 2 days before the deadline and then go in and make my moves. I then revert back to that save file, make the trades from the deadline on those 2 days before and save. Then I sim over the deadline, reverting back as many times as needed so that there aren't so many brain dead deals. It takes a lot longer (usually 10 - 15 sims) but I can get it to where it is tolerable. I've done the same thing before the draft and resign period for the last few years as well.
I appreciate the dedication to do that; I'll do that with stuff like that during the season (if I don't have a game, I'll save then reload if a player gets 4+ points; sometimes I'll let 'em get away with it, it can happen from time to time, but 99% of the time I'll quit out and reload to get more realistic point totals), and occasionally during the restricted free agency period because sometimes teams' decisions are BAFFLING.
But for trades... I'll just let teams do what they do during the draft, and make moves in free agency. They make too many mistakes there as it is. Oh well.
Just to piggyback from another discussion on here, but I think this is exactly why it would be cool if someone involved would come on here for a discussion on franchise mode. Since scouting was introduced a few years ago, there have been a few minor, but very positive changes each year to make it more realistic and give us different options. As far as I can tell there were zero improvements made to coaching and chemistry this year despite it being far from perfect. Is the coaching system then working how the developers envisioned it, and if so why not explain to us the reasoning for it and maybe let us explain our reasoning for why it doesn’t work? The same goes with AI GM’s, there haven’t been any changes over the years to improve how they assemble and run their teams. I can understand that it must be extremely difficult to program these AI GM’s, but this year they have managed to make them worse so it would be cool to know why. Is having more of a fantasy mode where there are countless trades and signings whether they make sense or not what is wanted more out of the player base or people with influence?
- @Beauts90 From what we’ve seen on the forums here, the player base definitely wants realism. But maybe the people with influence want the unrealistic stuff Cus it makes their videos more interesting?
The fans and players will never be listened to anyway, we’ve been largely ignored for years now.
It still doesn’t make sense why the trade block gets controlled by the AI when we turn the assistant off.
