Trading AI

[burnum]

In earlier versions I usually considered the AI for trades kind of realistic for a computer game. In FOF8 I just saw a trade between 2 CPU teams. The Titans traded the first overall pick in the draft to Houston for 2 second rounders and a 4th. They didn't even get a 1st rounder back in return. That's waaaaay too cheap for the #1 overall pick.

Was this an outlier or should the trading AI be looked at for a future patch?

That's a bad trade. You may already know this but here is a chart that lists the relative value of trading draft picks (not players).

I understand from earlier versions that the game uses the trade value chart for calculation when the user trades with a CPU team. That's not the problem.

The problem arises when two CPU teams are trading without the user being involved.
