would there be a way to add trading your DP's for 3 seasons?

if that would be easy code to add that would be nice...you know kinda like how it is in football mogul.

I haven't played the game yet, so I don't know if you can even trade picks at all, but I do know that MLB doesn't allow draft pick trades.

****** we have commissioner mode for a reason there should at least be a check box for allowing it or something. I would luse it thats for sure.

Unlike pro basketball and football, pro baseball does not allow any trading of draft picks. It is against MLB rules. So to keep the game realistic this should not be an option. Usually what would happen is a human player hoarding a ton of picks...

you are correct Cody, but i think more options under Comish would be great, not trading draft picks but maybe making 2 leagues with 4 divisions would be great!!!

Like I do with Madden in Franchise mode! Good thinking...

While MLB doesn't allow trading of draft picks, teams do get compensated draft picks when teams lose players to free agency. So in a sense, draft picks are traded for free agents. Personally, I think this would be a great way to help people who want to play small market teams or decide to scrap their team in return for younger players.

I like that idea.
