So I haven't seen any other posts before on this and it kinda surprises me because it seem like something that would pi$$ a lot of people off. If my trade doesn't go through before the deadline, it gets canceled. You get the players back involved in the trade, but not all the gold I spent trying to get prime Chris Davis. Key word, "trying." As someone who doesn't spend money on this game, (besides the $.99 to get those ads off my a$$) I'm not going to spend gold to try to speed the trade up when it might end up not going through anyways. Now, I understand it doesn't make sense for a trade to occur after the trade deadline, but neither does getting the players for a trade and it not going through right away. I'm not saying that's how it should be, but at least compromise and make it so that the trade keeps going through the deadline until the player is received. Otherwise, I spent about 4000 gold for nothing which was basically all of my gold. Oh, and I also had a trade for Jason Kipnis that also got canceled.
Now, about collections. Does anyone else find it strange how you HAVE to spend loads of gold to get the elite player, and if you don't spend the money all the trophies obtained to get him are worth nothing? 2 weeks are spent picking a random card for seemingly no reason other than getting a handful of cash on the occasion (never gotten a pick or gold from it).
RedTrunk? Anyone? Thoughts???

The trade feature is absolutely asinine. If you get the players for the trade, it should go through instantaneously. If you want to speed it up by spending the gold, it should go through. It usually (99%) doesn't.
Be thankful you didn't spend the gold to speed it up because you would've lost that amount of gold and not have gotten it back. It took me an extra 4200 in gold for the Davis trade to go through. It took me about the same for the last player (Lincecum) trade to go through. If I gave up at 4,000, I would've lost that 4,000 and not gotten the player. That's another crazy feature of the trading block. You should get the gold back you put in to speed the trade up - but you don't.
As for the collection feature, it takes a lot of gold to get Trout, but what do you expect? Get him for 1,000 gold?
Some people who were extremely lucky got him for around 7,000. Others have spent around 45,000 to get him. I still haven't gotten him (50 silver away) and I've spent close to 30,000. Luckily, most of that gold was spent during the fan rewards. I've spent around 20,000 of the gold trying to get the last 50 silver I needed, so don't think that just because you're getting close that it's going to come as soon as you think. I'm almost double on the amount of gold and bronze trophies I need, but I still need the 50 silver.
Elite Trout is an absolute stud though. Just don't spend gold on him until the fan rewards.
It is way too hard to trade for players and it shouldn't be. I just got lucky.
It should be possible to get Elite Trout during the time frame... And that doesn't seem possible at all. They should have done it where you get 250 of each medal and that gets you regular Trout... And then if you get 250 more, you get awesome Trout.
Of course it is predetermined. They program the % chance and that's what you get.
No reason to spend your own gold until the fan rewards.
