MLB Franchise of the Year: Comeback of the Elephants ~ A Oakland Athletics Franchise

[Vinsane]

Way to whoop up on the Giants.

 

[The Messenger]

73 games in and not even halfway through the year. Gotta love baseball lol.

 

[Rylo]

Damn that is a lot of HR's given up. Tough loss.

 

[Rylo]

Good come back win and that's a nice way to bounce back from getting blown out lol.

 

[Vinsane]

Damn, so much depth, I like the update. Anyone you see making moves from AA-AAA, vise versa. And AAA-MLB?

 

[mfbmike]

Sick update. Nice to see what the Minors are doing.

 

[Vinsane]

lol, if you were too look ahead in my chise, I could see my Indians with that record. lol! Great update!

 

[jHammack]

Very nice. Lookin good man.

Giants had Mike Jacobs?

You're playing the Show right?

In my Tigers chise there was like no trades for the first 1 and a half months or so. The CPU starts doing trades once you get in far enough? Is that how it works?

If GSW doesn't mind, Mike, the teams gauge what is going to happen in the first three months of the season. Often you can tell if your team is going to stay average .500, start to tank -.500, or prosper, +.500. GSW is at that point where teams are putting pieces together. The pieces that arn't working are often shipped to fill voids, thus if your bullpen is sucking and you have more than one LF/RF you can afford to lose that outfielder to fill the need.

The Trade Deadline is July 31st I believe. This isn't the NBA where trades happen in the first month or so, you'll see some movements in June, a lot in July. Of course after the trade deadline, you won't see them again until the off-season where teams figure out what worked, what didn't, and did the trades we made in season, work out. You gotta get out of the NBA mind-set where pieces are easily interchangable and you only have to worry about 5-7 players, instead now you have 40 players, plus minors to monitor.

Yeah, I understand that. I was just wondering only because in NBA2k9 trades happen pretty often. I wasn't sure if I had CPU trades off or something in my Tigers chise considering none had happen (to the best of my knowledge at least) up to the point where I was in the season.

If the trading AI in this game is so advanced that it makes moves depending on the current performance of the team and actually waits until 3 months in, THATS DOPE.

That's Baseball.

Sounds like the story of my life in the Golden Sombrero league. 1 run loss after 1 run loss after 1 run loss.

 

[Vinsane]

Wow, had some catching up to do, good job against Detroit man, unlucky they avoided the sweep. And I hate to say it but...GO TRIBE!

 

[Vinsane]

Wow, four game losing streak. What's going on man?

 

[Rylo]

Now you know what its like to play with the Pirates haha.

This is one of the best baseball chises out currently. Maybe not graphically, but it is a consistent chise and that's what I enjoy.

 

[Nash]

agreed. this is a great chise

 

[Vinsane]

I like Latroy Hawkins, good pick up.

 

[T.Dot]

Good win over the Sox GSW.
Casilla doing work.
Your good at hitting homers I see,
How many guys have hit 20 for you so far?

 

[Vinsane]

Way to end the streak man, get back to your winning ways!
