AI won't trade for ANYTHING

[MrDNA]

Yikes.

I currently hold the #6 pick in this season's draft and I desperately want to get into the top 2 to pick one of two awesome RBs coming out. I have offered so many combinations of trades to get the #2 and the computer refuses everything. They need a LB, so I trade my best one, my first rounder and next year's first rounder... and they don't want to pay his salary. I try to trade them a cheaper guy and throw in my third round pick... they don't like his talent. Any ideas on what the heck I can do?

P.S. They also won't trade just draft picks without adding value, even if I give up my entire draft.

Landing a top 2, usually 3, pick is a nightmare. Even with a top 10 to use a starting bait. You're likely going to have to sell your current #6, as well as your next 2 firsts to get close. You may have to toss in a couple 2nds as well. (Hershell Walker style) Usually never worth it.

search for a draft value chart on google. It will give you a feel for what draft picks to give up. According to the one on the redzone.com the #2 pick is worth 2,600 points the #6 is worth 1,600 points. You will need to make up 1,000 points of value. Your second round picks is worth 520 points. You might want to try your #1, #2, and #2 next year.


I would avoid players, they just don't happen that often in the NFL.

I've gotten the #1 pick before by trading an above average player and my next 3 year's first round picks. It's sort of a Ricky Williams type of deal, but I don't usually care because I'm generally picking towards the very end of the 1st round anyways, and it's worth it to get a sure thing.

Every time I need a new HOF QB I do this. Sure, I sacrifice some future 1st rounders, but 3 mid to late 1st rounders do not win me as many games as a HOF QB.

I think the computer has always been willing to deal if I give them a fair value by according to the draft chart. Haven't had luck throwing in players though.

Well, I had to give up my first rounder (#6), my third and fourth this year and next year's first as well as a young QB prospect (never would've been more than a back up for me) to get the #2 overall pick and...



I'm pretty happy with it... at least until next year when I have to sit out the whole first round.

can you post his stat sheet,( rushing)
and where did you land in the 1st round next year? it sounds like you got a fair deal for the #2 pick, at least you didnt have to give up your nut sac for the pick

[underlinedi]

looks like he should be renamed Jim Brown and given #32

[Bisbo]

That's an awful lot to give up for a guy who sucks at kick returns.

Those are some serious red bars there! I heard he doesn't play hard to win though.

How did the other one pan out?

What a Maroon...

The young Mr. Denson racked up 1300+ yards on his way to OROY and helped us make it to the Front Office Bowl... where we lost. So that future first rounder was #31. Take that, Chicago!
