Yeah, I agree 100%! I'm sick of all the ESPN-jockers making excuses for all the crazy stuff like that. In real life it NEVER happens...

I started my franchise with the 'Fins, and I'll be damned if the CPU didn't retire my starting RB. I was like WTF? That is the most horrendous bug I've ever seen in a game. In his PRIME? Right before training camp? That would NEVER HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE. NEVER. Theres no excuse for such shoddy programming. I want my 20 bones back.

Retirements have indeed come out of the blue at times, especially in a stressful and violent contact sport like football. If you tell me how that pertains to trade logic, then you are indeed a better man than I.

If you entire reasoning is to show the unpredictability of the game, I challenge you to find two back to back seasons in the past 20 years where there were two blockbuster trades *in-season*. And while we are at it, find me one draft EVER where the only players taken in the first round were running backs, quarterbacks, offensive tackles, and defensive ends.

The only thing wrong with the trading model is the lack of a Trade freq slider.

for some people a lot of mixing it up with lots of trades is half the fun.

but i bet your one of the same people who say, "hey, its only a videogame, how much could it do"

[jordan0386]

and you guys really arent paying attention, the increased number of trades and signings is to combat storyline central...



think about it

Actually, quite the contrary. I believe the only way for videogames to advance is to expect the best out of them. And when I have seen excellent portrayals of trading, roster management, etc...out of small 2 man development teams creating football games for the computer, you better damned well believe I am going to expect it. Especially from a large company with a whole lot more capital to work with.

haha if it is its a lame attempt.

from what i have seen from storyline central, from reading about it/seeing videos, its way better than having alot of crazy trades. no doubt.

and with the player personalities (my fav feature from a franchise this year) so more goes into wanting to be on a team than just the money cus each player has different needs in a team, Madden's franchise looks like it is goin go to be way better again.

Actually, if this shows up in Madden then I will be all over it there too.
