trading difficulty
I'm kind of annoyed by the trade settings right now. I have worked on normal-balanced, hard-balanced and veryhard-balanced and i cant seem to find something that i like. normal is too easy. but i was just trying to move an established LF who has an ovr of 59/80 contact of about 85/100 is hitting over .320 this season on pace for 100 rbi. and i cant get anyone to take him for prospects (still in arbitration phase of contract isnt owed big money). just to mess around i went to the cubs organization and they have an organizational weakness in LF. i pick the prospect with the lowest ratings across the board from their system and they tell me it isnt a fair trade. a major league all star for a nobody isnt fair for them? wtf!? i feel like hard and very hard they try and make you lose the trade badly (why dont you throw in a few top prospects on top of that ML ready player for our garbage), and in medium it is too damn easy!

I agree. I suggested a setting between Normal and Hard here: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ggestions.html

I would play with this setting until you like what you see. Here's a test. Turn eval on and put current year stats to 100% and see where his OVR ends up at also try and make similar trades and see what happens. |

59 seems to be a pretty solid player from my somewhat limited experiences in OOTP 15 (playing with overall rating based on all player, not positions, based on AI evaluation instead of pure ratings & everything relative to MLB). Yes, 50 is the average of 20 & 80, but there's not a bell curve of a few 80s & 20s with most being average. Nearly all the players are 20 overall with a potential under 30. I'd say 59 is above average for a reliever where all relievers seem to generally be lumped together in the 40-50 rating range, but for SP or position players 59 seems to be pretty solid rating. 59 potential is a late 1st round, early 2nd round draft pick's peak from the draft classes I've had
If 59 actually is just a slightly above average major league player, then that would presumably make a 20/20 player minor league fodder. Getting an above average starter who's still on an arby-eligible deal in exchange for minor league fodder would still be a no brainer for any team with a hole/need for that MLB player and who has the budget space Last edited by ezpkns34; 05-27-2014 at 06:30 AM. |

Yea so many different variables. We don't know the OP's settings so a 59 rating in your league could be valued differently in his. Using relative ratings, basing ratings by positions or not will make any outcome different. The players are just numbers at the end of the day so logic may lack common sense.
According to the manual, a 4 star player is considered above average I would guess a 59 OVR would probably translate into 3 stars if that. Color codes from the manual- Blue= Excellent Green= Good Yellow= Average Orange= Poor Red= Awful If that 59 is in yellow than he's a average player in the database/or league depending on what setup you are using. We all could be arguing semantics but this is what the game see's as "above average" player. Last edited by SirMichaelJordan; 05-27-2014 at 08:59 AM. |

Another factor may be the Cubs record/organizational focus (are they in win now or rebuild mode). The AI may be in complete rebuild mode and may not be willing to give up any prospects at all for a good ML ready player though. That could be another contributing factor.
