Lame excuse. Because there are games out there that have much better AI trade logic.

Where was the excuse. Some of you people simply "fill in the blanks" just so you can make a statement. I acknowledged the fact that there was some bad trades and etc... I basically said accept it because is was a GAME. Never did I make an excuse. Simply put NO GAME is perfect.

This was taken from the post I made in the solutions thread. I figured I'd give it it's own thread since it's a big problem for alot of people. My 14 year old younger brother came up with this tho. He says this has been happening since NFL2K3.

Here's what I've found doing some research 'chises. I checked out 8 seperate franchise:

A player will not be traded if he isn't on the trading block!
I REPEAT, A PLAYER WILL NOT GET TRADED IF HE IS NOT ON THE TRADING BLOCK!!!!
...or if he is not a part of a deal on the trading block.

You have to check the trading block every week to see if realistic deals. If a deal on the trading block is too unrealistic, directly after you have saved the game you played...quit and resim the week. More than likely, the same player will not be on the trading block.

Depending on how you perceive it you can let a star player on the trading block but do not let a team offer an unrealistic deal. I let Strahan on the trading block. There was one deal for Vick and one deal for Moss. I let the deal for Vick go but kept the one for Moss since it is more realistic. Moss got traded for Strahan for that week. There is about a 70% chance that the player will get traded to the team that has offered the deal the following week.

Never let two star players get on the trading block either. It is a total pain in the [censored], because more often than not, one player or the other will have a unrealistic offer.

Other than that you should have 0 problems. The biggest trade I had in my franchise was Hugh Douglas to Raiders for Ron Stone. The CPU does make some damn good trades as well. The Bengals offered Chris Perry and a 70's rated LB for Vilma which is pretty good....


It really doesn't take alot of work either. Once I got the hang of it, it only took me a maximum of 4 times(most of the time it's like 2) to get things good enough to how I wanted it. The thing is, when you resim it, other untradeable players might get put on the block. That's really the only problem and it isn't a huge problem anyway.

or you could take control of every team and assign all the duties to you assistant coach except for trading...

I'm past the trade deadline and only 1 trade was made during the season and it was 2 no name guys. I have xbox version by the way. I wonder why some people are getting lots of trades and others are not?

so, about the crazy trades and all, I got rid of them, this is what you do, turn off preason and weekly prep, and I know, this will upset some, but I have seen 3 trades in 5 weeks and they have been fair and everything

---

What about turning preseason off and leaving weekly prep on?

And yes, those two shouldn't have anything to do with the trade-logic in the first place.

---

You guys they everything to do with each other and trades, because they make the trades to lower cap space, and/or replace someone with an injury!

[TheBandit]

Preseason and weekly prep seem to generate all the trades. If you are playing with one or both of them off, well you won't experience the problem.

Anyway, I think playing with presason off and using Rocky's solution for the first 6 weeks (until the trading deadline) is the perfect solution.

No game is pefect but this just slides off your back but when Madden's franchise is brought up in here, people make note of rookie jumping the vets and stuff, like it's the ultimate game killer.
