damarlins03 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I can not trade for Vlad.I have tried trading Livan,Johnson,Day for him but it will not work.Seems like it is impossible to get him with out putting fair trades on. What are the trade guide lines and ect. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disastros Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 It isn't impossible. Basically you have to give up your very best player. Or at least a couple of prospects that say the guy will be the best OF that ever existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean O Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 It is virtually impossible to trade a collection of people on the Nationals for him, which is part of the difficulty of the game. The only way I've been able to trade for Vlad has been with the Red Sox, Manny and Adam Hyzdu for him. It's just part of it trying to be as realistic as possible, as in real life the Angels would not trade their best player (even including K-rod) for a collection of so-so players. What you should try to do is find some cheaper talent that is either 1). really young and rising, or 2). established but underrated in the game. Luis Castillo on the Marlins ends up with incredible production despite having comparatively low ratings, while raiding the D-rays' stash of young people (B.J. Upton mainly, but also Baldelli, Kazmir and Crawford) wil lead to you having a great team in a matter of years. It's the same reason why the real Nationals won't be contesting for the NL East for years to come, because they can't just go out and trade random people for superstars. I'd trade Livan Hernandez for Zach Greinke on the Royals as a good start to future success. Also, Wily Mo on the Reds is an excellent pickup.

damarlins03 Posted April 10, 2005 Author Share Posted April 10, 2005 Thanks for the info. I turned off fair trades and traded Jose Guillen, Nick Johnson, and a AAA SP for Vlad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleMo Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Ok, ok, I don't necessarily cheat anymore but I do turn off fair trades at times. Like, I traded away Laroche and Hampton from my Braves team for some bullpen dude and Teixeira. Never looked back. Oh, I also cheated when I changed Juan Gone's attributes and Mondesi's, then traded Mondesi for Gonzo. Now I have the Gonzo that used to be great and stay healthy and he is now my LF for the Braves.

Sean O Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 See, at this point I find Dynasty mode so ridiculously easy I have to set up arbitrary limits to keep from winning more than 120 games a year. I've been picking the worst team then within 3 years at most I've been winning the championship. You just need to look for bargains on the trade block, and trade some of your older guys for **** and ***** prospects who are young. But I tend to sim more than I play, so yeah.

chiefpsu Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 or you can edit the players with player editor and trade them that way..........I do it when I feel like ripping off the reds for griffey or casey.....LMAO Man, in my franchise, the Reds will practically GIVE you Griffey for just about anything... I guess they want to dump the contract. I acquired him, but haven't been able to pass him off to another team... I guess they all realize that he isn't worth what he's being paid!
