Need better draft screen trade options

bakersville123 · 12-23-2013, 10:03 AM

I've owned every one Jim releases since the first FOF

One thing that I'd really like to see added is a trade down option within the draft. I enjoy trading down to obtain more draft selections but its a pain currently. Would love to click a button within the draft that would give me teams interested in trading up.

Really enjoying FOF7

Agree, this would be awesome.

I've found in the past that just about any team will trade up with you if you offer them a deal that fits within the draft pick "points value" system. So any team, really, will move up into your draft pick slot if you make the points work.

Draft Countdown - Trade Value Chart

Ex, if you have the 4th overall pick that values out at 1800 points; bundle picks that total fewer than 1800 points and any team after you in the draft will accept the deal (To move from #4 to #7 you can add a 3rd, 5th, & 6th round pick, generally).

In past experience, even teams that eventually pay a premium (by the points value chart) to move in to picks after mine, won't pay above point value for my pick. I guess I just consider that part of the process that levels the playing field for the AI teams -- most of us do a better job than the AI in free agency, draft eval, player development eval ... allowing the AI to have more "points" in draft pick trades with a human team at least gives the AI something it beats us in.
