CurveBall Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hi guys, Would any of you know happen to know if there is a way to actually turn off CPU trading in Franchise mode? I always had it turned off, but CPU-controlled teams still sign free agents and make trades almost on a daily basis. For some reason, whatever setting I use seems to have no effect whatsoever on CPU trading (it happens no matter what). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoGatto Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I don't think you can, even if you control all teams it still happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurveBall Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 But isn't that silly? What's the point of having such an option if, no matter whether CPU trading is turned on or off, the CPU will make trades anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tks Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I am going from memory, which is dangerous but as I recall, you have the option to cancel CPU trading before you start a franchise. Once you begin, however, you cannot make any changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurveBall Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Funnily enough, I had it turned off before starting my current franchise. It didn't matter; the CPU keeps signing free agents like crazy and makes trades every now and again. You can change the options after starting the franchise as well although it doesn't seem to affect anything. It seems like those options are there to make us believe we can adjust settings when in fact we can't. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am well into August with my franchise and the only trades or free agent moves that are made are instituted by me. Only issue I have found is that sometimes the computer won't accept my trade (actual players traded IRL). Therefore I have to take the team I am trading with and make the player a FA and do the same with my player and then put each to the traded team.

I should have mentioned I am controlling only one...although I don't know if that makes any difference or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurveBall Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Curveball... Nope....Controlling only one...Chicago Cubs. Oh, you're right, thanks! I just realized I was able to make pretty much all the transactions I wanted for every other computer-controlled team. So my temporary fix is to "undo" what the computer did (i.e. releasing the players they've signed, trading players back to their original team). It's not a perfect solution but at least it's better than not being able to do anything at all. Now if only I could get my outfielders to actually catch the ball... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
