What factors into Madden's trade logic?

[Deegeezy]

Does age or contract play a role or does it go strictly by overall rating?

What are the approximate going rates for guys at each ratings threshold (i.e. 70 overall, 80 overall, 90 overall, etc)

One would hope need would factor in there somewhere for each side, but who knows........

Well I think it goes from overall rating, I mean if you have 92 RB and want to trade for a 95 RB or higher you can't do it.

Excellent question.

Right...I guess I should have been more specific though. I am most interested to know how does the CPU value draft pick for player trades.

Would an 75+ guy warrant a 3rd round pick compensation, could I land a 6th rounder for a 65 overall guy, etc?

I've never been quite sure what goes in to the trade logic, but as of 09, it has been too easy to fleece the computer. I have to go out of my way to try and make sure the computer gets a fair trade so my team doesn't end up totally stacked.

I'd love for the logic to include things like age, need, potential and scheme fit.

Well put, I had a lot of people doubt that I could get a first round pick for Joey Porter (94 OVR). In real life that probably wouldn't happen unless a team like the Colts thought he was the missing piece and would give up their late first rounder. In past Madden anyone rated in the 90s could definitely snag you at least a first rounder, but it will be interesting to see how the logic factors in age this year.

I'm sure a 75- 80 guy would be like 2nd or 3rd round. I don't exactly know how the round trades go in Madden so.
