DraftNik Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Anybody else play MVP Baseball 2005? Have you found that trades are impossible when you have fair trades on? I tried trading Tejada for the worst prospect on a single-A team and it was rejected. And I also tried doing fair trades like Tejada for Michael Young and couldn't. What's going on?

TheDoyler23 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Yea, I've noticed that too, even when the other team has their player on their block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rypien 91 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I noticed that also. I have made some trades, but even when the guy is on the block, it is hard to get him. But some trades are easy. It doesn't make any sense. I still love this game though. I am hooked on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinzfan4life Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 When are you trying to trade? If it is in the offseason the computer wont do many trade. Also, its hard to trade older guys for anything...i tried to Trade Loaiza after the 3rd season but cant get any decent value for him. But i can complete trades, just have to work at it a little bit.

rebornempowered Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Any advice on how to extend contracts? On Madden they will take additional years easily but on MVP you have to sell your firstborn to get them to sign a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will usually only go a year +- on thier contract. That way they can get back to the market... With no salary cap they dont want to be tied into a sub par contract.

That's what I thought but wanted to see if anyone had a trick to it. Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 4 year deal in MLB is a long term comittment. Guys in the middle of their career want a deal that will carry the rest of their productive years or even beyond. Look @ Magglio Ordonez. He waited out the market and got a 6 year deal despite missing the last year due to injury. Besides some loopholes, the players gets 100% of their contract. Usually a team has to overpay for a free agent, so the back end of the contract covers a market increase. In the NFL, only signing bonus money and roster bonuses matter, sine the last year or 2 on many contracts are pure fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
