Can someone explain transactions?
I was just playing 2006 again season 2010 for the Marlins and come the end of the season I lost Volstad among others in free agency. Im English and find the whole transfer system crazy compared to what Im used to. If someone can point me in the right direction explaining why I have no money for extensions 5 seasons on the spin, then can't afford to keep Cabrera etc I would be grateful.
Cheers |

Yeah, the football transfer system is a heck of a lot simpler. The drawback to me of that, though, is the lack of player-for-player swaps. These make for the best post facto discussion in the real sport and some of the most agonizing sim decisions.

Blame the player's union and the owners.
It's a fine line between players having free agency (and able to sign for the largest $$$), but only limited players per season (to create their own version of scarcity) and owners, who want to keep their players without having to pay them anything. |

Another aspect to consider is that the present system has evolved over a considerable period of time. You may also want to try this site for some information on various items: http://www.mlb4u.com/wiki/index.php/Special:Allpages

EM field theory is more consistent and actually makes sense.

I used to think that basically you penalised success, having said that, Im so frigging bored of football in Europe and watching the rich get richer and the poor getting poorer, great players joining up to be bit parts for top $£. It makes me sick the way billionaires buy a team and slaughter the system. |

I think of the transaction rules as being rather like a foreign language. When you're first learning it, it's a real struggle and much of the vocabulary and grammar will seem quite strange. But as you spend more time with it, it begins to sink in and the pieces begin to fit together. You start to understand the language more intuitively. That's been my experience anyway. I know when I first read some of the rules, I couldn't make heads or tails out of most of them. Now, it makes a lot more sense, so much so that I can now begin wrapping my mind around the more obscure rules.
