Roster Control in RTTS
-
Users should have some control over the rosters. I'm the best player on the team,, but the CPU constantly puts me in the 8 hole. Also, I just finished my regular season, and the CPU sent my best pitcher, a 16 game winner, down to Triple-A!!!!

The Royals traded away every “A” prospect from our team for retread veterans. It sucked.

Well I was drafted by Houston, played my first season in AA/AAA. Then the following season I played about half a month then got called up. When I looked at our lineup card I noticed Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa weren’t on it. So I checked the injured list and they weren’t there either. Did some digging around and Altuve is on Cleveland and Correa is on the Royals. Like wth..!! Two of our best players were traded after the one year. Like in what reality would these types of trades ever happen. I swear the AI is getting stupider every year. Especially when you get peanuts in return for top notch players.

RTTS trading has been really screwy for as long as I've been playing this title which is ~10 years now. And in that time, I have seen some truly perplexing trades and even been traded in some moves that made zero sense to me.
Worst example I've ever seen: In a previous year's version I have a SP with a 97 OVR in his 5th year or so - he's in his absolute prime at about 23, 24 years old. I'm the #1 starting pitcher on my favorite IRL team. Have won the Cy Young award a few different times. Led the team to a WS championship. Been starter in the All Star game several years in a row. Contract renewal time comes up. They offer me like $22M per year for 3 years or something like that. I sign a long-term 10-year deal at game minimum $30k per year. My logic - money means nothing in the game, therefore why not leave more in the team budget so that hopefully the GM uses the extra funds to improve the team around me. Also, I figure there is no freaking way they would ever trade away such a bargain-basement contract - what could possibly be the motivation?
The very next Spring Training I get traded out. To one of the very worst teams in the league. And despite continuing to pitch amazing, I can't win more than 15 games and for the next few years before I quit the save never got within sniffing distance of a .500 record, much less the playoffs. What did my prior team get in return for me? Three guys - all career minor league layers. OVRs in the mid-50s, aged in their late 20s to mid 30s. Guys who were never going to do anything in The Show.
Never trust the trade logic in RTTS. Never sign a long term contract.

I think the longest contract I’ve ever signed for was for 4 years. I tend not to sign long term deals to avoid that kind of scenario. Or if the team decide to trade away a lot of our top players then the team goes down hill. Ever since I played this game I typically sign 1-2 year deals till I’m eligible for free agency. I’ve always made my contract so it expires on the 6th year. This way I can gauge wether or not how the team is doing before I commit to a slightly longer contract or if I want to stay with them.
Nevertheless the trade logic as you’ve mentioned has been screwed up as long as I can remember. Sure I could lower the trade frequency slider within the settings, but that would only slow the frequency of the trades not the type of stupid trades they do. I mentioned in my previous post that my team traded Altuve and Correa. Well today I realized I haven’t seen Gurriel either. But I I didn’t look to see where he had gone to. But it’s looking like we parted ways with 3 of our best players in one year. Hard to understand the stupid logic in that one.
