View Full Version : Do you ever receive offers for a draft pick?

I was going to post a thread about trading in general, but it seems there are a few older threads containing that kind of stuff. It is a bit disappointing that I have several reasonable players (above 35 rating) who have small salaries, and yet teams won't even trade a 7th rounder in 3 years time for them...

But anyway, my main question is, does the computer ever offer you a trade during the draft for one of your picks? (I play a single player game btw).

I see the computer teams trade with each other, and sometimes I want to trade back, and set up negotiating trades, but it would be much easier if there was a way of seeing which teams are interested in trading up, or if you actually received a notification saying "Trade Offer". I have only been through two drafts, so haven't had a great deal of exposure, just wondering if this does actually happen or not.

Thanks

The AI is a total ass when it comes to trades in SP. They are helplessly stupid in bidding wars and signing players and most everything else, but that 65/65 4th-year safety you have? Lucky if you manage to send him off for a 4th. Any veteran with greater than zero salary? No deal is possible. They're unwilling to take on all that money.

That's actually how the real life NFL works.

I don't know. Seems like a lot of trades in the NFL, would not happen in FOF.

For example, the Patriots traded for guard/tackle Quinn Ojinaka from the Falcons for something like a 7th. In FOF, the Patriots wouldn't take on his salary. There aren't enough trades in SP FOF, but it isn't just the AI's fault - there tend to be too few players on your roster that are even tradeable at all.

I can see why though, I guess. We'd all screw the hell out of any AI if we could trade more players.
