KG,

I'd continue to argue that the value of pitching is too high. If you turn around and try to trade Schoendienst (who you value) you won't get any pitcher close to the quality of Sewell.

That depends......is he being traded to a team in the middle of a pennant race that needs one pitcher to put them over the top?

The link to the fan sites on the Main Screen is no longer working.

LOL. You don't get anything unless you can offer something, guys.   The AI GMs are NOT suckers, and I think that's good.    I've made some great trades with historical players, and I don't understand why you are complaining. 

Can you give some specific examples?  

I dont have my comp at home so i will work off memory.

Charles Hwang is my 30 yo 1B. He had put up 4 straight years of 280+, 25+, 90+. He is in his last year of a 5.5 mil contract. He wants 9.9 to be resigned. This season he is at 240-4-30 (no injuries) at the ASB. I want to dump him, moreso b/c I cant afford him. The offers I get are not even ML players. Like 20 contact 5 power or 10 stuff 20 control. Guys that have no use to any ML roster.

So if we wanna personify the GM, they dont wanna take a chance on Hwang bc he might be washed up. BUT does the comp GMs see the ratings I dont get to see. Do they know something I dont? Sure based on past performance I can get an avg 20yo class A guy.

Ok, something I see now with 1.28 is that the only teams willing to give up much in trade for any veteran player you try to trade are teams that need that particular position. In other versions you could get top players in return from all teams but now only if the team needs that position. I personally like that because it makes 1) good sense from the AI point of view and 2) makes it harder to rip off the AI. Also a possible bug: when trying to sort my teams stats when I click on a heading it goes back to the previously viewed screen.

Minor Bug I had a player on the 60 day DL. I put him on around Sept 1. At the last day of the season, I got 4 msg windows right in a row (click ok another would pop up) that said "Boise City's Houston Bell is elegible to return from the disabled list"

Assuming the trade AI isn't still stuck on the emphasis on relief pitching and closer, then it sounds to me like it has been massaged pretty well. 

Not that I trust it to initiate trades for itself that make any sense whatsoever.  But that would be good if you can't sucker-punch it.

Three times in the last 2 games I have managed, a outcome pitch was thrown and there was the crack of the bat, the ball moved forward and vanished. The play be play then read that the hitter had flown out to the outfield. Of course this is not the words used, but the point is that there was no ball flight.

I recently had an occurrence of the error where a guy steals second, then the batter is pinch-hit for, and the baserunner on second get's another at-bat while he is on second.  Then the pinch-hitter gets to bat.

I have an error when using the Add-ins feature. After I generate a report, click on a player to see his card, then close it, the card pops up again. It happens with all of the Add-in tools. Anyone have this happen?

vr,

Yea I've had this happen and it's been here since like v1.25 or something like that.

NEW BUG:

I was in the process of managing a game with the NAMBLA Association and the opposing team just hit a home run.  Well when the sounds for the fireworks tried to play.. the game just closed.. really fast.. no error.. just closed.
