Trade logic in RTTS
-
the trade logic in the March to October bugs me.. i will have needs like SS, SP and OF and the game will offer me other positions in trade..1B, C 3B etc.. Even when i want just prospects in return, it will offer me older players.. ugh

Absolutely agree, this is the unfortunate situation of programmers that don't know much about baseball and the folks that provide input not checking the little things, more effort put forth to DD instead of single player modes

Every game developer needs at least one old fart to remind them of who the true greats were lol sometimes google just ain’t enough
I volunteer @Blind_Bleeder or @arvcpa_MLBTS for the position hahahaha

Franchise has some whacky trades by the CPU at times. I’m in 2025. The Twins traded for Cody Bellinger. They have Cedric Mullins in center. At some point they traded Byron Buxton. They now have 2 CFers but no really good LF or RF options but instead of using Mullins there or at DH they turn around and trade Mullins for Amed Rosario who they use as the DH because they have Carlos Correa. Only thing that makes sense would be that they probably had some kind of money issues once they got Bellinger. Maybe that happened in your RTTS as well.

Playing mlb25 and it is still bad, playing on the nationals and the team traded away our 3 best performing players for what. 3 low rated pitchers. And we have that enough. The trade logic is still tragic

I think the logic in the manager interaction is that you get a decent degree of agent interaction in your first year, with the draft, signings, etc... Then, things drop off. What I think SDS is doing here is mimicking the reality of the renewable contract period, where the player is pretty much locked in with his original signing team and trades are the exclusive right of the team.
In other words, for the first four years, you avatar player is operating on the rookie contract. What the game code does not do is replicate the "super two" concept where if a player's record puts him in the top two percent of performers, then his timeline for arbitration is moved ahead.
What I found with MLB 25 is that when my avatar player first hit arbitration, then the agent came back to life, contacting me at three scheduled times: spring training, all star break, and post season. Each of these interactions provided the option to coordinate a trade, change positions or role, or say everything was fine.

In my RTTS the Red Sox traded Trevor story for Mike Trout. Explain that trade

My Blue Jays Just traded Seranthony Dominguez, one of our best relievers, to Baltimore for Ryan Noda a 1B, when we have Vladdy for the next decade, and Ty France backing him up. Great, 3 first basemen and our crappy bullpen gets crappier.

This right here nails the issue, cause and background. The discussions I have had with former SDS employees and managers confirms this comment is true. SDS hired new managers who lacked the same affinity and experience for baseball that SDS was blessed to have for so many years prior.
It is the difference between a programmer without knowledge of baseball writing code that crunches attribute numbers vice considers the relative importance of positional roles. Baseball is a game of specialists more so than any other sport. It has never been about assembling a team with the highest possible total skill level, but ensuring your team has skill enough to win in all positions.
